## Intended Use

Intended to emit energy in the red and infrared region of the spectrum for use in dermatology for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles. Indicated as an over-the-counter phototherapy device for the treatment of mild to moderate acne.

## Device Story

dpl® Nüve is a lightweight, handheld LED phototherapy device with interchangeable heads. Blue LED head (415 nm) treats mild to moderate inflammatory acne; red (625 nm) and purple/infrared (830 nm) heads treat periorbital wrinkles. Device includes internal electronics, cooling fan, and automatic shut-off safety feature. Operated by patient in home setting. Light energy application targets skin tissue to reduce wrinkles and treat acne. Safety and effectiveness established via nonclinical testing.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device safety demonstrated through compliance with IEC 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2, and EN 60601-2-22 standards. Biocompatibility of patient contact materials confirmed via ISO 10993 testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Handheld LED device with interchangeable heads. Wavelengths: 415 nm (blue), 625 nm (red), 830 nm (infrared). Features internal cooling fan and automatic shut-off safety mechanism. Complies with IEC 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2, and EN 60601-2-22. Patient contact materials tested per ISO 10993.

## Regulatory Identification

Substantial Equivalence:

Infrared lamp OHS: light-based over-the-counter wrinkle reduction GEX: powered laser surgical instrument (for acne treatment)

Intended to emit energy in the red and infrared region of the spectrum for use in dermatology for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles. Indicated as an over-the-counter phototherapy device for the treatment of mild to moderate acne.

The dpl® Nüve is a lightweight, handheld, light emitting diode (LED) device with interchangeable heads which emit light energy. A blue LED head in the 415 nm spectrum is used in treatment for mild to moderate inflammatory acne. A red head at 625 nm and a purple head (infrared) in the 830 nm spectrum are used in combination for reduction of periorbital wrinkles. The handle of the device contains the electronics of the device including a fan for cooling and an automatic shut-off safety feature

The device is substantially equivalent in function and technology To the Omnilux New U for periorbital wrinkle treatment and the Tanda Skin Care product for treatment of acne. Conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests demonstrate that the

device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices.

Test Data:

The dpl® Nüve has been demonstrated safe by testing and meeting IEC 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2, and EN 60601-2-22. Patient contact materials are demonstrated safe under ISO 10993 testing. The dpl® Nüve does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Ward:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
