Intended Use
The Spectra Hair Removal Laser System is an over-the-counter device intended for adjunctive use with shaving for hair removal sustained with periodic treatments.
Device Description
The Spectra Hair Removal System consists of the Spectra Laser and Spectra Skin Sensor. The Spectra Hair Removal Laser is a semiconductor diode laser system that delivers infrared light at a wavelength of nominally 800 nm. The Spectra Skin Sensor determines whether users can safely use the Spectra Hair Removal Laser.
More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, and the device description focuses on standard laser and sensor technology.

No.
The device is intended for hair removal, which is a cosmetic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

No
A diagnostic device is used to identify a disease, condition, or injury. This device is intended for hair removal, which is a cosmetic procedure, not a diagnostic one. While it has a sensor to determine safe use, this is a safety feature, not a diagnostic function in the medical sense.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "Spectra Hair Removal Laser" and a "Spectra Skin Sensor," which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for hair removal, which is a physical treatment applied to the body. IVDs are used to examine specimens taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health or condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system that delivers light. While it includes a sensor, the sensor's purpose is to determine safe usage of the laser, not to analyze a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, the Spectra Hair Removal Laser System is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Grove:

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. Iisting 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.
