Intended Use
The EsteLux™ Pulsed Light system is intended to for permanent hair reduction. It is also indicated for photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions, photothermolysis of blood vessels (treatment of facial and leg veins), and the treatment of benign pigmented lesions. The CoolRoller™ is intended to provide pre-cooling of the epidermis, to reduce thermal injury to the epidermis, and to reduce pain and patient discomfort associated with light applications.
Device Description
The EsteLux™ is a light-based medical device designed for permanent hair reduction, effective removal of unwanted hair, treatment of facial and leg veins, and treatment of pigmented lesions in all skin types (I-VI). The CoolRoller™ is an accessory providing pre-cooling of the skin, reduction in thermal injury, and reduction in pain and patient discomfort.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a light-based system and a cooling accessory, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is intended for permanent hair reduction, treatment of vascular lesions, and treatment of pigmented lesions, all of which address medical conditions or modify the body for health-related purposes. The CoolRoller™ also reduces thermal injury and pain.

No
The device is described as treating conditions like unwanted hair, vascular lesions, and pigmented lesions, which are therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones. Its purpose is to perform procedures, not to identify or characterize diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "light-based medical device" and mentions an accessory, the "CoolRoller™", both of which are hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • EsteLux™ and CoolRoller™ Function: The EsteLux™ and CoolRoller™ system works by applying light and cooling directly to the skin for therapeutic purposes (hair reduction, treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions). This is a direct treatment applied to the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.

The description clearly indicates a device used for direct treatment and physical effects on the skin, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.
