Intended Use

The easy Hairfull is intended to promote hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia who have Norwood Hamilton Classifications of IIa to V and Fitzpatrick Classification of Skin Phototypes I to IV, and in females with androgenetic alopecia who have Ludwig-Savin Classifications of I-II and Fitzpatrick Classification of Skin Phototypes I to IV.

Device Description

The easy Hairfull consists of 21 red visible laser diodes (LDs) and 30 red light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured within an outer helmet and protective inner liner. The use of LDs and LEDs provides for a full coverage of the upper 1/3 of the head where commonly covered with stylized hair. The system automatically pauses therapy when the device is not in the correct head position and resumes treatment when the correct head position is re-established. At the end of the therapy cycle, the system signals that therapy is complete and the device will automatically turn off.

The device could be powered by internal rechargeable li-on battery, and it can also be supplied by specified external adapter with Input AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz and Output DC 5V, 2A.

AI/ML Overview

The easy Hairfull device, an infrared lamp for hair growth, received 510(k) clearance based on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, Hair Up (K180617). The submission refers to non-clinical tests to demonstrate device performance and safety, but does not include any information regarding a clinical study assessing the device's efficacy in promoting hair growth, nor does it provide specific acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics related to hair growth from such a study.

Here's an analysis based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Based on the provided document, there are no specific performance acceptance criteria or reported device performance results related to hair growth efficacy. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through technical characteristics and adherence to safety standards.

The table below summarizes the technical characteristics compared to the predicate device, which implies that matching these characteristics was the "acceptance criteria" for demonstrating substantial equivalence and thus clearance.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not describe an efficacy clinical study using a test set of human subjects for evaluating hair growth. The "Performance Data" section refers to non-clinical tests regarding wavelength, output power, safety, electromagnetic compatibility, photobiological safety, risk management, and usability, all performed on the device itself, not on human subjects for efficacy.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

Not applicable. Since no human test set was described for efficacy evaluation, there is no mention of experts establishing ground truth for such a test. The evaluation for market clearance was based on substantial equivalence for technical and safety parameters.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. No human test set for efficacy evaluation was described.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive technology for human readers. It's a therapeutic device using light to promote hair growth.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. As mentioned, this is a therapeutic device, not an algorithm, and the provided document does not include a standalone performance study in a clinical context for efficacy. The "Performance Data" section lists non-clinical tests performed on the device in a standalone manner (e.g., measurement of wavelength, power output), but these are not for efficacy.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the safety and technical performance data presented (non-clinical tests), the "ground truth" would be established by physical measurements, engineering standards, and regulatory requirements (e.g., IEC standards, 21 CFR regulations).

For the intended use (promoting hair growth), the document does not present any efficacy data or associated ground truth. The clearance is based on the device being substantially equivalent to a previously cleared device (Hair Up K180617) which presumably had its efficacy established in prior submissions (though details of that are not in this document).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

Not applicable.

Dear Paweena U-Thainual:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
