No
The device is indicated for hair removal and permanent hair reduction, which are cosmetic rather than therapeutic indications.
No
The device is indicated for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which are therapeutic or cosmetic purposes, not diagnostic.
No
The device description is not available, but the intended use describes a "Hair Removal System," which strongly implies a hardware component for delivering energy or light for hair removal. This is not consistent with a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the Venus Silk.expert Hair Removal System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal and permanent reduction of unwanted hair on the body. This is a physical treatment applied externally to the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
- Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a device that interacts with the body's surface.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples.
- Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
- Using reagents or assays.
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Venus Silk.expert does not fit this description.

Dear Mike Kiernan:
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.

1
Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
