Intended Use
The Crystal , Record & Optima are generally intended for dermatological use. The device is specifically indicated for removal of hair by using selective light energy.
Device Description
The Crystal & Record are two models of the same device. The Optima is an additional commercial name of the Record. The device applies photothermal energy to human skin tissue to effect a desired change in the structure of the tissue. The energy is transmitted from a light source to the target tissue by a Treatment Handpiece that is in contact with the skin.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts. The description focuses on photothermal energy application for hair removal.

Yes
The device is described as applying photothermal energy to human skin tissue to effect a desired change in the structure of the tissue, specifically for hair removal, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as applying photothermal energy to human skin tissue for hair removal, which indicates a therapeutic or cosmetic purpose, not a diagnostic one. It aims to effect a change in tissue structure rather than identify a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "Treatment Handpiece" that transmits energy from a light source to the skin, indicating a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "removal of hair by using selective light energy" and is for "dermatological use." This describes a therapeutic or cosmetic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device "applies photothermal energy to human skin tissue" and uses a "Treatment Handpiece that is in contact with the skin." This further confirms it's an external device interacting directly with the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. The provided description does not mention any analysis of specimens.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic or cosmetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
