Analysis of Agreement Containing
Consent Order to Aid Public Comment
the agreement and proposed order or to
modify in any way their terms.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
The Federal Trade Commission
(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted,
subject to final approval, an agreement
containing a consent order from Andrew
N. Finkel (‘‘respondent’’).
The proposed consent order
(‘‘proposed order’’) has been placed on
the public record for thirty (30) days for
receipt of comments by interested
persons. Comments received during this
period will become part of the public
record. After thirty (30) days, the
Commission will again review the
agreement and the comments received,
and will decide whether it should
withdraw from the agreement and take
appropriate action or make final the
agreement’s proposed order.
This matter involves the advertising
of a mobile software application (‘‘app’’)
called Acne Pwner which respondent
developed and sold in Google’s Android
Marketplace. Respondent claimed that
Acne Pwner effectively treats acne. The
instructions for this app directed
consumers to hold the light-emitting
display screen next to the area of skin
to be treated for a few minutes each day.
The Commission’s complaint alleges
that respondent violated Sections 5 and
12 of the FTC Act by claiming, without
substantiation, that the app provided an
effective treatment for acne.
The proposed consent order contains
provisions designed to prevent
respondent from engaging in similar
practices in the future. Part I of the
order prohibits respondent from making
any representation that Acne Pwner, or
any other device as defined by Section
15 of the FTC Act, provides effective
treatment for acne, unless respondent
has competent and reliable scientific
evidence to substantiate that claim.
Part II of the order requires
respondent to have competent and
reliable scientific evidence before
making any safety, performance,
benefits, or efficacy claim about any
device.
Part III of the order requires
respondent, within 15 days of the date
the order becomes final, to pay the
Commission $1,700.
The remaining parts of the proposed
order are standard provisions regarding
recordkeeping, dissemination of the
order to officers and employees, prior
notification to the Commission of
corporate changes, notification of new
employment, filing of compliance
reports, and sunsetting of the order.
The purpose of this analysis is to
facilitate public comment on the
proposed order, and it is not intended
to constitute an official interpretation of
By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.

The ‘‘Ensuring Safe
Transitions from Hospital to Home’’
challenge tasks developers with creating
technology solutions that empower
discharged patients to take charge of
their health care during transitions of
places of care. Innovative applications
will help patients and their caregivers
insure that they have all the information
and materials, such as drug
prescriptions, medical equipment,
follow-up appointments, and emergency
contacts, that they need to move safely
to their next care setting.
The statutory authority for this
challenge competition is Section 105 of
the America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–358).
DATES: Effective on September 12, 2011.

Adam Wong, 202–720–2866.
Wil Yu, 202–690–5920.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Subject of Challenge Competition:
ONC, in collaboration with the
Partnership for Patients, seeks to
stimulate innovative approaches to care
transitions and improving patient safety.
Nearly one in five patients discharged
from a hospital will be readmitted
within 30 days. A large proportion of
readmissions can be prevented by
improving communications and
coordinating care before and after
discharge. The Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) provides a
discharge checklist to help patients and
their caregivers prepare to leave a
hospital, nursing home, or other care
setting. Research has shown that
empowering patients and caregivers
with information and tools to manage
the next steps in their care more
confidently is a very effective way to
reduce errors, decrease complications,
and prevent a return visit to the
hospital. ONC is challenging software
developers to improve care transitions
and build upon these tools by
generating an intuitive and easy-to-use
application to empower patients and
caregivers that leverages NwHIN
standards and services.
