Use environment
The device is intended to be used in the setting of healthcare organisations and their IT departments, which commonly are situated inside hospitals or other clinical facilities.
The device is intended to be integrated into the healthcare organisation's system by IT professionals.
Operating principle
The device is computational medical tool leveraging computer vision algorithms to process images of the epidermis, the dermis and its appendages, among other skin structures.
Body structures
The device is intended to use on the epidermis, its appendages (hair, hair follicle, sebaceous glands, apocrine sweat gland apparatus, eccrine sweat gland apparatus and nails) and associated mucous membranes (conjunctival, oral and genital), the dermis, the cutaneous vasculature and the subcutaneous tissue (subcutis).
In fact, the device is intended to use on visible skin structures. As such, it can only quantify clinical signs that are visible, and distribute the probabilities across ICD categories that are visible.
Explainability
For visual signs that can be quantified in terms of count and extent, the underlying models not only calculate a final value, such as the number of lesions, but also determine their locations within the image. Consequently, the output for these visual signs is accompanied by additional data, which varies depending on whether the quantification involves count or extent.
- Count. When a visual sign is quantifyed by counting, the device generates bounding boxes for each detected entity. These bounding boxes are defined by their x and y coordinates, as well as their height and width in pixels.
- Extent. When a visual sign is quantifyed by its extent, the device outputs a mask. This mask, which is the same size as the image, consists of 0's for pixels where the visual sign is absent and 1's for pixels where it is present.
The explainability output can be found with the explainabilityMedia key. Here is an example:

Medical conditions or diseases to be diagnosed, treated, monitored, alleviated, compensated or prevented
The device addresses medical conditions pertaining to ICD-11 code 14 - Diseases of the skin.

As mentioned, the image-based recognition processor provides an interpretative distribution of probabilities of visible ICD categories. In other words, the device does not provide a true positive or true negative for any specific condition, like diagnostic tests. On the contrary, the device provides the full list of ICD categories and the probability distributed across all the categories.
More information regarding ICD categories can be found in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision.
Indications for Use
The device provides two types of information to healthcare professionals:
- Severity Measurement: quantifiable data on the intensity, count and extent of clinical signs such as erythema, desquamation, and induration, among others
- Diagnostic Support: interpretative distribution representation of possible International Classification of Diseases (ICD) categories that might be represented in the pixels content of the image
Contraindications
- Skin structures located at a distance greater than 1 cm from the eye, beyond the optimal range for examination.
- Skin areas that are obscured from view, situated within skin folds or concealed in other manners, making them inaccessible for camera examination.
- Regions of the skin showcasing scars or fibrosis, indicative of past injuries or trauma.
- Skin structures exhibiting extensive damage, characterized by severe ulcerations or active bleeding.
- Skin structures contaminated with foreign substances, including but not limited to tattoos and creams.
- Skin structures situated at anatomically special sites, such as underneath the nails, requiring special attention.
- Portions of skin that are densely covered with hair, potentially obstructing the view and hindering examination.
Warnings - Understanding the Nature of Device Output
Critical Understanding:
The device outputs a probabilistic distribution across all ICD-11 categories related to skin diseases. Unlike diagnostic tests (e.g., COVID-19 or HIV tests) that provide binary results (positive/negative), the device provides an array of ICD categories with distributed probabilities.
| Device | Result type | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic test | Binary confirmation | Boolean (TRUE/FALSE) |
| Legit.Health Plus | Probabilistic distribution | Array of ICD categories and distributed probabilities |
The device cannot confirm the presence of a condition. This is a fundamental characteristic of its operation. The probabilistic distribution may be concentrated (leptokurtic) or dispersed (platykurtic) across categories, but the output is always a distribution across all ICD categories, never a binary result.
The device serves as a clinical decision support tool that complements healthcare professionals' expertise. Diagnostic decisions remain with the healthcare professional who combines clinical knowledge, patient history, laboratory results, and other sources of information, including the device output.
Low-prevalence sub-indication categories. For autoimmune dermatoses and genodermatoses, the device provides a probability ranking within its broader ICD-11 output distribution. These outputs are to be interpreted as supporting information within the healthcare professional's differential-diagnosis workup. Final diagnosis for these categories is a healthcare-professional determination based on clinical evaluation and histopathological, serological or genetic examination as per the current standard of care; the device's probability ranking is supporting information only.
Principles of operation
The device operates as a cloud-based API (Application Programming Interface) that processes digital images of skin structures using artificial intelligence algorithms, specifically deep learning technologies, to provide clinical decision support to healthcare professionals.
