Intended Use
The L600® is a non-coherent light-based device designed for photothermal removal of unwanted hair of the face and the body in skin types I to IV through selective targeting of melanin in the hair follicle. The L600® is intended to effect permanent hair reduction. According to the Food and Drug Administration, permanent hair reduction is defined as a long term and stable reduction in number of hair follicle re-growing after a treatment regime. The number of hair re-growing must be stable over time greater than the duration of a complete growth cycle of hair follicles according to body location.

No
The summary describes a light-based device for hair removal and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

No
The device is intended for permanent hair reduction, which is considered an aesthetic procedure, not a therapeutic treatment for a medical condition. While it has an intended effect (reduction of hair), it's not described as treating a disease or injury.

No

The device is designed for permanent hair reduction, which is a cosmetic procedure, not for diagnosing any medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "non-coherent light-based device," indicating it is a hardware device that uses light for treatment, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the L600® device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to diagnose, monitor, or screen for health issues.
  • L600® Function: The L600® is a light-based device that directly interacts with the body (skin and hair follicles) to remove unwanted hair. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "photothermal removal of unwanted hair of the face and the body." This is a physical treatment applied to the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the L600® falls under the category of a therapeutic or aesthetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Danet:

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 the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
