No
The document describes a pulsed light system for hair removal and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is specifically indicated to "permanently reduce unwanted hair," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is indicated for permanent hair reduction, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a cabinet, umbilical, and handpiece, indicating it is a physical device that delivers pulsed light, not software only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to permanently reduce unwanted hair." This is a therapeutic or cosmetic procedure performed on the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a pulsed light system that delivers light to the skin. This aligns with a device used for external treatment, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Clinical studies were conducted to provide assurance that difference in the specifications of the ProLite / Plasmalite MPX Pulsed Light System and the predicate device for hair removal did not result in different performance during use. These results were previously reported to the FDA in 510(K) 010927. Observation in the clinical study were recorded prior to treatment and at 3-6 months after treatment. There was no scarring in any subject. The study demonstrated that selective photothermolysis targeting melanin in the human hair follicle is an effective tool for hair removal.

Dear Ms. Hoy:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in
