Intended Use
The IPL Therapy Systems (inclusive of the handpieces used to deliver pulsed-light energy) is indicated for use in surgical, aesthetic and cosmetic applications in the hair removal at a wavelength ranging from 640nm-1200nm.
Device Description
The IPL Therapy Systems (ST-AI) is an intense pulsed light system which delivers intense pulsed light at a wavelength ranging from 640nm-1200nm. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems work on the principles of selective photothermolysis. That is, causing thermal damage to target chromophores by using light of appropriate wavelength in pulses that exceeds the chromophores' thermal relaxation time but sparing normal skin by limiting the pulse width below the thermal relaxation time for skin. IPL Therapy system is different from lasers in that they deliver many wavelengths in each pulse of light instead of just one wavelength. Generally, IPL enhances penetration without using excessive energy levels and enables targeting of specific chromophores. Based on this, the IPL Therapy Systems (inclusive of the handpiece used to deliver pulsed-light energy) is indicated for use in surgical, aesthetic and cosmetic applications in the hair removal.
More Information

No
The provided text describes a standard Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system based on the principles of selective photothermolysis. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices. The device description focuses solely on the physical principles of IPL and its application for hair removal.

No.
The device is indicated for hair removal in "surgical, aesthetic and cosmetic applications," which are not typically considered therapeutic uses.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is for "surgical, aesthetic and cosmetic applications in the hair removal," not for identifying or diagnosing diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "intense pulsed light system" and includes "handpieces used to deliver pulsed-light energy," indicating it is a hardware device that delivers energy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "surgical, aesthetic and cosmetic applications in the hair removal". This is a therapeutic and cosmetic application performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description explains how the IPL system works by delivering light energy to target chromophores in the skin for hair removal. This is a physical interaction with the body, not an analysis of samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

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