Intended Use
TRIA is an over-the-counter device intended for adjunctive use with shaving for hair removal sustained with periodic treatments. TRIA is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth defined as a long-term, stable reduction in hair counts following a treatment regime. Permanent hair reduction is defined as long term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured out to 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of the treatment regimen.
Device Description
TRIA is a semiconductor diode laser system that delivers infrared light at a wavelength of nominally 800 nm +/- 20%.

No
The summary describes a laser hair removal system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device is intended for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which are cosmetic or aesthetic purposes, not therapeutic applications for treating a disease or medical condition.

No.
The device is described as an over-the-counter laser system intended for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which are treatment functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states that TRIA is a "semiconductor diode laser system," which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth. This is a physical treatment applied to the body, not a test performed on biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system that delivers infrared light. This is a therapeutic or cosmetic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information.
    • Measuring biomarkers or analytes.
    • Using reagents or assays.

Therefore, based on the provided text, the TRIA device is a laser-based hair removal system intended for direct application to the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

TRIA is an over-the-counter device intended for adjunctive use with shaving for hair removal sustained with periodic treatments. TRIA is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth defined as a long-term, stable reduction in hair counts following a treatment regime. Permanent hair reduction is defined as long term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured out to 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of the treatment regimen.

Technological Characteristics

TRIA is a semiconductor diode laser system that delivers infrared light at a wavelength of nominally 800 nm +/- 20%.

Performance Data

Clinical trials have been conducted to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of TRIA for overthe-counter use for hair removal sustained with periodic treatments and for permanent reduction in hair regrowth.

Substantial Equivalence

The TRIA used in the clinical study is the previously cleared TRIA. The TRIA has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared TRIA. Performance data demonstrate that the TRIA is as safe and effective as its predicate. Thus, the TRIA is substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Kahan:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
