No
The description focuses on the hardware components and basic computer control of light pulses, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, decision-making, or adaptation.
Yes
The device is described as treating various skin conditions using Intense Pulsed Light, which falls under therapeutic application.
No
The device description and intended use indicate it is an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system used for therapeutic treatments (e.g., in surgical, aesthetic, and cosmetic applications) to treat skin conditions. It does not mention any function for identifying, analyzing, or diagnosing a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a Xenon Lamp, Sapphire filters, Hand Piece, Main Board, LCD monitor, computer-controlled power supply, and cooling systems. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body ("in vitro").
- Ahwon RPL, R2PL System Function: The description clearly states that this device uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) applied directly to the skin for surgical, aesthetic, and cosmetic applications in dermatology. This is a treatment applied to the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for treating skin conditions, not for diagnosing them through laboratory analysis of specimens.
The Ahwon RPL, R2PL system is a therapeutic device that uses light energy for treatment purposes.

Device Description
The Ahwon's RPL, R2P1 are IPL (Intense pulsed light) system, using visible rays created by Xenon Lamp through Sapphire which are installed on Hand Piece, and composed Main Board, unit LCD monitor controlled by computer Hand pieces Cooling system.
This device uses computer controlled Power supply and filter to generate light pulses of prescribed duration, intensity and spectral distribution. This device also equipped the Cooling systems to maintain both the Treatment head / Systems at appropriate and safe temperatures., The light pulses or emission spectra provide therapeutic indications relevant to specific wavelengths emitted from the system. This system has two hand pieces and each hand piece has 2 wavelengths to choose from. at the end of the Hand Piece, there is a sapphire filter and light is emitted when the button is pressed.