Core Operating Principles:
- Image Reception: The device receives digital images of skin structures through a REST API interface
- Image Quality Assessment: Images are first assessed for quality and domain appropriateness
- AI Processing: Validated images are processed through multiple deep learning models:
- Vision Transformer (ViT) architecture for ICD category recognition
- Object detection models for counting clinical signs
- Semantic segmentation models for extent measurement
- Image recognition models for intensity quantification
- Output Generation: The device generates structured output in HL7 FHIR® format containing:
- Probabilistic distribution across ICD-11 categories
- Quantitative measurements of clinical signs (intensity, count, extent)
Mode of Action:
The device's mode of action is purely informational and analytical. It does not have pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic effects. The device:
- Analyzes visual patterns in digital images using trained neural networks
- Compares observed patterns against learned representations from validated training datasets
- Generates quantitative and probabilistic outputs based on mathematical computations
- Provides information to support healthcare professionals' clinical decision-making
The device does not make autonomous decisions, does not directly interact with patients, and does not replace the clinical judgment of healthcare professionals.
Rationale for qualification as a medical device
According to the definition of medical device established in Article 2 of Chapter I of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745, the device is an instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, implant, reagent, material or other article intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination, for human beings for one or more of the following specific medical purposes:

- diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation of, or compensation for, an injury or disability,
- investigation, replacement or modification of the anatomy or of a physiological or pathological process or state,
- providing information by means of in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body, including organ, blood and tissue donations, and which does not achieve its principal intended action by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means, in or on the human body, but which may be assisted in its function by such means.
Justification
The device qualifies as a medical device because it is:
- Software intended for medical purposes
- Used for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases of the skin (ICD-11 code 14)
- Intended for use on human beings
- Does not achieve its principal intended action by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means
Risk class and classification rule justification
Risk Classification: Class IIb
Applicable Classification Rule: Rule 11 (MDR 2017/745 Annex VIII)
Classification according to MDR 2017/745 Annex VIII
In order to find the appropriate risk class for the device according to Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745, we apply the classification rules from Annex VIII.
Chapter I: Definitions specific to classification rules
First, we must understand the definitions of the terms.
According to the Chapter I of the Annex VIII of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745, the following definitions apply to the medical device:
| # | DEFINITIONS SPECIFIC TO CLASSIFICATION RULES |
|---|---|
| 1 | DURATION OF USE |
1.1 | 'Transient' means normally intended for continuous use for less than 60 minutes. |
| 1.2 | 'Short term' means normally intended for continuous use for between 60 minutes and 30 days. |

Chapter III: Classification rules
Now that we know the definitions, it's evident that we are a non-invasive device, and also an active device. Now we can go ahead and find the right class by looking at which rules applies best to our case.
Following the classification rules established in Chapter III, we see that indeed our device is best characterised by Rule 11.
First, we look at 4. Non-invasive devices, and we see that:
Rule 1 All non-invasive devices are classified as class I, unless one of the rules set out hereinafter applies.
So we keep reading, and we get to 6. Active devices. There we discard Rule 9 and Rule 10, because none of them describe our device. However, Rule 11 is representative of the device.
Rule 11
Here's what Rule 11 says:
Software intended to provide information which is used to take decisions with diagnosis or therapeutic purposes is classified as class IIa, except if such decisions have an impact that may cause:
- death or an irreversible deterioration of a person's state of health, in which case it is in class III; or
- a serious deterioration of a person's state of health or a surgical intervention, in which case it is classified as class IIb.
Software intended to monitor physiological processes is classified as class IIa, except if it is intended for monitoring of vital physiological parameters, where the nature of variations of those parameters is such that it could result in immediate danger to the patient, in which case it is classified as class IIb. All other software is classified as class I.
Guideline MDCG 2019-11
To help us determine more clearly whether we are class IIa or class IIb according to Rule 11, we also classify the device with the help of guidance MDCG 2019-11 on Qualification and Classification of Software in MDR 2017/745.
