Intended Use

As an accessory for a compatible legally marketed Laser or Intense Pulse Light System for use in hair removal. Its handpiece produces a negative pressure over the skin surface, just prior to the administration treatment beam through it. Reduction of pain during Laser or Intense Pulse Light System treatment.

Device Story

The Serenity Pro PSF™ System is a vacuum-based accessory for laser or IPL hair removal devices. It generates negative pressure (380-680 mbar) via a handpiece with a sapphire window. When positioned on the skin, the vacuum flattens the treatment site, expelling blood to enhance light penetration and facilitate heat removal. The laser or IPL beam is delivered through the transparent, thermally conductive sapphire window. Used in clinical settings by practitioners, the device aims to reduce treatment-associated pain and post-treatment erythema. Clinical evidence confirms significant pain reduction and decreased erythema compared to standard laser treatment without the PSF system.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical study (n=not specified) compared laser hair removal with and without the PSF system. Primary endpoint: pain reduction measured via modified McGill Pain questionnaire. Secondary endpoint: erythema reduction rated immediately and 20 minutes post-treatment. Results showed significant reduction in pain and lessened erythema with PSF usage. Data previously reviewed under K071469.

Technological Characteristics

Vacuum-based skin flattening system; operating pressure 380-680 mbar. Handpiece features a sapphire window (thermally conductive, transparent). Accessory device for laser/IPL systems. No changes to fundamental technology compared to predicates.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as an accessory to legally marketed laser or intense pulse light (IPL) systems for hair removal and reduction of pain during treatment.

Description: The Serenity Pro PSF™ System is a device which has the ability to produce a vacuum at a level of 380-680 mbar. Suction can be delivered through its handpiece. which has a sapphire window at its distal end, to be positioned over the skin for laser or IPL treatment. When the PSF system is activated, the negative pressure results in the flattening of the skin of the treatment site. During the time duration of suction, the treatment beam of the laser or IPL is administered through the sapphire window of the handpiece, which is transparent and thermally conductive. The resultant tight mechanical contact produced by the PSF expels blood from the treatment site which enhances the light penetration of the laser or IPL in tissue as well as the removal of its heat from the skin. This can reduce the possibility of post treatment erythema.

## 510(k) Summary

#### 7. Performance Data: The basis for substantial equivalence for this device (K072925) relies upon the clinical data which was submitted in K071469. K071469 was determined to be substantially equivalent by FDA on 8/15/2007.

This data was obtained in a clinical study. The primary objective of the study was to confirm the assumption that the Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System (PSF) reduces laser therapy associated pain. This study involved normal laser treatment parameters which were typically expected to be painful. Evaluation consisted of pain experienced in treated sites with PSF compared with treated sites without PSF. The measurement of immediate post treatment subject pain was recorded utilizing a modified McGill Pain questionnaire, which is commonly used in pain evaluation.

A secondary objective of this clinical study was to confirm that the use of PSF decreased the erythema associated with current laser therapy. The clinical investigators rated erythema immediately and 20 minutes post treatment for standard laser treatment laser vs. laser with PSF.

The results of the clinical data indicated that the Candela - Inolase Serenity PSF™ (Pneumatic Skin Flattening) System (PSF) significantly reduces the pain associated with laser hair removal and that the side effect of erythema was lessened with PSF vs. without PSF standard laser treatment.

In terms of fundamental technology and intended use, the device (K071469), which was utilized in the clinical study, is essentially the same as the device (K072925), which is subject of this 510(k) submission. Therefore, this clinical study is relevant to this 510(k) submission and, Candela - Inolase has concluded that no new safety or efficacy issues have been raised.
