Intended Use
The BEAMAX is intended for aesthetic and cosmetic use. The device is specifically indicated for removal of hair by using selective light energy.
Device Description
The BEAMAX applies thermal energy to human skin tissue. The energy is transmitted from a flash light source. It is transmitted to the target tissue by a hand piece that is in contact with the skin (contact mode). The device is constructed from a Man Machine Interface panel, an operating console, and a treatment hand piece.

No
The summary describes a device that uses thermal energy from a light source for hair removal and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is described as being for "aesthetic and cosmetic use" and "removal of hair," which are typically not considered therapeutic purposes.

No
The device is described for "aesthetic and cosmetic use" and "removal of hair," which are not diagnostic purposes. It applies thermal energy for treatment, not for identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is constructed from hardware components including a Man Machine Interface panel, an operating console, and a treatment hand piece, and applies thermal energy via a flash light source.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is explicitly stated as "aesthetic and cosmetic use" for "removal of hair by using selective light energy." This is a direct treatment applied to the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a device that applies thermal energy to human skin tissue via a hand piece in contact with the skin. This is consistent with a therapeutic or cosmetic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • 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 disease or condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The BEAMAX's function is to directly interact with the body for a cosmetic purpose.

Dear Mr. Laor:

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.