The following table shows the classification Guidance on Rule 11, extracted from Annex III - Usability of the IMDRF risk classification framework in the context of the MDR, of
| High Treats or Diagnoses IMDRF 5.1.1 | Medium Drives Clinical Management IMDRF 5.1.2 | Low Informs Clinical Management (everything else) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical IMDRF 5.2.1 | Class III Category IV.i | Class IIb Category III.i | Class IIa II.i |
| Serious IMDRF 5.2.2 | Class IIb Category III.ii | Class IIa III.ii | Class IIa II.ii |
| Non-serious (everything else) | Class IIa Category II.iii | Class IIa II.iii | Class IIa I.ii |
According to the guidance, classification is determined upon two aspects:
- Columns: the significance of information provided by the medical device software to a healthcare situation related to diagnosis or therapy
- Rows: The effect over the state of healthcare situation or patient condition
The device's intended use spans a broad indication set of 346 ICD-11 categories. For the large majority of these categories, the state of the healthcare situation meets the IMDRF 5.2.2 "Serious" criteria, and the applicable IMDRF matrix cell for those outputs is Serious × Drives clinical management (Category III.ii → Class IIa). The indication also includes melanoma (ICD-11 2C30), which meets the IMDRF 5.2.1 "Critical" definition because delayed diagnosis can progress to metastatic disease with irreversible consequences. For this subset of the intended use, the applicable matrix cell is Critical × Drives clinical management (Category III.i → Class IIb).
Under MDR Rule 11, the classification of the device is determined by the highest applicable cell across the intended use. Because melanoma is included in the indication, the governing cell is Critical × Drives clinical management (Category III.i). The device is therefore classified as Class IIb.
The two sections below walk through the IMDRF 5.1.2 significance-of-information mapping and the IMDRF 5.2.2 state-of-healthcare-situation mapping for the 345 non-melanoma categories. Melanoma is evaluated separately under IMDRF 5.2.1 and, together with the matrix logic above, is the direct regulatory basis for the Class IIb outcome.
Significance of information: medium
The significance of information is medium. The reason is that the device drives clinical management, but does not treat nor diagnose. This can be understood by looking at the document Software as a Medical Device: Possible Framework for Risk Categorization and Corresponding Considerations authored by the IMDRF Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) Working Group.
Driving clinical management infers that the information provided by the SaMD will be used to aid in treatment, aid in diagnoses, to triage or identify early signs of a disease or condition will be used to guide next diagnostics or next treatment interventions:
- To aid in treatment by providing enhanced support to safe and effective use of medicinal products or a medical device.
- To aid in diagnosis by analyzing relevant information to help predict risk of a disease or condition or as an aid to making a definitive diagnosis.
- To triage or identify early signs of a disease or conditions.
That description fit very well with the intended purpose of the device. Thus, the significance of information is medium.
Effect over patient health: serious
The effect over the state of healthcare situation or patient condition is serious. This can be understood by looking at the document Software as a Medical Device: Possible Framework for Risk Categorization and Corresponding Considerations authored by the IMDRF Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) Working Group.
Here's the definition for Serious situation or condition:
Situations or conditions where accurate diagnosis or treatment is of vital importance to avoid unnecessary interventions (e.g., biopsy) or timely interventions are important to mitigate long term irreversible consequences on an individual patient's health condition or public health. SaMD is considered to be used in a serious situation or condition when:
- The type of disease or condition is:
- Moderate in progression, often curable,
- Does not require major therapeutic interventions,
- Intervention is normally not expected to be time critical in order to avoid death, longterm disability or other serious deterioration of health, whereby providing the user an ability to detect erroneous recommendations.
- Intended target population is NOT fragile with respect to the disease or condition.
- Intended for either specialized trained users or lay users.
That description fits the device's intended purpose. The device provides severity measurements for clinical signs (none serious or life-threatening) and probabilistic distribution across ICD categories (not binary diagnostic confirmation for specific conditions).
Scope of this analysis. The following requirement-by-requirement assessment of IMDRF 5.2.2 applies to the 345 ICD-11 categories in the intended use that meet the "Serious" criteria. Melanoma (ICD-11 2C30) is outside the scope of this analysis and is evaluated separately under IMDRF 5.2.1 "Critical"; melanoma's Critical cell is the basis for the Class IIb classification, as described above and confirmed in the Conclusion below.
| Requirement for IMDRF 5.2.2 | Applicable (to the 345 categories in scope) | Clarification |
|---|---|---|
| Condition is moderate in progression, often curable | TRUE | Across the 345 categories to which this analysis applies, all are curable and moderate in progression. |
| Condition does not require major therapeutic interventions | TRUE | Across the 345 categories to which this analysis applies, none requires major therapeutic interventions. |
| Intervention is normally not expected to be time critical to avoid serious outcomes, providing the user an ability to detect erroneous recommendations | TRUE | Across the 345 categories to which this analysis applies, none is time-critical. Melanoma (the time-critical condition within the broader intended use) is evaluated under IMDRF 5.2.1 Critical and is outside the scope of this row. |
| Intended target population is not fragile with respect to the disease or condition | TRUE | Target population is not fragile |
| Intended for either specialized trained users or lay users | TRUE | Intended for specialised trained users |
For the 345 categories in scope of this analysis, the effect over patient health is serious under IMDRF 5.2.2. Melanoma (in scope of the full intended use but outside the table above) falls under IMDRF 5.2.1 "Critical" and is the basis for the Class IIb classification per Rule 11.
