The ReClear™ is specifically indicated to emit visible blue/violet light for treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. It also emits infrared light energy for the temporary increase in local blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness and relaxation of muscles; for muscle spasms, minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. ## Device Story ReClear™ is a phototherapy device emitting visible blue/violet light (405-420nm) and infrared light (850-900nm). Device includes light source, optical system for beam control, mechanical fixture for positioning, and timer. Used to treat moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris via blue/violet light and provide temporary relief of muscle/joint pain, stiffness, and spasms via infrared light. Operates by delivering light energy to skin treatment area. Healthcare providers use device to deliver targeted phototherapy; patient benefits include symptom relief for indicated conditions. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and comparison to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Emits visible blue/violet light (405-420nm) and infrared light (850-900nm). Fluency up to 200mW/cm². Includes optical system for spectral/beam control, mechanical fixture for adjustable positioning, and timer unit. Standalone device. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - iClear Phototherapy System ([K030338](/device/K030338.md)) - SuperNova/Acubeam ([K001179](/device/K001179.md)) - MedX 1000 series ([K020017](/device/K020017.md)) - TDP lamp ([K020851](/device/K020851.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

's MedX 1000 series (K 020017), C&H international Inc.'s TDP lamp (K020851), and Curelight's iClear Phototherapy System (K030338). #### Intended Use The ReClear™ Phototherapy System ("ReClear™") is intended to provide phototherapeutic light to the body. The ReClear™ is specifically indicated to emit visible blue/violet light for treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. It also emits infrared light energy for the temporary increase in local blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness and relaxation of muscles; for muscle spasms, minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. #### Technological Characteristics The ReClear emits in the range of visible blue/violet light (405-420nm) and infrared light (850 nm to 900 nm) with a fluency of light up to 200mW/cm². The system also includes an optical system for controlling spectra and beam parameters of the light source, a mechanical fixture for holding the light source at an adjustable distance and direction in relation to the skin treatment area, and a timer unit to control the duration of the emitted radiation. #### Substantial Equivalence The CureLight ReClear™ is a modification to the iClear™ that has already been cleared by FDA to provide phototherapeutic light to the body. The ReClear™ blue/violet light mode has the same characteristics and technology as CureLight's iClear (K030338). In contrast to the iClear that is intended to treat inflammatory acne lesions, the ReClear™ emits also infrared light that is intended to temporary increase in local blood circulation, temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness and relaxation of muscles; for muscle spasms, minor pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. The ReClear™ infrared mode is substantially equivalent to Light Force Therapy, Acubeam (K001179), and MedX Health Corp. , MedX 1000 series , (K020017) and C&H International Inc.'s TDP lamp (C&H international Inc.) ( K020851) all of which FDA has already cleared for the same intended use and indications. Thus, ReClear™ is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
