Treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions, including: port wine stains, hemangiomas, facial, truncal and leg telangiectasias, rosacea, angiomas and spider angiomas, poikiloderma of civatte, leg veins and venous malformations, The HR650 and HR690 IPL applicators are indicated for the removal of unwanted hair and to effect stable long-term or permanent hair reduction for skin types I-IV. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6. 9. and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regimen. # Device Description The Venus Versa System is comprised of a console (controller/CPU) and applicators that deliver Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) optical energy to the treatment area. Four IPL handpieces (SR515, SR580, HR650, HR690) are included with the device system. The Versa device provides individual adjustment of light fluency and pulse duration, and has integrated skin cooling features. Using the IPL applicators, the light energy delivered to the patient's skin is used to treat various conditions via the mechanism of selective photothermolysis. # Technological Characteristics The Venus Versa System has similar technological characteristics to its predicates. All three devices are IPL systems requlated under 21 CFR 878.4810 as class II devices. The Versa is a multi-application system that allows delivery of IPL enerqy, similar to its predicates. The Versa and the predicate devices are each designed as a system console with a user interface and applicator(s) indicated for the desired treatment effects. The technological characteristics of the Venus Versa as a system and when used for each of the three proposed indications (vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, hair removal/reduction) are similar to the corresponding parameters of the predicate devices. The technological differences between the Venus Versa and its predicates are minor, including some differences in terms of the spot size, frequency, and pulse duration. However, the kev parameters of the Versa affecting treatment outcomes (i.e., IPL wavelengths, fluence levels) are the same or encompassed within the range of the predicate devices. In addition, each of the systems utilizes a light quide and cooling system in delivering treatment.

Therefore, the Venus Versa System presents similar technological characteristics as its predicates, in support of substantial equivalence. #### Performance Data and Standards The performance of the Venus Versa has been demonstrated in testing. Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety testing was conducted per AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-57. All results were passing. In addition, the patient contacting materials are biocompatible per ISO 10993-5. Cleaning and disinfection validation testing has also been completed. The Venus Versa System also underwent software validation and results demonstrate that the software was appropriate for release. Bench testing further confirmed that the energy outputs of the Versa met specifications. # Substantial Equivalence The Venus Versa has the same intended use and similar indications for use, technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the Venus Versa and its predicate devices do not raise any new or different issues of safety or effectiveness, given that the key energy parameters are the same or similar for the devices. #### Conclusions The tests outlined above demonstrate that the device performs as intended for the indicated uses of each applicator. Minor differences between the subject and predicate devices do not present any new or different types of safety or effectiveness questions, as confirmed by device performance evaluations. In sum, the Venus Versa System is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
