The Omnilux CLEAR acne facemask is an over-the-counter device intended to emit energy in the red and blue region of the light spectrum, specifically indicated to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris on the face.
The Omnilux CLEAR consists of:
- Silicon flexible face mask
- Controller
- Power supply and country specific adaptors
- USB C to USB A connector
- 2 x Velcro Straps
The Omnilux CLEAR acne facemask is an over-the-counter device intended to emit energy in the red and blue region of the light spectrum, specifically indicated to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris on the face. The system consists of a flexible silicon mask (1) that contains light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a controller (2). The LEDs generate the light. The mask is worn on the face and is held in place by two adjustable Velcro straps (5). The mask compromises of 2 surfaces. An inner surface that contacts the skin and an outer surface. Both surfaces are constructed of medical grade silicon.
The controller (2) switches the LEDs ON/OFF and controls power to the mask. The controller contains a rechargeable Lithium-ion polymer battery. The controller uses a visible display comprising of 3 micro-LEDs to show the user the battery charge status of the device.
The power supply (3) is used to charge the Lithium battery and is connected to a suitable mains outlet via a 2 or 3 pin input socket and wall plug. The power cable is connected to the controller by a standard micro-USB A-C connector (4). The Omnilux CLEAR mask cannot be operated while charging.
The equipment is not used to make measurements of any sort, or to draw any conclusions regarding the indication to treat. The equipment does not require checks on the light output as the LEDs do not dim with age to any practical extent.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Omnilux CLEAR device, intended for treating mild to moderate acne vulgaris. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than providing a clinical study with acceptance criteria and performance data in the typical sense of a comparative effectiveness study for an AI/ML algorithm.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and standalone performance for an AI/ML device are not present in this document because it describes a light therapy device, not an AI/ML system.
However, I can extract information related to the device's performance based on the provided text, particularly concerning its comparison to predicate devices and the non-clinical testing performed.
Here's an analysis of the provided text in the context of your request:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not present "acceptance criteria" for clinical performance in the way an AI/ML algorithm might (e.g., target specificity, sensitivity, or AUC threshold). Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to predicate devices by comparing technological characteristics and intended use. The "performance" is implicitly tied to meeting similar specifications as the predicates and demonstrating general safety and functionality through non-clinical testing.
Here's a table summarizing the device's characteristics compared to predicates, which are implicitly its performance against established acceptable characteristics for such devices:
| Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Predicate K160691) | Reported Device Performance (Omnilux CLEAR) | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intended Use | Treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris | Treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris | Identical |
| Device Classification | Class II | Class II | Identical |
| Product Code | OLP | OLP | Identical |
| Energy Type | Light emitting diodes | Light emitting diodes | Identical |
| Peak Wavelength (Red) | 633 ± 4nm | 630nm +/- 5nm | Equivalent |
| Peak Wavelength (Blue) | 442 ± 4nm | 412.5nm +/- 7.5nm | Equivalent |
| Intensity (Blue) | 26.5 mW/cm² | 28 mW/cm² | Equivalent |
| Intensity (Red) | 7.5 mW/cm² | 16 mW/cm² | Equivalent |
| Total Intensity | 34 mW/cm² | 44 mW/cm² | Equivalent |
| Treatment Time | 6 minutes | 10 minutes | Equivalent |
| Dose (Blue) | 9.6 J/cm² | 16.8 J/cm² | Equivalent |
| Dose (Red) | 2.6 J/cm² | 9.6 J/cm² | Equivalent |
| Treatment Protocol (Freq.) | Daily | 4 x weekly, 6 weeks | Similar (Differences are acceptable for light therapy devices) |
The justification for "equivalence" in parameters like wavelength, intensity, treatment time, and dose is that these differences "can be negated by appropriate clinical or scientific data demonstrating that the proposed device is as safe and effective as the predicate device, and that the proposed device does not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device for the same intended use." In this case, the document argues that the non-clinical testing (electrical safety, EMC, photobiological safety, biocompatibility, software, risk management) addresses these differences, implying no new safety/efficacy concerns.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
For the device itself (Omnilux CLEAR, a light therapy mask), there isn't a "test set" in the sense of a dataset of images/cases for an AI algorithm.
However, there was a label comprehension testing study, which can be considered a form of human factors "test set":
- Sample Size: 27 subjects
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the study implies it was conducted with participants, presumably in a controlled environment. Retrospective/Prospective is not specified but usually, such studies are prospective. Country of origin not specified, but the submission is to the US FDA.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission for a light therapy device. There was no medical "ground truth" to establish for a diagnostic AI system's performance.
For the label comprehension study:
- There were no "experts" establishing a ground truth in the medical sense. The "ground truth" for label comprehension was the correct understanding of the device's labeling by lay users, assessed against pre-defined correct answers to comprehension questions. The study assessed user comprehension, not medical ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable for this type of device. No medical adjudication was performed as there was no diagnostic "test set" requiring it.
For the label comprehension study:
- No adjudication method like 2+1 was described. The study likely involved participants answering comprehension questions based on the labeling, and their answers were scored against a pre-determined correct set.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI systems in diagnostic imaging, not for a light therapy device. The document explicitly states: "Since the Omnilux CLEAR mask raises no new questions in terms of safety and efficacy, clinical data is not required." This means no human-in-the-loop or clinical efficacy study was required for this 510(k) clearance due to the device's substantial equivalence to predicates.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML algorithm. It is a physical light therapy device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable for the device's therapeutic function, as clinical data was not required.
For the label comprehension study, the "ground truth" was simply the intended meaning and safe usage instructions contained within the device's labeling.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This refers to AI/ML algorithms. The Omnilux CLEAR is a hardware device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. This refers to AI/ML algorithms.
Summary of what was presented in the document:
The submission focuses heavily on demonstrating substantial equivalence of the Omnilux CLEAR to predicate light therapy devices (K160691 and K081307) based on:
- Identical intended use.
- Similar technological characteristics (energy type, wavelengths, intensities, doses, treatment times).
- Compliance with relevant non-clinical performance and safety standards (electrical safety, EMC, photobiological safety, biocompatibility, software life cycle, risk management).
- Label comprehension testing to ensure lay users can operate the device safely and effectively without professional medical intervention.
The document argues that because the Omnilux CLEAR is substantially equivalent to existing devices and presents no new questions of safety or efficacy, a full clinical study with human patients for therapeutic effectiveness was not required for its 510(k) clearance.

