The summary describes a standard IPL hair removal system and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is intended for hair removal and permanent hair reduction, which are considered cosmetic purposes, not for treating a disease or health condition.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for hair removal and permanent hair reduction, not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "powered base unit and a tethered hand piece" which are hardware components.

No, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside the body (in vitro).
  • SHASER HRS2 Function: The SHASER HRS2 Hair Removal System is a device that applies Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) directly to the skin to reduce hair growth. It is a physical treatment applied to the body, not a test performed on a sample from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for hair removal and permanent hair reduction, which is a cosmetic or aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic purpose related to disease or health conditions.

The information provided clearly describes a device for external application to the body for a non-diagnostic purpose.

Description of the training set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A clinical.trial was conducted to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the SHASER HRS2 Hair Removal System for over the counter use for permanent reduction in hair regrowth defined as a long-term, stable reduction in hair counts following a treatment regime. In a clinical trial, test sites including arm, leg, chest, abdomen, bikini line and underarms were treated 3 times at 2 week intervals on a population of approximately 50% female and 50% male subjects from diverse demographic sub-groups.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Hair counts were taken before treatment and 3, 6, and 12 months following the final treatment.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
