Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of skin lesions is the Claritag designed to treat, and how does it work?
The Claritag is specifically designed for the removal of skin tags and other benign skin lesions through cryotherapy. It operates by freezing the targeted tissue, inducing controlled destruction via rapid cell death. This non-invasive technique is ideal for outpatient clinical settings where trained professionals can apply it safely.
Is the Claritag intended for single-use only, and if so, why?
Yes, the Claritag is supplied as a single-use device. This design ensures patient safety by preventing cross-contamination between uses, as well as maintaining consistent performance and sterility standards for each procedure.
Since the Claritag is non-sterile, how should it be handled and stored before use?
The Claritag is non-sterile, so it must be handled and stored according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to prevent contamination. It should be kept in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures until ready for use. Sterilization procedures (e.g., autoclaving or chemical sterilization) are not applicable, as it is intended for single-use only.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance, and what does this mean for clinicians?
The Claritag received FDA clearance through a 510(k) Traditional Review under the General, Plastic Surgery advisory committee, with a decision of Substantially Equivalent (SESE). This means the device was deemed comparable to a legally marketed predicate device for cryosurgical applications, ensuring it meets FDA safety and effectiveness standards for its intended use in clinical settings.
Are there different sizes or models of the Claritag, and if so, how do they differ?
The provided data lists multiple FEI numbers (e.g., 3002987034, 3010242262), which typically correspond to different product codes (GEH) and potentially varying sizes or configurations of the Claritag. While exact specifications (e.g., probe diameter, freezing capacity) aren’t detailed here, these identifiers suggest the device may come in multiple variants to accommodate different lesion sizes or clinical preferences. For precise sizing, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or catalog.
