Intended Use
The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Systems (inclusive of the handpiece used to deliver pulsed-light energy) are indicated for use in surgical, aesthetic and cosmetic applications in permanent hair reduction, treatment of pigmented lesions, moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris, ephelides (freckles), and vascular lesions.
Device Description
The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Systems are intense pulsed light system which delivers intense pulsed light at a wavelength ranging from 430nm-1200nm. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems work on the principles of selective thermolysis. 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 Systems are 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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard IPL device based on selective thermolysis and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is indicated for medical treatments such as "treatment of pigmented lesions, moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris, ephelides (freckles), and vascular lesions," which are therapeutic applications.

No

The provided text explicitly states the device is used for various aesthetic and cosmetic applications (e.g., hair reduction, treatment of lesions), not for diagnosing medical conditions. It works by delivering pulsed light for therapeutic effects, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system" which delivers light at a specific wavelength range and operates on the principle of selective thermolysis, indicating it is a hardware device that emits light energy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states surgical, aesthetic, and cosmetic applications for treating conditions like hair reduction, pigmented lesions, acne, freckles, and vascular lesions. These are all treatments applied directly to the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description explains how the device works by delivering pulsed light to target chromophores within the body. This is a therapeutic mechanism, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body, which is a defining characteristic of IVD devices. The device interacts directly with the patient's skin.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Hong:

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, permits 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 Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers.
