Based on the provided information, 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 Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system is a phototherapy device that applies light directly to the patient's skin for treatment. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states treatment of skin conditions, not diagnosis based on in vitro analysis.
- Device Description: The description details a system for applying light, not for analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, the Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related accessories is designed to allow a clinician to easily apply UVA or UVB light to the patient's affected skin. The clinician selects the desired treatment type (UVA or UVB light) and applies the light through the appropriate handpiece by pointing the exit aperture towards the affected skin area.
The device is comprised of four main components:
- A base station
- A touchscreen where the user can enter system commands
- Two handpieces connected to the base by power cables. One handpiece contains diode emitters that, when activated, emit UVA light. The other handpiece emits UVB light. Either handpiece will only operate if the appropriate wavelength is selected, so a user cannot accidentally activate the incorrect handpiece. Activation of energy occurs on depression of a trigger in the handpiece.
- A printer accessory that can print out verification of treatment parameters for hard copy records.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Psoria-Shield has performed bench testing consistent with design verification activities required under 21 CFR 820 to confirm the design modifications have no effect on the safety or effectiveness of the modified device. This was confirmed through verifying that UVA and UVB energy dosage output are within 10% of user-selected power settings.
Testing was performed using a production-equivalent Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related accessories, with energy dosage measured using a Coherent PowerMax PC thermopile sensor array. Testing was performed to confirm the joule output of the device in a cm² area in the center of both the thermopile and using the center of the chipset arrays for the most accurate reading possible. Screenshots of the AURORA device were taken at the same time to demonstrate the dosage that the device was calibrated to deliver in the pulse.

| Technical Characteristics: | The Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related
accessories has the exact technological characteristics as the
previously cleared AURORA™ (K192411 July 2,2020). Additionally,
Psoria Shield is claiming substantial equivalence to the PhotoMedex
XTRACT (K073659 January 2,2008).
The Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related
accessories emits either UVA or UVB light, depending on which has
been selected by the clinician. The power output is the same between
UVA or UVB. The treatment area is the same between UVA or UVB.
Treatment instructions are the same between both the UVA and UVB.
Thus, the modified AURORA is the same device as the cleared
AURORA™ (K192411 July 2,2020) except for the modifications listed
in table below, and for which Psoria-Shield is seeking clearance: | | |
| Modification | Detailed description of modification |
|---|---|
| A modification was | |
| implemented to improve | |
| the communication | |
| between the Enhanced | |
| AURORA and the | |
| thermal printer. Minor | |
| changes were made to | |
| the code of the | |
| Enhanced AURORA. | |
| These modified | |
| changes are | |
| incorporated in the new | |
| version of the code | |
| 1.2.4. | The update consisted of updating the USB Printer to improve the |
| communication of the USB thermal printer address. The update | |
| was done to ensure that the firmware/software connection was | |
| fixed to allow the Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system to | |
| properly function for the user. This was done to allow the clinician | |
| to utilize the thermal printer function while additionally preventing | |
| them from overriding the Patient ID function while utilizing the | |
| device. A software change to the code was made in order for the | |
| clinician to read results before printing and to include an added | |
| treatment area to the results screen on the Enhanced AURORA ™ | |
| Medical Diode system. |
6
| Performance Data: | Psoria-Shield has performed bench testing consistent with design
verification activities required under 21 CFR 820 to confirm the
design modifications have no effect on the safety or effectiveness of
the modified device. This was confirmed through verifying that UVA
and UVB energy dosage output are within 10% of user-selected
power settings.
Testing was performed using a production-equivalent Enhanced
AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related accessories, with
energy dosage measured using a Coherent PowerMax PC thermopile
sensor array. Testing was performed to confirm the joule output of the
device in a cm² area in the center of both the thermopile and using
the center of the chipset arrays for the most accurate reading
possible. Screenshots of the AURORA device were taken at the
same time to demonstrate the dosage that the device was calibrated
to deliver in the pulse. |

| Substantial Equivalence: | The Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related
accessories has the exact same use as the previously cleared
AURORA™ (K192411 July 2, 2020). In addition, the Enhanced
AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related accessories has the
exact indications and principles of operation as the predicate devices,
the exact technological characteristics to the AURORA™ (K192411
July 2,2020) and very similar technical characteristics to the
PhotoMedex XTRACT (K073659 January 2, 2008).
Although there are minor differences between the Enhanced
AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related accessories and its
predicate devices. Note that the indications for use (IFU's) are not
being changed, modified, or altered in any fashion from the predicate
devices. Thus, the Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system and
related accessories is substantially equivalent to the predicate
devices. |
| Conclusion: | In summary, the company's Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode
system and related accessories has the exact same use as the
previously cleared AURORA™ (K192411 July 2,2020). In addition,
the Enhanced AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related
accessories has the exact indications and principles of operation as
the predicate devices, and the exact technological characteristics to
the AURORA™ (K192411 July 2,2020) and very similar technical
characteristics to the PhotoMedex XTRACT (K073659 January 2,
2008). Although there are minor differences between the Enhanced
AURORA™ Medical Diode system and related accessories and its
predicate devices as summarized in table below. Note that the
indications for use (IFU's) are not being changed, modified, or altered
in any fashion from the predicate devices. Thus, the Enhanced |
