Name of the Device: Aurora SR

- The Aurora SR is substantially equivalent to a combination of Predicate Devices: the following devices: the PhotoDerm VL, manufactured by ESC Medical Systems Ltd. and subject of K950493; the PhotoDerm PL, manufactured by ESC Medical Systems Ltd. and subject of K960772; the ThermaCool, manufactured by Thermage Inc. and subject of K000944; the Vnus Closure System, manufactured by Vnus Medical Technologies Inc. and subject of K982816.
- Device Description: The Aurora SR is a device that is used for treatment of superficial, benign vascular and pigmented lesions. The Aurora SR treatment is based on the principle of selective (electromagnetic) thermolysis. According to this principle, parameters of optical and RF energy (spectrum, exposure duration and energy density) are chosen and optimized to selectively damage pigmented and vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding tissues.

The Aurora SR is intended for use in dermatology for treatment of superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesion treatment.

Based upon an analysis of the overall performance characteristic for the device. Syneron Medical Ltd. believes that no significant differences exit. Therefore the Aurora DS should raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
