Intended Use

Indications for use for Fitzpatrick skin types (I to V). The Chromolite™ EP System is intended for use in aesthetic and cosmetic applications requiring selective photothermolysis (photocoagulation or coagulation) and hemostatis of soft tissue in the medical specialities of plastic surgery and dermatology as follows:- Indications for use for Fitzpatrick skin types (I to V). - The treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris . - The treatment of benign pigmented epidermal lesions including dyschromia, hyper-. pigmentation, melasma, ephelides (freckles) - The treatment of cutancous lesions including warts,scars, and striae. . - The treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesioins, including port wine stains, . hemamangiomas, facial, truncal, and leg telangicctasias,erythema of rosacea,angiomas, and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of civatte, leg veins and venous malformations. - The removal of unwanted hair and to effect stable long-term or permanent hair reduction. . 1 = Permanent hair reduction is defined as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regimen.

Device Story

Chromolite™ EP is an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system using xenon flashlamp technology; emits light at 390nm–1200nm via 50mm x 15mm waveguide; repetition rate up to 0.5Hz. Used in plastic surgery and dermatology clinics by physicians for selective photothermolysis, photocoagulation, and hemostasis of soft tissue. Device transforms electrical energy into pulsed light output; provider applies light to target tissue to achieve therapeutic effects (e.g., lesion coagulation, hair reduction). Output allows visual assessment of tissue response by clinician to guide treatment parameters. Benefits include non-invasive management of vascular/pigmented lesions, acne, and hair reduction.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on hardware and software modifications to a previously cleared predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Xenon flashlamp-based IPL system; 390nm–1200nm spectral output; 50mm x 15mm waveguide; 0.5Hz repetition rate. Device is a hardware and software modification of the predicate. Technical details regarding specific materials or software architecture are not provided.

Indications for Use

Indicated for Fitzpatrick skin types I-V. Used for treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris; benign pigmented epidermal lesions (dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, melasma, ephelides); cutaneous lesions (warts, scars, striae); benign cutaneous vascular lesions (port wine stains, hemangiomas, telangiectasias, rosacea, angiomas, poikiloderma of civatte, leg veins, venous malformations); and removal of unwanted hair/permanent hair reduction.

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.
