• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

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

Device Story

Aurora SR is a dermatological device for treating superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesions. It utilizes selective thermolysis, combining optical and RF energy. Parameters (spectrum, exposure duration, energy density) are optimized to selectively damage target lesions while sparing surrounding tissue. The device is used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. The modification involves an increase in RF energy output compared to the predicate. The output allows clinicians to perform targeted lesion destruction, potentially benefiting patients by clearing benign vascular and pigmented skin conditions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and the limited nature of the modification (increased RF energy output).

Technological Characteristics

Device utilizes combined optical and RF energy for selective thermolysis. Modification involves increased RF energy output. Class II device; Product Codes GEX, GEI. Regulation numbers 21 CFR 878.4810 and 878.4400.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the treatment of superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesions in dermatology patients.

Regulatory Classification

Identification
