Indications for Use
The Philips BlueControl is intended to emit energy in the spectrum, is generally indicated to treat dermatological conditions and specifically indicated to treat mild psoriasis vulgaris.
Device Story
Philips BlueControl is a rechargeable, battery-operated, wearable device for home use by patients to treat mild psoriasis vulgaris. It delivers blue light (452 nm) to the skin via 40 LEDs. The device includes a fixation strap for positioning on the treatment area. Operation involves an on/off button and an infrared sensor that detects skin presence and monitors skin temperature to ensure safety. The device provides visual (LED colors) and audio (beeps) feedback regarding treatment status, battery level, and overheating (auto-shutoff at 51°C or skin >43°C). Treatment consists of a 30-minute session per area, with a regimen of daily treatments for 4 weeks followed by 3 times weekly for 8 weeks. The device benefits patients by providing a wearable, home-based therapeutic option for managing psoriasis symptoms, with clinical evidence showing significant improvement in plaque severity (LPASI scores) compared to control.
Clinical Evidence
Two clinical studies (N=50 total) conducted per ISO 14155. One study (n=23) evaluated blue light treatment (30 min/day) for 12 weeks. Primary endpoint: change from baseline (CfB) of Local Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (LPASI) at week 12. Results showed significant improvement in treated plaques vs. control (ΔCfB: -0.92 ± 1.10, p=0.0005). Mean change from baseline to week 12 was -2.38 in treated plaques vs -1.46 in control. No serious device-related adverse events reported; expected hyperpigmentation observed.
Indicated for adult patients with mild psoriasis vulgaris for treatment of dermatological conditions.

{10}------------------------------------------------
### Other Bench Testing
Thermal safety and reliability testing has also been conducted to verify the risk controls implemented for the Philips BlueControl are effective to mitigate the hazards identified.
## Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software documentation consistent with moderate level of concern was submitted in this 510(k). System validation testing presented in this 510(k) demonstrated that all software requirement specifications are met and all software hazards have been mitigated to acceptable risk levels.
# Clinical Studies
To support the proposed indication for use, two clinical studies of N=50 have been performed in Europe per ISO 14155: Clinical investigation of medical devices for human subjects -- Good clinical practice. In both studies, psoriasis severity was evaluated using the Local Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (LPASI), a modified version of the validated PASI. No serious adverse events were considered related to any of the studied treatment regimen.
One clinical study was conducted on 23 enrolled subjects who received blue light treatment at 200 mW/cm2 setting for their mild plaque psoriasis. The patients were treated with blue light for 30 minutes per plague per treatment for 12 weeks followed by a 4-week follow up period without treatment. During the full course of 12-week treatment, the 30-minute blue light treatment was performed daily (5 to 7 treatments per week) for the first 4 weeks, followed by 8 weeks with 3 treatments per week. The plaque severity was evaluated using the LPASI. The primary endpoint, change from baseline (CfB) of the LPASI at week 12, revealed a significant improvement of the treated compared to the control plaques (△CfB: -0.92 ± 1.10, p = 0.0005, t test; p = 0.0006, Wilcoxon signed-rank test; mean 95% CI –1.38, –0.45). The mean change from baseline to week 12 was -2.38 (-3.02 to -1.73) in the treated plaque and -1.46 (-2.13 to -0.79) in the control plaque. All 16 adverse events observed during the study were evaluated. No serious adverse events were reported. None of the adverse events were device-related or treatment-related. The hyperpigmentation (tanning) of the treated skin was expected and reported by some of the study participants. The tanning effect reduced within a few days after completion of the treatment cvcle. No other device-related adverse effects of the device are observed.
The results of these studies demonstrate the 12-week treatment cycle of BlueControl reduces the severity of mild psoriasis vulgaris.
# VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The Philips BlueControl and its predicates emit energy in the blue region of the light spectrum to treat dermatological conditions. The performance achieved by these devices uses nearly identical power intensities and wavelengths. Both the Philips BlueControl and the primary predicate are intended to be placed directly on the skin to provide the light energy. The primary predicate device is cleared for over-the- counter home use, and the
{11}------------------------------------------------
Philips BlueControl is a prescription home use device. The intended patient population for the Philips BlueControl fall within the intended use of the secondary predicate device, which is generally indicated to treat dermatological conditions for prescription use. To support the specific indication for use, the clinical testing performed using Philips BlueControl demonstrates its effectiveness for treatment of mild psoriasis vulgaris in adult patients.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
