The device description focuses on LED light therapy and a change to WiFi control for starting and timing treatments. There is no mention of algorithms, data processing for decision making, or any characteristics typically associated with AI/ML. The control is based on pre-set time options selected by the user via a web app.
Yes.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use as a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment for the reduction of circumference of hips, waist, and thighs" and "for the treatment of superficial, benign vascular, and pigmented lesions," which are therapeutic applications.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated for treatment purposes (reduction of circumference, treatment of lesions, reduction of cellulite appearance) and does not perform any diagnostic functions.
No
The device is described as an LED light therapy device with physical components like a main control unit, LED panel, and cable connections. While it utilizes WiFi control via a web app, the core function and mechanism of action are based on hardware (LED light therapy). The 510(k) summary explicitly states "The devices with the new design change do not contain any software." referring to the device itself, not the controlling web app.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The UltraSlim DIGITAL and UltraSmooth DIGITAL devices are described as LED light therapy devices used for non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatments and the treatment of superficial lesions. They apply light externally to the body.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological samples from the patient. The device's function is based on the interaction of light with the body's tissues.
Therefore, the intended use and device description clearly indicate that this is a therapeutic or aesthetic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

All test results were compliant.
7. Legally Marketed Predicate Device(s)
The UltraSlim® Digital is substantially equivalent to its legally marketed predicate, Photonica Professional (K160880 & K150336), and UltraSmooth® Digital is substantially equivalent to its legally marketed predicate, Cellulize (K180338).
8. Device Description
UltraSlim® Digital and UltraSmooth® Digital are LED light therapy devices. The UltraSlim Digital uses 625nm red light (UltraSlim Digital), and the UltraSmooth Digital uses 532nm green light (UltraSmooth Digitial). The devices are generally described as pole-mounted and free-standing on a rolling base as shown in the figures below.
Note that the commercial names of the units were changed from Photonica Professional and Cellulize, to UltraSlim and UltraSmooth, respectively for marketing purposes, and the listings for each device were subsequently updated.
Both devices, UltraSlim® Digital and UltraSmooth® Digital, continue to share the same design platform, and only differ in the color of the LED light array. The associated branding/names, warning labels, and differences due to their respective indications for use will remain the same as previously cleared, and do not change as a result of this proposed controller change.
Design Features / Similarities
All design and manufacturing parameters are very similar in both devices including the power supply, drivers, internal components, physical form, and control. The devices consist of a main control unit, LED panel, and cable connections. The main control unit contains the main input, fuses, power supply, control circuits, and Minutes selector switch. The power switch has a failsafe system that ensures the voltage from a wall socket can never come in contact with the user. A hospital-approved isolation transformer is mounted on the base of the medical pole cart whose low center of gravity also supports the main control unit and the light fixture from tipping. The console is mounted to the pole with an articulated arm. Treatment time is
5
selected from pre-determined options programmed into the digital timer relay that do not allow the user to vary treatment times. System operation is preset. Both units operate at a frequency of 50Hz – 60Hz and a total power output of 300 W.
Image /page/5/Picture/2 description: The image shows two light therapy devices on stands. The device on the left has the words "UltraSlim DIGITAL" on the top box, while the device on the right has the words "UltraSmooth DIGITAL" on the top box. Both devices have a rectangular light panel with many small LED lights. The devices are on white stands with wheels.
Both devices have already been cleared for their two treatment time options: 8-minutes and 20-minutes which does not change. The use of 8-minute intervals is typically used during fat loss in order to expose the patient for 8-minute intervals on different areas of the skin while the 20-minute treatment option is for skin treatments in a single sustained area. The prior design included an internal timer pre-set to 8 and 20 minutes. The user selected the desired treatment time using a toggle switch located on the control cabinet, and there were no options for the user to alter the pre-set treatment times.
Design Change Details
A design change was implemented, in an identical way, in the control of both devices that changes the unit from manual control to WiFi control. In general terms, the design change effectively replaces the electronic relay from the old design with a WiFi relay switch that is activated via WiFi from a mobile, desktop, tablet, or laptop device.
