No
The description focuses on standard pulsed light technology with sensors for safety (skin tone, proximity, temperature) and energy level indication. There is no mention of AI/ML algorithms for image processing, decision making, or adaptive treatment.
No.
A therapeutic device is typically intended to treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent disease. Hair removal, even permanent reduction, is generally considered a cosmetic procedure and not a therapeutic one in the medical sense.
No
The device is described as an over-the-counter device intended for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth. It is not indicated for the diagnosis of any disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "pulsed light hair removal device" composed of a "hand held applicator" containing LEDs, a lamp, and various sensors. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Glide Device Function: The Glide device uses pulsed light to remove hair directly from the skin. It interacts with the body externally and does not analyze any biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which is a cosmetic/aesthetic application, not a diagnostic one.
The description clearly indicates an external, light-based treatment device, not a device for analyzing biological samples.

Device Description
The Glide device is a pulsed light hair removal device. Light-based hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis in which optical energy is used to disable hair growth. The Glide device is composed of a hand held applicator. The device contains 6 LEDs indicating 5 different energy levels and other device functions. The spot size in the Glide device is 2.7cm2. The device contains a lamp, a temperature sensor, a skin proximity sensor and a skin color sensor to detect appropriate skin tones. The skin sensor scans darker skin tones and will not pulse if the skin tone is not suitable for treatment.

Dear Ms. Stein:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 17, 2014.
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.
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

Intended Use/Indication for Use:
The Glide™ device is an over the counter device intended for the removal of unwanted hair. The Glide™ device is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth, 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 regime.
Performance Standards:
No new standards have been cited for this submission.
Non-Clinical (Bench) Performance Data:
The Glide device is identical in all details to the Glide device cleared under K131870. No new non-clinical performance data is reported in this submission.
Clinical Performance Data:
The Glide device was evaluated in a prospective clinical study for the intended use of hair removal. The study evaluated hair removal from facial skin (below cheekbone line), for follow up durations of 1 and 3 months after completion of the last treatment. No adverse events related to the treatment were reported.
Substantial Equivalence:
The Glide device is identical to the Glide device previously cleared under K131870. The indications for use and technological characteristics of the Glide device are substantially equivalent to the indications for use and technological characteristics of the previously cleared Glide device.
Consequently, it can be concluded that the Glide device is substantially equivalent to the predicate Glide device, cleared under 510(k) K131870, and therefore, may be legally marketed in the USA.
Conclusions:
Based on the performance testing and comparison to predicate devices, the Glide device is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Glide predicate device.
