The summary provides no information suggesting the use of AI or ML. The description focuses on hair removal and reduction, typical of light-based devices, without mentioning any intelligent processing or learning capabilities.
No
The device is indicated for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which are cosmetic procedures, not therapeutic treatments for a disease, injury, or other medical condition.
No
The device is indicated for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which are treatment functions, not diagnostic. There is no mention of determining the presence or absence of a disease or condition.
No
The description clearly indicates a "Hair Removal System," which implies a physical device that interacts with the body to remove hair. This is not a software-only function.
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 samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.
Therefore, the iPulse SmoothSkin Gold Hair Removal System falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