The new control design centers around replacing the manual time interval select and start button with a 4-Channel WiFi Relay Switch. Initiating a start sequence of the unit will be performed via internet control using a Relay Switch that receives its instructions from the user
6
through WiFi control. Users continue to be restricted to the treatment time options of 8 and 20 minutes in the web app, and are able to start the device from the WiFi control.
The push button momentary start switch is removed in the new design. Users only have the ability to start the device by way of WiFi control.
The devices with the new design change do not contain any software. However, a web app accessible through the internet allows users to log in, select treatment time options of 8 minutes or 20 minutes, and to initiate treatment. The built-in timer control via the 4-Channel WiFi Relay Switch automatically stops the treatment at the end of the approved treatment time based upon the input received from the user.
Each device has a unique local IP address that is associated with its assigned router. Each router has its own unique client's ISP-assigned Static IP and may be controlled by WiFi from any phone, tablet, or computer with Internet access.
All of the specific component/control changes include:
- Inside the console, the two existing timer delay relays and sockets are replaced with one timer delay relay board that has four relays and WiFi.
- A failsafe shut-off relay on the incoming 120VAC breaks the circuit to the LEDs which creates heat if the cooling fans lose their 12VDC power. The failsafe shut-off relay prevents any possibility of overheating if the three cooling fans should ever lose 12VDC power.
- . Instead of locating a 12VDC power supply in the emitter, 12VDC is received from an existing power supply in the console, along with 120VAC and ground. Accordingly, the existing PowerCon, three-conductor cable between console and emitter, and cable gland on the emitter are replaced with a four-conductor cable and 4-pin Amphenol connectors on the console and emitter.
- On the console, the look of the unit has been altered by relocating the Power and Active LEDs. A "Power" LED is added to indicate that the unit is powered. A "Ready" LED is added to indicate that WiFi is connected and communicating properly with its router, and a "Active" LED illuminates when a treatment is active. The Start and Time switches are omitted.
- . There is no change in size or shape of the device and no change to the treatments, output LEDs, power, brightness, timer durations, pole cart, emitter steel case, brackets, arm, warning labels, or isolation transformer. The weight difference between the current versions and the Digital versions is less than one pound.
- . Treatment time is dictated to the controller from the web app software instead of an externally-mounted toggle switch.
- Treatment light is turned on by the WiFi-enabled relay instead of using a momentary start button. The relay turns the treatment light off at end of set time.
The scope of the changes to the equipment design have not impacted any of the performance aspects of the devices including:
- Indication for Use - unchanged.

9. Labeling
All labeling of the device remains the same with the exception of the user manuals which have been updated in compliance with IEC/EN 60601-1-2:2014, Clause 5 Identification, Marking and Documents. The user manuals have also been revised to include instructions pertinent to the WiFi control of the device. The new marketed name "UltraSlim Digital" and "UltraSmooth Digital" respectively, adds the new word, "Digital" to the trade name to differentiate it from the prior design. All product labeling continues to satisfy the requirements of 21 CFR 807.87(e).
10. Electrical Shock and Basic Safety
Compliance to IEC 60601-2-57, Medical electrical equipment for the basic safety and essential performance of non-laser light source equipment intended for therapeutic, diagnostic, monitoring and cosmetic/aesthetic use remains unchanged as a result of design changes.
11. Photobiological Safety
The photobiological safety of the devices remains unchanged from the previously cleared design.
12. Software Validation
No software resides on the device; however, a web app is used to control the WiFi switch turning the unit on via WiFi control as described above. After activating the treatment, the unit runs its designated time using the timer control of the relay – same as before.
The software control of the web app to log in and initiate treatments was validated.
13. Cybersecurity
A risk-based cybersecurity safety evaluation was performed as part of the new design evaluation. This information is used to support the evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of this WiFi-enabled device.
The software level of concern is described as "Minor" because any possible failures or latent design flaws are unlikely to cause any injury to the patient or operator.
8
The Cybersecurity Risk Classification Level of Concern is classified as Tier 2 "Standard Cybersecurity Risk." The device is considered Tier 2 "Standard Cybersecurity Risk" devices because one of the criteria for Tier 1 classification is not met even though it is capable of connecting to a network / internet. Ward Photonics has determined that a cybersecurity incident affecting the device could not directly result in patient harm to even one or multiple patients.
