Intended Use
The PerfectSmooth is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted hair such as but not limited to small areas such as underarm and facial hair below the chin line and large areas such as legs.
Device Description
The PerfectSmooth is a personal, light-based, hair reduction device intended to be sold over-the-counter directly to the end user. The device provides hair reduction using IPL technology. And it consists of IPL base unit and AC adapter, and a detachable lamp cap located in the IPL base unit which is the source of optical radiation, namely a Xenon flashlamp. The device is power from AC adapter via an external power.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard IPL hair removal device with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data training/testing.

No
The device is described as a hair reduction device for cosmetic/aesthetic use, not for treating a disease or disorder.

No

The device is intended for hair removal, which is a cosmetic purpose, not a diagnostic one. Its function is to reduce hair, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of an "IPL base unit and AC adapter, and a detachable lamp cap located in the IPL base unit which is the source of optical radiation, namely a Xenon flashlamp." This indicates the device is a hardware-based system utilizing IPL technology, not a software-only device. While software is mentioned in the performance studies, it is part of the overall hardware system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal of unwanted hair. This is a cosmetic/aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic one. IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The device uses IPL technology to target hair follicles. This is a physical interaction with the body's surface, not an analysis of biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is applied to the skin (underarms, face, legs). IVD devices typically interact with internal biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on safety (biocompatibility, electrical safety, eye safety), software validation, and usability. These are relevant for a consumer-use device, but not the types of studies (like analytical and clinical performance) required for IVD devices.

In summary, the PerfectSmooth is a light-based device for hair reduction, which falls under the category of cosmetic or aesthetic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
