Intended Use
Strialite is an over-the-counter device indicated for use in the temporary reduction of redness in striae rubra (red stretch marks). Strialite does not remove the stretch marks but may improve their appearance.
Device Story
Strialite is a handheld, compact, OTC phototherapy/thermal device for home use by adults. It treats striae rubra (red stretch marks) on the abdomen, breasts, back, hips, and thighs. The device features an array of 35 red LEDs (633 nm ± 5nm) and a heating element that reaches up to 40°C (105°F). The user applies the device directly to the skin for 20-minute sessions, twice weekly for at least four weeks. The combination of red light and heat stimulates the skin at the cellular level to repair damaged collagen and increase local circulation, thereby reducing the visible redness of stretch marks. The device includes an over-temperature sensor for safety, shutting off if the plate exceeds 41°C. The user monitors the appearance of their stretch marks to assess improvement. The device is non-sterile and reusable.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study (n=30) assessed temporary reduction of redness in striae rubra over 8 treatments/4 weeks. Primary endpoint: self-assessed improvement of at least 2 grades on a 1-10 scale; 16/30 subjects reported this improvement. Secondary endpoint: blinded photographic assessment identified 18/30 subjects with improvement. No adverse effects reported. Usability study (n=40) per AAMI ANSI IEC 62366:2007 showed 97.5% comprehension of instructions and 95% correct demonstration of critical use steps. Self-selection study (n=41) confirmed users could correctly identify device purpose and suitability from labeling.
Technological Characteristics
Handheld LED/thermal device. Materials: anodized aluminum and plastic. Light source: 35 red LEDs (633 nm ± 5nm). Thermal: heating element (max 40°C). Safety: over-temperature sensor (shuts off at >41°C). Power: corded. Standards: AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-57, IEC 60601-1-2. No software used.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults under 50 years of age for the temporary reduction of redness in striae rubra (red stretch marks).

## 6. Device Description
The Strialite is an over the counter (OTC) device utilizing a combination of light emitting diode (LED) lights and a heating element as a phototherapy/thermal treatment for the end users' stretch marks (striae). It is a hand-held, compact, lightweight device, designed to specifically treat and reduce the visible appearance of an individual's red stretch marks. A stretch mark is a defect in the skin caused by damaged collagen that occurs from rapid skin stretching, that may have a red appearance. The red LED light and heat work together to stimulate the skin at the cellular level to produce and repair collagen. As the damaged collagen tissue is gradually replaced, over time the appearance of the stretch mark is reduced. Typical areas for treatment are the abdomen, breasts, back, hips, and thighs. The recommended treatment schedule is two (2) 20-minute sessions a week for at least four (4) weeks. Strialite is intended for home use by adults under the age of 50 years.
The Strialite device consists of a housing enclosure with an ergonomic handle, electronic circuit boards, treatment plate with a specific array of LED lights, thermal heating elements that generate temperature up to 105 degree F (40 degree C), touch control power button (On/Off), and a power cord. The flat LED panel, consisting of thirty-five (35) visible red LEDs in the 633 nm (±5nm) spectrum, is located on the base of the device, and directly contacts the area of skin to be treated. The device is provided non-sterile and reusable.
## 7. Indications for Use Statement
Strialite is an over-the-counter device indicated for use in the temporary reduction of redness in striae rubra (red stretch marks). Strialite does not remove the stretch marks but may improve their appearance.
### 8. Substantial Equivalence Discussion
As shown in Table 5A below, Strialite has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate device, the Candela V Beam, and therefore is substantial equivalent to the predicate device.

Table 5B – Summary of Non-clinical Performance Testing
{7}------------------------------------------------
## 10. Clinical Performance Data
A clinical study was conducted to assess the effect of Strialite on the temporary reduction of redness of the subjects' red stretch marks. Thirty of the 33 subjects enrolled completed the full series of 8 treatments over 4 weeks. Sixteen out of 30 subjects reported, upon selfassessment, improvement of the severity of the redness of their stretch marks of at least 2 grades when graded on a scale of 1 to 10 from baseline to post-treatment. As a secondary endpoint blinded photographic assessment was performed and the blinded evaluation identified 18 of the 30 subjects as demonstrating improvement. Two subjects that selfassessed as having the worst appearing lesions (grade 10) did not show any improvement throughout the study. No adverse effects were observed or reported during the study.
As the Strialite is for OTC use, a usability study, designed in accordance with AAMI ANSI IEC 62366:2007, assessed whether subjects, after reading the labeling provided with the Strialite, were able to properly use the device without assistance. The usability test consisted of two components:
- Demonstrating the ability to read and comprehend the information in the Instructions 1) for Use and Quick Start Guide, based on survey questions asked by an interviewer.
- 2) Demonstrating correct simulated use of the device by following the Instructions for Use and Quick Start Guide, as observed and recorded by the trained interviewer.
The study showed that 39 of 40 (97.5%) subjects were able to read and comprehend the information in the Instructions for Use manual, and that 38 of 40 (95.0%) subjects were able to correctly demonstrate the six critical steps in the use of the Strialite.
In addition, a Self-selection study was performed with forty-one (41) subjects who were each given the device carton labeling to read in private. When interviewed, all responders correctly determined from the carton labeling that the device is used for stretch marks, and all but one correctly self-selected.
### 11. Statement of Substantial Equivalence
By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when it has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device; or the device has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but it can be demonstrated that the differences do not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.
Strialite is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Candela V Beam Pulse Dye Laser, in that they both have the same intended use and share similar technological characteristics and principles of operation. Both devices are intended for the same use which is the treatment of striae rubra (red stretch marks) by combining heat and light to reduce the redness of the stretch mark. It has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the differences between the Strialite and the Candela V Beam predicate device do not raise new questions regarding Strialite's safety and effectiveness. The Strialite is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
