## Indications for Use

The Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device is intended for use as a skin cooling device to minimize pain and thermal injury during laser and dermatological treatments. Alternative uses include skin cooling as a local anesthetic for procedures that induce minor local discomfort. The Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device can also provide localized thermal therapy (hot or cold) to minimize pain for post traumatic and / or post surgical pain and to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains and muscle spasms. The optional massage function can also be used for the relief of minor muscle aches, pain, and spasm and for the improvement in local circulation and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. The Juniper Medical Coupling Gels 400 and 600 facilitate thermal contact of Juniper Dermal Cooling Devices with a patient's skin by mitigating minor variances in device-toskin contact.

## Device Story

The Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device is a thermoelectric system providing controlled heating or cooling to a treatment site, with an optional electrically powered vibration/massage function. It is used in clinical settings to manage pain and thermal injury during dermatological procedures or for therapeutic relief of muscle aches and spasms. The device includes coupling gels (400 and 600) to ensure thermal contact between the applicator and the patient's skin. Operators (clinicians) apply the device to the skin surface; the thermal output provides immediate cooling or heating to modulate pain or tissue temperature. The massage function is used to improve local circulation and temporarily reduce cellulite appearance. The device benefits patients by reducing discomfort during laser treatments and providing non-pharmacological pain relief for post-surgical or post-traumatic conditions.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing confirmed the system performs in an equivalent manner to predicate devices and that coupling gels are safe for skin application.

## Technological Characteristics

Thermoelectric cooling/heating system; electrically powered vibration for massage. Includes coupling gels for thermal interface. Device is a powered surgical/therapeutic instrument.

## Regulatory Identification

A water circulating hot or cold pack is a device intended for medical purposes that operates by pumping heated or chilled water through a plastic bag and that provides hot or cold therapy for body surfaces.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 890.9.

## Predicate Devices

- Juniper Cooling Device ([K060407](/device/K060407.md))
- Juniper Cooling Device XTRA ([K063715](/device/K063715.md))
- MediSeb's ElfCare thermal therapy device ([K023231](/device/K023231.md))

#### SECTION 5. 510(K) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

## INDICATION FOR USE:

The Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device is intended for use as a skin cooling device to minimize pain and thermal injury during laser and dermatological treatments. Alternative uses include skin cooling as a local anesthetic for procedures that induce minor local discomfort. The Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device can also provide localized thermal therapy (hot or cold) to minimize pain for post traumatic and / or post surgical pain and to temporarily relieve minor aches and pains and muscle spasms. The optional massage function can also be used for the relief of minor muscle aches, pain, and spasm and for the improvement in local circulation and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

The Juniper Medical Coupling Gels 400 and 600 facilitate thermal contact of Juniper Dermal Cooling Devices with a patient's skin by mitigating minor variances in device-toskin contact.

### TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device is a thermoelectric cooling and heating device that applies controlled cooling or heating to a treatment site. The optional massage feature uses electrically powered vibration.

### PERFORMANCE DATA:

Testing confirms that the Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device system can be used in an equivalent manner to the predicate devices. The Juniper Medical Coupling Gels 400 and 600 can be safely applied to the skin prior to use with Juniper Dermal Cooling Devices.

# BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

The indications for use for the Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device system are the same as for the predicate devices cited in this application. A technological comparison and bench testing demonstrate that the Juniper CLN1 Dermal Cooling Device system and the Juniper Medical Coupling Gels 400 and 600 are functionally equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{3}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Mr. Donald V. Johnson

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
