Intended Use
The Clareon™ and Solarus™ Pulsed Light Systems are light-based medical device(s) designed for Permanent Hair reduction , Photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions, photothermolysis of blood vessels(facial and leg veins), and treatment of benign pigmented lesions on all skin types. Treatment of inflammatory Acne on skin types I-IV.
Device Story
Clareon™ and Solarus™ are light-based systems utilizing interchangeable handpieces for dermatological procedures. Handpieces include HR (hair reduction), SR (vascular/pigmented lesions/hair), VR (vascular/pigmented lesions), and AR (inflammatory acne). Systems deliver pulsed light energy to target tissues; principle of operation involves selective photothermolysis. Devices are intended for clinical use by healthcare professionals. Output consists of controlled light pulses; clinical decision-making relies on provider assessment of skin type and lesion characteristics. Benefits include non-invasive treatment of vascular/pigmented lesions, hair reduction, and acne management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on technological comparison and performance data indicating that differences in specifications do not result in different performance or raise new safety/efficacy concerns.
Technological Characteristics
Light-based medical system; utilizes interchangeable handpieces (HR, SR, VR, AR) for specific dermatological applications. Energy source is pulsed light. System is designed for clinical use. No specific materials, software architecture, or connectivity standards are detailed in the provided documentation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for permanent hair reduction on all skin types; photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions, photothermolysis of facial/leg blood vessels, and treatment of benign pigmented lesions on all skin types; and treatment of inflammatory acne on skin types I-IV.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
(1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
