The description focuses on the physical components (laser diodes, circuit board) and the mechanism of action (low-level laser light) for hair growth, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is indicated to treat androgenetic alopecia, promote hair growth, and help prevent further hair loss in males. These actions directly address a medical condition and aim to improve health, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is intended to treat androgenetic alopecia and promote hair growth, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones. It does not identify or analyze a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the devices are "handheld low level laser devices" and describes hardware components like "circuit board containing seven, nine, or twelve laser diodes." This indicates a physical hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the HairMax LaserComb devices are "handheld low level laser devices that emits laser light with the intention to promote hair growth." They are applied directly to the scalp.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "treat androgenetic alopecia, promote hair growth and help prevent further hair loss" by applying laser light to the scalp. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The device's function and intended use are entirely external and therapeutic, not diagnostic based on analyzing biological samples.

Performance Testing
Testing to IEC 60601-1 and 60601-1-2 confirm the device's adherence to LVD electrical and EMC safety requirements. Testing to IEC 60825 confirm the laser classification to be Class 3R, same as predicate devices.
Clinical Testing
Two randomized, double-blind, controlled. multi-center clinical trials were conducted to confirm the performance of the subject devices. These studies confirm that the subject devices are expected to provide an effective dose rate to promote hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia who have Norwood-Hamilton Classifications of IIa to V patterns of hair loss and Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV with safety and effectiveness outcomes substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices.
Additionally, a study was conducted to validate the HairMax LaserComb User Manual (Copyright 2009) for the Lux 9, Professional 12 beam unit and confirm usability. Participants in the study were given access to the HairMax LaserComb and the User Manual under controlled conditions. Based on the study outcomes, the device and manual were validated within a sample population that could potentially desire to use the HairMax LaserComb.

Substantial Equivalence
The HairMax LaserComb Advanced 7. HairMax Lux 9 and HairMax Professional 12 are as safe and effective as the predicate devices. The HairMax LaserComb Advanced 7. HairMax Lux 9 and HairMax Professional 12 have the same intended use of promoting hair growth as the predicate devices. The subject devices have the same general indications, i.e., treating androgenetic alopecia, and the same specific indication of promoting hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia who have Norwood-Hamilton Classifications of I to V patterns of hair loss as the predicate devices.
Except for modifications to the laser delivery method and slight increases in laser output, the HairMax LaserComb Advanced 7, HairMax Lux 9 and HairMax Professional 12 is identical in technological characteristics as the HMLC as cleared in K060305 and K093499, including its red laser wavelength, its comb component, its instructions for use and its audible or vibrating timer. The modification to the HairMax LaserComb Advanced 7, HairMax Lux 9 and HairMax Professional 12 does not change the intended use of the product nor does it affect the products fundamental scientific technology. Therefore this change does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. This was also demonstrated in randomized, double-blind, control clinical studies evaluating changes in terminal hair-count in the evaluation zone, as well as usability studies to validate instructions for use, confirm that device modifications do not affect the safe and effective use of the devices when compared to the predicates.
For those reasons, the HairMax LaserComb Advanced 7, HairMax Lux 9 and HairMax Professional 12 satisfy FDA's substantial equivalence with respect to both the intended use and technological characteristics.

Dear Mr. Uldriks:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 6, 2011.
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. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, perforts your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
