Device Name and Classification: | Trade Name: | Tända Skincare System | |-----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Common Name: | Tända Skincare System | | Classification Name: | Laser surgical instrument for use in general
and plastic surgery and in dermatology | | Classification Panel: | General & Plastic Surgery | | CFR Section: | 21 CFR §878.4810 | | Device Class: | Class II | | Device Code: | GEX | ### 4. Intended Use: The Tända Skincare System is intended as an over-the-counter phototherapy device for the treatment of mild to moderate acne. ## Substantial Equivalence: 5. The Tända Skincare System is substantially equivalent to: - Tända Skincare System, Pharos Life Corp, K070185, (Aug 21, . 2007) - Zeno, Tyrell Inc., K043377, (July 13, 2005) . {1}------------------------------------------------ K080591 B. 2c. f. #### 6. Device Description: The Tända Skincare System is a modular platform which uses light treatment heads combined with onboard electronic controls and intelligence designed to offer solid state light source treatments for mild to moderate inflammatory acne. ### 7. Comparison of Technological Differences: The intended use and technological characteristics of the Tända Skincare System are virtually identical to the combined intended uses and technological characteristics of the listed equivalent devices. Any differences between the Tända Skincare System and the equivalent devices have no significant influence on safety or effectiveness of the Tända product. #### 8. Additional Safety Data A clinical Study under the supervision of a Health Care practitioner (MD) was undertaken and shown to demonstrate that the Tända Skincare System can be used safely as a nonprescription device. The Tända Skincare System has undergone certification to IEC 60601-1. In addition, testing and analysis have demonstrated compliance to ISO 10993 (Biocompatibility). The ocular hazard level presented by unprotected exposure to the Tända Skincare light source was defermine by applying the calculations specified in Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents & Biological Exposure Indices of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Worldwide and the standards of the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection. The results indicate that the Tända Skincare System - does not pose a risk of retinal injury due to either the blue-light phototoxic effect, or the thermal damage mechanism. In addition, there are no negative additive effects from light exposure. {2}------------------------------------------------ Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 # NOV 1 4 2008 Pharos Life Corporation % Mr. Phil Cuscuna 11-380 Jamieson Parkway Cambridge, Ontario, Canada N3C 4N4 Rc: K080591 Trade/Device Name: Tända Skincare System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4810 Regulation Name: Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GEX Dated: November 12, 2008 Received: November 12, 2008 Dear Mr. Cascuna: 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 dcvices 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).
