Intended Use
The Depilite EL-8b DERMO FLASH TM Model A system is a microprocessor-controlled nonablative xenon flash lamp-based medical device designed for permanent hair reduction. The Depilite EL-8b DERMO FLASH TM Model SX-513a system is a microprocessor-controlled nonablative xenon flash lamp-based medical device designed for permanent hair reduction. The Depilite EL-8b DERMO FLASH TM Model SX-513c system is a microprocessor-controlled nonablative xenon flash lamp-based medical device designed for permanent hair reduction, and treatment of vascular and benign pigmented lesions and inflammatory acne. The Depilite EL-8b DERMO FLASH TM Model C system is a microprocessor-controlled dual nonablative xenon flash lamp-based medical device designed for permanent hair reduction, and treatment of vascular and benign pigmented lesions and inflammatory acne.
Device Description
The Depilite EL-8b Series DERMO FLASH™ devices are microprocessorcontrolled nonablative light-based medical devices which use pulsed xenon lamps to deliver a selectable range of polychromatic light outside the range of harmful ultraviolet wavelengths leaving only the visual and infrared light to be presented for photo thermolysis epilation and skin treatments. Pre-set and manual delivery parameters - such as the appropriate wavelength, energy, pulse rate and exposure time - and other system features are modulated from the display and control panel on the main unit. The corresponding fluence is delivered through an air-cooled double lamp hand piece without making contact with the treated area (Non Contact Pulsed Light or NCPL™). The complete system consists of the Depilite EL-8b DERMO FLASH™ machine, a photothermolysis handle with treatment head, keys for main switch, a foot switch, electric power cable, protective goggles, and instruction manual.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description mentions a "microprocessor-controlled" device with "pre-set and manual delivery parameters," but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning or adaptive capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found."

Yes.
The device is designed for permanent hair reduction and treatment of various skin conditions, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is designed for permanent hair reduction and treatment of skin conditions, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "microprocessor-controlled nonablative xenon flash lamp-based medical device" and lists hardware components such as a "photothermolysis handle with treatment head," "keys for main switch," "foot switch," and "electric power cable." This indicates it is a hardware device with software control, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended uses are for permanent hair reduction, and treatment of vascular and benign pigmented lesions and inflammatory acne. These are all treatments applied directly to the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a light-based medical device that delivers pulsed light to the treated area. This is a physical treatment method, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Mitchell:

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, J rug, 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.
