Intended Use
The Soundskin Phototherapy System is generally indicated to treat dermatological conditions, specifically indicated to treat moderate inflammatory Acne Vulgaris.
Device Story
Soundskin Phototherapy System is a visible light source for dermatological treatment; specifically moderate inflammatory Acne Vulgaris. Device consists of a base unit containing power supply/electronic control, a three-part support arm, and a lamp housing. System emits red light (635 +/- 5nm) and blue light (435 +/- 5nm) for uniform illumination of treatment area. Operation is automated via mechanical relays; no software used. Treatment cycle: 10 minutes red light followed by 10 minutes blue light; automatic shut-off after 20 minutes. Operated by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Output intensity is 2460 mW/sq cm. Device provides non-invasive phototherapy to assist in acne management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided in the document. The manufacturer states that clinical trials prove effectiveness is the same as the predicate device, but specific study results, sample sizes, or metrics are not included in the provided text.
Technological Characteristics

#### 4. Device Description
The Soundskin Phototherapy System is a visible light source of high spectral purity, it provides uniform illumination of red light and blue light within the same lamp housing. The output is pre-tuned to one wavelength for each light, with a narrow spectral handwidth of 635 +/-5nm for red light and an output of 435 +/- 5nm bandwidth for blue light. The light output is 2460 mW ner sa cm of the treatment area with a lamp efficiency of 95% of the nutput. This compares with laser outputs which are approximately 2300-2500 mW per sq cm of area covered when measured in joules the output can average between 15 and 600 per sq cm. We have supplied technical data sheets and charts for the information requested.
The Soundskin system is in three parts, the hase unit contains the power supply and electronic control unit, the programme is electronic timed through mechanical relays instead of software for simplicity und reliability. The red light runs for 10 minutes then changes to blue light for 10 minutes, at the end of the 20 minute cycle it automatically shuts off. There is a separate mains supply switch attached to the base unit and a single on off switch on the lamp housing everything is uutomatic operation. A three part arm attached to the base unit supports the lamp housing, the head is attached to the end of the arm with a multifunctional positioning for natient treatment. The automatic controlled electronics operate from a single reset button on the lamp housing for easy access.
- న్ Indications for use
The Soundskin Phototherapy System is generally indicated to treat dermatological conditions, specifically indicated to treat moderate inflammatory Acne Vulgaris.
- Performance duta ().
Based upon an analysis of the overall performance characteristics for the Soundskin Light device, BHC. International believes that no significant differences exist hetween this system and the predicate system quoted. Therefore, the Soundskin Phototherapy System raises no new issues of safety and the clinical trials prove the effectiveness is the same.
