Intended Use
The Handheld Diode Laser for Hair Removal is an over-the-counter device intended for adjunctive use with shaving for hair removal sustained with periodic treatments. Handheld Diode Laser for Hair Removal is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth defined as a long-term, stable reduction in hair counts following a treatment regime. permanent hair reduction is defined as long term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured out to 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of the treatment regimen.
Device Description
The Handheld Diode Laser for Hair Removal is an Over-The-Counter device intended for adjunctive use with shaving for hair removal sustained with periodic treatments. The device is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth defined as a long-term, stable reduction in hair counts following a treatment regime permanent hair reduction is defined as long term, stale reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured out of 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of the treatment regimen. The Handheld Diode Laser for Hair Removal is a semiconductor diode laser system that delivers infrared light at a wavelength of nominally 808nm. Laser hair removal is based on the principles of selective photothermolysis (SPTL): a combination of the appropriate laser wavelength, pulse duration, and fluence can obtain optimal effect on a targeted tissue with minimal effect on surrounding tissue. Wavelengths of 808 nanometers (nm) are widely used in hair removal treatment, it is selectively absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft, damaging the follicular epithelium, and further causes hair loss, while the competing chromophores (oxyhemoglobin and water) absorb less energy at these wavelengths.

No
The summary describes a standard diode laser hair removal device based on selective photothermolysis. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data training/testing related to algorithmic performance. The performance studies focus on electrical safety, laser safety, biological evaluation, spot size accuracy, and usability/label comprehension, not AI/ML model validation.

Yes.

The device is intended for "permanent reduction in hair regrowth" through long-term, stable reduction in hair counts, which is a physiological effect on the body and indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is intended for hair removal and permanent hair reduction. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "semiconductor diode laser system" and describes its physical characteristics and mechanism of action (delivering infrared light at a specific wavelength). This indicates it is a hardware device, not software only.

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 diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system that delivers infrared light to target hair follicles. This is a therapeutic or cosmetic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on safety standards, usability, and accuracy of the laser's physical characteristics (spot size). There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, etc.).

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A Usability/Label Comprehension Study was conducted.

Two smaller groups out of these participants were chosen to participate in a usability study in which the actual product along with its labeling would be tested.

The first group of 13 participants consisted of 7 females, 6 males and their ages ranged from 19-71 years. Two participants with dark skin tone and one participant with blond hair were included in this group. It was explained to them what the study was all about and then were asked (two at a time) to pretend that they had just purchased the product and were to use it for the first.

The tester allowed ample time for the users to read/study the labeling, include information on retail box, name plate and Instruction Manual Rev: V 1.02, completely while recording questions and answering them. Then the actual use of the product was observed, remarks and questions were recorded.

Then we revised the Instruction Manual form Rev: V 1.03 according with the question from the tester.

A second group of 10 participants was chosen for a second test. There were 5 females, 5 males and their ages ranged between 19 and 73 years.

Again, after allowing ample time to read and study the Instruction Manual Rev: V 1.03, the questions asked came down to only 2 and they were not pertaining to safety or operation.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Usability/Label Comprehension Study.

First group (N=13): 7 females, 6 males, ages 19-71. Two participants with dark skin tone and one participant with blond hair.

  1. All participants understood the "Skin Tone Chart", Warnings, Indications and Contraindications;
  2. Three user refused to use the product after reading the determination as "Skin Tone Chart" and Indications, because skin tone and hair color;
  3. 9 of the remaining 10 users had questions.
    The inputs of the first groups needed some changes and additions to the Instruction Manual (Rev: V 1.02).

Second group (N=10): 5 females, 5 males, ages 19-73.
All (100%) participants were able to properly use the device and properly clean it with the labeling submitted.
The inputs of the second test groups did not warrant any more changes and additions to the Instruction Manual (Rev: V 1.03).

No clinical study is included in this submission.
