LONDON--Royal Philips NV (PHIA.AE) has received U.S. Food and
Drug Administration clearance to market its Philips BlueControl, a
wearable light therapy device to treat mild psoriasis at home.
The Dutch health-technology company obtained Europe's CE marking
for the device in 2015 and has been selling it in European
countries such as Germany and the U.K.
Following the FDA clearance, Philips said it would start talking
with dermatologists and patient support groups in the U.S. and
prepare for the commercial launch of BlueControl there in early
2018.
