It emits light in the 400-1200nm range. The operator manually sets power and delivery time via the main console. The device is used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. By combining light therapy with pneumatic suction, the device targets vascular/pigmented lesions, reduces hair, and treats acne. The output is controlled by the clinician to achieve therapeutic effects on the skin, aiding in the management of dermatological conditions. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. The manufacturer conducted product testing to evaluate conformance to specifications, confirming the system met all established requirements. ## Technological Characteristics Portable tabletop IPL system; non-coherent light source (400-1200nm); photopneumatic delivery handpiece; manual operator control for power and pulse duration; materials are biocompatible and previously cleared in similar devices. ## 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 - Aesthera Photopneumatic PPx™ System ([K062048](/device/K062048.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
