Intended Use
The Aurora DS is indicated for the removal of unwanted hair from skin types I-VI, and to effect stable long-term, or permanent, hair reduction.
Device Description
The Aurora DS is a device indicated for the removal of unwanted hair from skin types I-VI, and to effect stable longterm, or permanent, hair reduction. The Aurora DS treatment is based on the principle of selective (electromagnetic) thermolysis. According to this principle, parameters of optical and RF energy (spectrum, exposure duration and energy density) are chosen and optimized to selectively damage to the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding tissues.
More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on the physical principles of the device (selective thermolysis using optical and RF energy).

No
The stated intended use is for hair removal and reduction, which is generally considered an aesthetic procedure, not a therapeutic one aimed at treating a disease or medical condition.

No
The device is indicated for the removal of unwanted hair and hair reduction, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly describes a device that utilizes optical and RF energy, which are hardware components, to achieve its intended use. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal of unwanted hair from skin and hair reduction. This is a cosmetic or therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a device that applies optical and RF energy to the skin to target hair follicles. This is an external application of energy, not an in vitro test of a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Aurora DS does not perform any such analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the Aurora DS falls under the category of a therapeutic or cosmetic device, not an IVD.
