Intended Use
MMSphere™is an OTC, multi-use Light Therapy Device using LED light therapy technology for the treatment of mild to moderate wrinkles and/or acne.
Device Story
MMSphere™ is an OTC LED light therapy device for treating mild to moderate acne and wrinkles. Device utilizes red (625nm), blue (465nm), and amber (605nm) light. Operated by the user in a home setting, the device can be used as a handheld unit or placed on a countertop. Users wear provided goggles during treatment. Device features a control knob for power and setting selection. Output is light energy delivered to the skin. Intended to improve skin condition through regular 20-minute sessions. Benefits include non-invasive, self-administered light therapy for cosmetic and dermatological concerns.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Device conformity demonstrated via electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (EN 60601-1-2), photobiological safety (IEC 62471), and battery safety (IEC 62133-2). A usability study with 35 subjects evaluated device operation (powering on/off, changing settings, recharging). Usability findings identified issues with knob resistance and charging port accessibility.
Technological Characteristics
LED-based light therapy system emitting red (625nm), blue (465nm), and amber (605nm) light. Form factor supports both handheld and stationary (countertop) use. Powered by internal secondary lithium cells. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-57, and IEC 62471 standards. Connectivity includes a charging port for battery maintenance.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the treatment of wrinkles and/or mild to moderate acne in patients using the device for 20-minute sessions, three to seven times per week.

# Conclusion
After an analysis of the safety indications, intended uses, performance, design materials, power output, technological characteristics, treatment areas, and treatment regimes, the Sponsor believes that no significant differences exist between the new device and the predicate devices and no new issues of safety or effectiveness are raised. Therefore substantial equivalency has been demonstrated.
### 7. Performance Testing
Bench performance testing was undertaken to demonstrate that the MMSphere™is safe and effective and substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The following are applicable consensus standards.

{7}------------------------------------------------
#### Non-Clinical Testing 8.
This device is in conformity with IEC 60601 electrical safety testing, IEC 60601 EMC testing and IEC 62471 photobiological safety testing.
## Usability Testing
35 subjects identified with wrinkles and/or acne were given the device, the user manual and a charging cable. They were asked to turn the device on and off, change the device settings, and demonstrate how to recharge the device. After this exercise, they were asked to complete a usability survey list of 10 questions indicating how easy it was to follow instructions and use the device.
Out of 35 users participating in the Usability Study:
## Addressing Usability Findings
During the course of administering the Usability Test, two specific concerns were discovered:
- . The design of the knob that controls the ON and OFF positions as well as the light settings were found to be too tight to turn comfortably by the operator.
- The second concern was discovered when the operators were asked to charge . the device. The access port to plug in the charging cable on the base of the device was found to be too recessed and not easily identifiable or accessible.
{8}------------------------------------------------
### 9. Substantial Equivalence
Based upon the analysis of the overall performance characteristics the MMSphere™ device has the same intended use as the predicate devices. The device also has similar technological characteristics to the predicate devices. The differences between the devices do not pose any safety risks to the user.
We have shown by the data contained in this 510(k) submission that the Sponsor has found no significant differences between the MMSphere™ and the predicate devices
