Intended Use

The CLARO is indicated for the treatment of individual acne pimples in persons with mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

Device Story

Portable handheld intense pulse light (IPL) device; rechargeable battery powered. Uses Xenon flash lamp to deliver light pulses (400-1100 nm wavelength; 1ms duration; 6 J/cm2 fluence; 1cm2 spot size). Intended for OTC home use by patients for treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Device applies heat and light to individual pimples. Patient operates device by following instructions in User's Guide. Benefit includes self-administered treatment of inflammatory acne.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing confirmed electrical, mechanical, and output characteristics are identical to the predicate. Clinical evidence consists of three usability studies and two self-selection studies (total N=245 across studies). Primary endpoints were correct self-selection and correct device operation by lay users. Results showed up to 100% correct operation and 95-98.3% correct self-selection with final labeling.

### 4. Device Description

The CLARO is a portable handheld intense pulse light (IPL) device powered by a rechargeable battery. The CLARO uses a Xenon flash lamp which delivers pulses of light with a wavelength range from 400-1100 nm at Imsec pulse duration and a fluence of 6 J/cm2. The spot size of the CLARO is 1cm2.

#### 5. Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The CLARO which is the subject of this 510(k) is identical in all technological respects to the CLARO that was cleared for prescription home use in K080638. This application is for OTC clearance of the same device. The CLARO treats acne using both heat and light in exactly the same way as the CLARO cleared in K080638.

The OTC indication for use was based on the Zeno, ThermaClear, Tanda and Clear-U predicate devices that are cleared for OTC treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

In conclusion, the CLARO shares identical technological characteristics with the CLARO cleared in K080638 and indications for use with the Zeno, ThermaClear, Tanda and Clear-U and is therefore substantially equivalent to the other identified predicate devices.

#### 6. Indications for Use

The CLARO is indicated for the treatment of individual acne pimples in persons with mild to moderate inflammatory acne.

#### 7. Performance Data

The CLARO is identical in electrical, mechanical and output characteristics to the already cleared CLARO for prescription use and complies with IEC 60601-1-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.

Revisions made to the labeling for OTC use were tested in three usability studies and two self-selection studies. The performance data supplied in this 510(k) demonstrated that the vast majority of study participants were able to properly self-select themselves using the box labeling and that study participants were able to properly use the device by reading the instructions in the User's Guide without any assistance.

The first self-selection study included 61 subjects. 98.3% of participants were able to properly self-select themselves using the box labeling. Fifty nine of these subjects also participated in the usability study which evauated if subjects were able to correctly use the device by reading the instructions in the User's Guide. Results showed that overall, 86.4% of the study participants were able to properly use the device, and that 97.2% with the labeling submitted for clearance were able to correctly use the device.

The second self-selection and usability study was conducted with 165 subjects which tested changes to the labeling. The study demonstrated that 95% of the

{2}------------------------------------------------

K090744 pg 3 of 3

participants could correctly self-select themselves. Different iterations of the labeling were tested regarding correct device operation and 93% of subjects correctly used the CLARO, based on the final revision of the labeling.

A third usability study was conducted to test additional changes to the labeling. Nineteen subjects participated. 100% of participants correctly operated the CLARO with the final version of the User's Guide.

The nonclinical tests demonstrate that the CLARO is as safe, as effective, and performs at least as safety and effectively as the legally marketed predicate devices.
