FDA status & indication	FDA ClearedK211639, K222556, K233604 Read FDA indication wording “The BTL-785W device has the following indications for use: The BTL-785W with BTL-785-1 applicator is intended to provide heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for selected medical conditions such as temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation. The BTL-785-1-4 massage device is intended to provide a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. The BTL-785W with BTL-785-2 applicator is indicated to provide heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for selected medical conditions such as temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation. The BTL-785W with BTL-785-3 applicator is intended to provide heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for selected medical conditions such as temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation. The BTL-785W with BTL-785-4 applicator used with tips BTL-785-4-1, BTL-785-4-2, BTL-785-4-5 and BTL-785-4-6 is indicated for use in dermatological and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. The Applicator BTL-785-4 of BTL-785W device used with tips BTL-785-4-3, BTL-785-4-4, BTL-785-4-7 and BTL-785-4-8 is intended for dermatological procedures requiring fractional treatment of the skin. At higher energy levels greater than 62 mJ/pin, use of the BTL-785-4 applicator is limited to Skin Types IIV. The BTL-785W with BTL-785-7 hands-free applicator used with BTL-785-7-1, BTL-785-7-2, BTL-785- 7-3, BTL-785-7-4, BTL-785-7-5 and BTL-785-7-6 single-use electrodes is intended to provide heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for selected medical conditions such as temporary relief of pain, muscle spasms, and increase in local circulation.”	FDA ClearedK173503, K200545 Read FDA indication wording “The Modified Legend+™ system is intended for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin when using VoluDerm Energy (Applicator VO). It is also intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for the non-invasive treatment of mild to moderate facial wrinkles and rhytides when using TriPollar RF Energy (Applicators 1-3). Modified Device Description Pollogen Ltd’s modified Legend+™system delivers bipolar radiofrequency (RF) electrical current to the skin surface for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin. The physician can control the parameters of the device through a user interface. The system consists of: - Main Unit (includes the Controller); - Control Panel (User Interface); - RF Generator; - VO (VoluDerm) Treatment Applicator - Disposable tips; gen12, gen36 & gen36L - Treatment Applicators 1-3 (TriPollar); - Foot Switch; - Patient-Controlled Manual Switch. The device generates RF energy, which is applied to the skin. The VO (VoluDerm Energy) treatment applicator applies pulses of bipolar RF energy that flows between electrodes to create micro-ablation points on the skin via an array of multi-electrode pins. The TriPollar treatment Applicators 1-3 apply bipolar RF energy that flows between electrodes on the skin. The three applicators differ in size and configuration and are indicated for treatment of various size facial areas. The operator can adjust treatment parameters, such as the power level and treatment time from the user interface on the Main Unit. The Applicator is applied with a little pressure and a rubbing/massaging technique (linear, circular, etc., depending on the area). The applicator should be moved continuously on the skin. No active cooling of the electrodes or the skin is required.”