5.3.2. Substantial Equivalency and Comparison of Technological Similarities & Differences
From the comparative table above, the Omnilux CLEAR acne facemask demonstrates equivalence to the Acne Light therapy Wand K160691. The key similarities are;
i. The intended use of the Omnilux CLEAR mask is equivalent to the listed predicates; an over-the-counter device that is intended for the use in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris.
ii. Devices are phototherapy units utilizing light emitting diodes that emit in the red and blue spectrum.
iii. The wavelength spectrum of the devices is equivalent.
iv. The devices have a similar individual and cumulative power densities and deliver a similar single and cumulative dose over the treatment protocol course.
There are therefore no significant differences between the proposed device and predicate device. Where there are differences these have been addressed by non-clinical performance testing to the following applicable standards
5.4. Non- clinical performance testing
The Omnilux CLEAR system has been thoroughly evaluated for electrical safety and performance and has been found to conform to the following standards.

In addition to the aforementioned standards the Omnilux CLEAR labelling was subject to label comprehension testing. With respect to medical devices available without the intervention of a physician, termed 'Over the Counter' (OTC). To determine the effectiveness of labelling pertaining to a medical device, the labelling and device was tested with an appropriate random sample of users.
A study was conducted and is appended to this submission, demonstrating comprehension of the Omnilux CLEAR labelling. 27 subjects took part in the study, 14:13 M:F, average age 33.6 years (range 17-65). Six subjects identified English as their second language. In terms of ethnicity two subjects identified as Hispanic, one Native American, one black/African, five Asian, and three Arabic. The average number of words incorrect in the REALM reading test was 5, giving a mean reading ability of 61 (High school) (range 55-66).
No new use errors, hazardous situations, or hazard-related use scenarios were discovered during testing. Further improvement of the user interface design as it relates to safety was deemed unnecessary and there were no suggested revisions to the version of the user manual or box packaging tested.
The comprehension and use test demonstrated that the Omnilux CLEAR labelling could be used by lay persons to safely and effectively operate the device to attain its intended use and purpose.
Clinical Performance
Since the Omnilux CLEAR mask raises no new questions in terms of safety and efficacy, clinical data is not required.

Below "OMNILUX" is the word "CLEAR" in a smaller font, with the left half in blue and the right half in red, separated by a short line.
Statement of Substantial Equivalence:
513(i) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360c(i) states that for substantial equivalence a proposed device is required to have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate device. Where there are differences in technological characteristics, these can be negated by appropriate clinical or scientific data demonstrating that the proposed device is as safe and effective as the predicate device, and that the proposed device does not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device for the same intended use.
Globalmed technologies has demonstrated that the Omnilux CLEAR mask has an identical intended use, has the same generic classification and basic principles and technologies as the primary predicate device. Both devices utilize red and blue wavelengths of light with similar power densities and equivalent dose of light.
Globalmed Technologies has conducted non-clinical performance testing applicable to those general controls deemed necessary by the agency for this product classification and has determined that the Omnilux CLEAR raises no new questions relating to safety and therefore has demonstrated that the Omnilux CLEAR mask is substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate Acne Light therapy Wand (K160691)
