Intended Use
HEE HR Mini is an over-the-counter device intended for the removal of unwanted hair. The HEE HR Mini is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth, defined as a long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of treatment regimen.
Device Description
The HEE HR Mini devices are 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 HR Mini devices are composed of a hand held applicator and an external power supply. The spot size (treatment area) in the HR Mini devices is 3 cm². The device contains a lamp, a skin proximity sensor and a skin color sensor to detect appropriate skin tones. If the HR Mini is not properly applied (in full contact with the skin) or user skin tone is too dark/tanned, the HR Mini will not trigger a pulse. The device has an on/off button, skin color sensor, light exit window, flash button, led indicator, two intensity button, socket for battery charging.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on basic sensor technology (skin proximity and color) and pulsed light delivery, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for processing data or making decisions beyond simple safety checks.

No.
The device is intended for cosmetic purposes (hair removal) and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, not for treating a disease or health condition.

No

The device is intended for hair removal and permanent hair regrowth reduction, which are therapeutic and cosmetic purposes, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of a hand-held applicator and an external power supply, and details hardware components like a lamp, sensors, buttons, and a socket for battery charging. This indicates it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal of unwanted hair and permanent reduction in hair regrowth. This is a cosmetic/aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device uses pulsed light to target hair follicles. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's sensors are for safety (skin proximity and color) and proper operation, not for diagnosing any medical condition.
  • Over-the-Counter Use: IVD devices are typically used in clinical settings or require professional interpretation of results. This device is intended for direct consumer use.

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

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

The testing for HEE HR Mini included performance, software, electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility and bench. HEE HR Mini passed all testing in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility testing:
The biocompatibility evaluation for the HEE HR Mini was conducted in accordance with International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process." As dictated by the application and duration of contact with the intact skin, the enclosure of testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization
  • Irritation

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility:
Electrical safety, performance and EMC testing were conducted on the HEE HR Mini. The device with compliance with the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-57 and IEC 62471 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.

Software Verification and Validation Testing:
Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "Moderate" level of concern.

Note 1

Although it is a little different from the predicate devices, it will not affect the main function and the intended use of the device. They all also comply with safety and performance requirements. So the differences will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue.

7. PERFORMANCE DATA

The testing for HEE HR Mini included performance, software, electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility and bench. HEE HR Mini passed all testing in support of the substantial equivalence determination:

7.1. Biocompatibility testing

The biocompatibility evaluation for the HEE HR Mini was conducted in accordance with International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation

7

and Testing Within a Risk Management Process." As dictated by the application and duration of contact with the intact skin, the enclosure of testing included the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • . Sensitization
  • Irritation

7.2. Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility

Electrical safety, performance and EMC testing were conducted on the HEE HR Mini. The device with compliance with the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-57 and IEC 62471 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.

7.3. Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "Moderate" level of concern.

8. Conclusions:

The proposed device has the same intended use and similar characteristics as the predicate device, the sensiLight (sensiLight and sensiLight Plus) (K140381) and Glide device (K141242). Meanwhile, performance testing, bench testing, and safety report documentation supplied in this submission demonstrates that any differences in their technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Based on performance testing, the proposed device is Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device.