The analysis in the table above applies to the 345 ICD-11 categories in the intended use that meet the IMDRF 5.2.2 "Serious" criteria. For these categories, the governing IMDRF cell is Serious × Drives clinical management (Category III.ii → Class IIa).
Melanoma (ICD-11 2C30) is evaluated separately under IMDRF 5.2.1 "Critical": delayed diagnosis can progress to metastatic disease with irreversible consequences on the patient's health condition. For melanoma, the governing IMDRF cell is Critical × Drives clinical management (Category III.i → Class IIb).
Conclusion: Under MDR Rule 11, classification follows the highest applicable cell across the intended use. The melanoma carve-out governs. The device is therefore classified as Class IIb according to Rule 11 of Annex VIII of Regulation (EU) 2017/745.

Reference to previous and similar generations
Previous generations
Previous Generation: Legit.Health (legacy device)
The predecessor of the current device is Legit.Health (the "legacy device"), which has been commercialized since 2020 after obtaining the manufacturing license in Spain and was certified under the Medical Devices Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC as a Class I device.
Similar devices on the market
The clinical evaluation plan identified several AI-based medical devices available on the EU and international markets for dermatological applications. The state-of-the-art analysis revealed that most commercially available devices focus on specific conditions (particularly melanoma and skin cancer detection), whereas the device offers comprehensive coverage of 346 ICD-11 categories covering visible diseases of the skin, dual functionality (diagnostic support and severity quantification), and multi-modal AI analysis with seamless EHR integration.
For complete state-of-the-art analysis including identified similar devices, equivalence assessment, vigilance database searches, and clinical performance comparisons, refer to R-TF-015-011 State of the Art Legit.Health Plus and R-TF-015-001 Clinical Evaluation Plan Legit.Health Plus.
Additional Regulatory Information
RDC 751/2022 🇧🇷 - Brazilian Regulation
The device also complies with Brazilian regulation RDC 751/2022.
Justification as a Medical Device
According to the definition of medical device established in Article 2 of Chapter I of RDC 751/2022, a medical device is defined as a product intended for use in humans for purposes such as diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or relief of diseases, injuries, or disabilities.
The device meets this definition because it is intended for diagnosis and monitoring of skin diseases (ICD-11 code 14).
Classification According to Risk
According to Rule 11 of RDC 751/2022, software providing information for therapeutic or diagnostic decision-making is classified as Class II. The device matches this rule and does not meet the exceptions that would elevate its classification:
a. Death or irreversible deterioration of a person's state of health (Class IV) b. Serious deterioration of a person's state of health or surgical intervention (Class III)
The device provides diagnostic support but does not replace established gold standard techniques (e.g., biopsies for melanoma). Final diagnostic decisions remain with healthcare professionals.
Clinical Benefits
The device provides three consolidated clinical benefits, each identified by a unique 3-character code used consistently across the Instructions for Use, the Clinical Evaluation Report, the clinical investigation records, and the risk management file.
| Code | Clinical Benefit Description |
|---|---|
| 7GH | The device improves the accuracy of healthcare professionals in the diagnosis of dermatological conditions across a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, including rare diseases and lesions suspicious for skin cancer. This has a positive impact on patient management and health outcomes related to diagnosis, enabling more appropriate clinical decision-making, earlier identification of rare conditions, and, in cases of suspected malignancy, reducing the risk of delayed diagnosis and the need for unnecessary invasive procedures. |
| 5RB | The device measures the degree of involvement of disease objectively, quantitatively, and reproducibly. This increases the precision of healthcare providers during the monitoring of patients. This has a positive impact on patient management and outcomes related to the monitoring of patients and treatment. |
| 3KX | The device improves the precision of healthcare professionals in managing dermatological care pathways, encompassing referral decisions, resource allocation, and clinical assessment in remote care settings. This has a positive impact on patient management and outcomes related to the diagnosis and monitoring of patients, resulting in reduced waiting times for specialist consultation, improved adequacy of referrals, and expanded access to dermatological assessment across in-person and remote care settings. |
