# Device Description
The BioPhotas Celluma RESTORE system uses visible red light (640nm) and is indicated to treat Androgenetic Alopecia and promote hair growth in males who have Norwood- Hamilton Classifications of IIa - V patterns of hair loss and to treat Androgenetic Alopecia and promote hair growth in females who have Ludwig-Savin Scale I-1 to I-4, II-1, II-2 or frontal patterns of hair loss; both with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I - IV.
In addition, the Biophotas Celluma RESTORE is a portable, therapeutic device whose purpose is to provide even, cool, narrow-band wavelengths of polychromatic light (blue, 465nm red, 640nm and Near infra-red, 880nm) produced by super-luminous LEDs (light emitting diodes) to treat a variety of skin and musculoskeletal conditions as previously cleared under K122237, K131113, K152280 and K171323.
The system comprises of a flexible, shape-taking frame upon which is mounted an array of LEDs, this allows the device to be contoured to the treatment area. The LEDs are embedded within a biocompatible foam covering that holds a transparent polycarbonate cover recessed within it. The biocompatibility nature of allows the device to be placed in contact with the skin. Nevertheless, the design of the device provides for maintaining a small distance between the surface of the skin and the surface of the device.
The flexible LED panel is permanently connected by a three-foot long cable attached to a control panel that contains the circuitry and software that controls the device. The control panel contains several push buttons beneath a sealed cover. A power button that switches the device ON/OFF, a mode button that allows the user to select from 3 preprogrammed treatment modes "Hair", "Wrinkles", and "Aches and Pains", and a Start button that activates the desired treatment mode. The control panel receives its power from a separate cable that connects via an AC adaptor for 110-220 Volts to a standard U.S. electrical power outlet. The control panel contains an automatic shut-off safety feature.

The RESTORE meets established requirements for overall design, electrical safety, software validation and usability studies confirming that the design outputs meet design input requirements and established specifications.
The Biophotas Celluma RESTORE successfully passed testing per internal verification/validation requirements and national/international standards illustrated below:
{10}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/10/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for "biophotas". The logo consists of a stylized graphic to the left of the word "biophotas". The graphic is a blue, star-like shape made up of many small dots. The word "bio" is in blue, and the word "photas" is in green.
- . Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1
- EMC testing per IEC 60601-1-2 ●
- Software validation per IEC 62304 and the FDA Guidance document .
- . Usability Study per IEC 62366.
The Biophotas Celluma RESTORE, and the predicate device have satisfied product safety testing to the IEC 60601-1 standard, and the electromagnetic safety testing to the IEC 60601-1-2 standard.
Since the Biophotas Celluma does not utilize laser diodes it is exempt from testing to IEC 60825-1 Safety of laser products - Part 1: Equipment classification and requirements.
#### Differences
There are no key differences between the Biophotas Celluma RESTORE and predicate device Revian RED K173729.
#### Other Non-Clinical Performance testing
To demonstrate safety and effectiveness and substantial equivalence the Biophotas Celluma RESTORE system has undergone a number of non-clinical performance tests in line with recognized standards in terms of general requirements, biocompatibility, electrical safety and software.
The following non-clinical performance data is provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
#### Biocompatibility
The Biophotas Celluma RESTORE systems hardware is identical to the previously cleared versions (K122237, K131113, K152280 and K171323) in terms of the material, manufacturing, and tissue contact type and duration. There is no change in biocompatibility since the previously cleared versions. Therefore, biocompatibility test data is not needed in this submission.
#### Software verification and validation testing
In accordance with IEC 62304: 2006 Medical device Software – software life cycle process Biophotas Inc has allocated a software safety classification of Class A for the LED system. The software has also been classified using the FDA level of concern matrix and the level of concern for the device software is: Minor.

Image /page/11/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for biophotas. The logo consists of a stylized image to the left and the word "biophotas" to the right. The stylized image is a blue circular pattern with lines extending outward. The word "biophotas" is written in a sans-serif font, with the "bio" portion in blue and the "photas" portion in green.
#### Labelling
The Biophotas Celluma RESTORE has been assessed against IEC 62366:2015 Medical devices Application of usability engineering to medical devices.
A usability and label comprehension study was conducted with 25 test subjects. Each test subject was provided with the product packaging and the User's Manual and device and allowed to read the labeling provided and interact with the product.
Following the subject's review of the User Manual, packaging, and the device the subject was asked a series of questions to address comprehension and understanding of the User Manual.
No new use errors, hazards, hazardous situations, or hazard-related use scenarios were discovered. Further improvement of the user interface design as it relates to safety was deemed unnecessary and there were no suggested revisions to the version of the user manual tested.
#### Statement of Substantial Equivalence:
513(i) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360c(i) states that for substantial equivalence a proposed device is required to have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate device. Where there are differences in technological characteristics, these can be negated by appropriate clinical or scientific data demonstrating that the proposed device is as safe and effective as the predicate device, and that the proposed device does not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device for the same intended use.
Biophotas has demonstrated that the RESTORE device has the same intended use as the predicate device, employs identical technological characteristics and is as safe and effective as the predicate K173729 Revian Red.
Therefore, the Biophotas RESTORE, as designed, and manufactured, has been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate Revian Red System K173729.
