It is also indicated for the removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults with Fitzpatrick skin types I - IV. The Shaser V-MINI 2 is also intended for permanent reduction in unwanted hair. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regimen.
Device Description
Shaser V-MINI 2 is an Over-The-Counter, Cordless, Rechargeable Light-Based Hair Removal System. Emission activation is by finger switch. Device includes a limited life treatment head and battery charger. Overall weight size is 2.1 x 0.6 x 0.8 cm. Charger electrical requirement is 115 VAC, 15A, 50-60 Hz, single phase.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a light-based hair removal system and its performance studies focus on label comprehension and usability, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The intended use states that the device "is intended to provide phototherapeutic light to the body," directly indicating a therapeutic function.

No

The device description and intended use state that it is for phototherapeutic light and hair removal, not for diagnosing any condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Light-Based Hair Removal System" and includes physical components like a "limited life treatment head and battery charger," indicating it is a hardware device with a light source.

Based on the provided information, the SHASER V-MINI 2 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for providing phototherapeutic light to the body and for hair removal. This involves direct interaction with the body for a therapeutic or cosmetic purpose.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The SHASER V-MINI 2 does not involve the analysis of such specimens.
  • Device Description: The description details a light-based hair removal system used externally on the body.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used on the body and/or facial skin.
  • No Mention of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens.

Therefore, the SHASER V-MINI 2 falls under the category of a therapeutic or cosmetic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
