The device description and performance studies focus on low-level laser therapy and usability testing, with no mention of AI or ML components.
Yes
The device is intended to treat a medical condition (Androgenic Alopecia) and promote hair growth.
No
The device is designed to treat Androgenic Alopecia and promote hair growth, not to diagnose it.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "low level laser therapy (LLLT) device" with "visible red light-emitting diodes" contained within a "lightweight cap" and powered by a "battery pack." This indicates a physical hardware component is the primary mechanism of action, not software alone.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The BOSLEY Revitalizer Laser Caps are external devices that use low-level laser therapy (LLLT) applied to the scalp to stimulate hair growth. They do not analyze any biological samples from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat Androgenic Alopecia and promote hair growth, which is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description clearly outlines a physical device with lasers applied externally.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on biological markers.
Therefore, the BOSLEY Revitalizer Laser Caps fall under the category of therapeutic devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
A single study was conducted in February 2018 in 30 female participants and 30 male participants to judge self-selection, comprehension of labeling and instructions, and usability of the Bosley Revitalizer Laser Cap. Each participant was provided with a Survey and Consent Form and a document entitled "Am I a Candidate for Usage of the Bosley Laser Cap?" These documents described the purpose of the study, the basic procedure steps, a consent form, permission to use their photos and non-disclosure terms.
Each participant was provided the proposed retail package for the Bosley Revitalizer Laser Cap, instructions for use, and the survey form containing 13 questions. Each participant was given as much time as he or she needed to read and understand the packaging information (an understanding of indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions), and assess whether they were within any contraindicated group. Assistance was available from the interviewer, but none of the study participants asked for assistance. The subjects were required to answer all questions. The interviewer verified that the participant completed the questionnaire in his or her presence. One male was excluded from the study as he wore a hair system (toupee) and thus his answers could not be verified. The total male population in the analysis is 29. A series of global photos using superior (male and female) and vertex (male only) were taken by the interviewer.
The survey forms and photos were securely stored electronically is a single folder for each participant. After completion of the data acquisition an independent reviewer verified completeness of the survey forms and the acceptable quality of the photos. Then, a licensed physician skilled in hair loss and skin clinical studies rated the participants pictures for hair loss and skin type.
An independent blinded statistician was provided a chart of hair loss rating and skin type rating, gender, and participant identifier.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Study Type: Over-the-Counter/Usability Testing.
Sample Size: 30 female participants and 30 male participants (29 males included in analysis).
Key Results: All participants in the Bosley study accurately categorized their skin type as suitable candidates for treatment or not a suitable candidate when compared with physician ratings (i.e. 100%). Zero females and three males incorrectly identified themselves as treatment candidates for treatment based on hair loss. This means 100% of women and 90% of men correctly identified their candidacy for treatment or incorrectly judged themselves unsuitable for treatment based on hair loss self-rating. Overall, 95% percent of participants judged themselves correctly on hair loss.

Substantial Equivalence:
The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 Laser Cap and BOSLEY Revitalizer164 Laser Cap are substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices based on indications for use, manufacturing materials, physical specifications, and performance specifications. The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps raise no safety or efficacy concerns when compared to the predicate devices.
Description of the Device:
The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps are low level laser therapy (LLLT) devices designed to promote hair growth in women and men by exposing the entire scalp to the photobiostimulation of 272 or 164 visible red light-emitting diodes at 650-nm and 5mW each. The lasers are contained inside a lightweight cap. The device is powered by an included battery pack and automatically turns off after 30 minutes.
Intended Use/Indications for Use:
The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps are indicated to treat Androgenic Alopecia and promote hair growth in males who have Norwood-Hamilton Classifications of IIa to V patterns of hair loss and to treat Androgenic Alopecia and promote hair growth in females who have Ludwig (Savin) Scale I-1 to I-4, II-1, II-3, or frontal; both with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV.
Technological Characteristics:
The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps and the predicate devices have the following similar and substantially equivalent technological characteristics:
- · Design/Operating Principle: Both the BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps and the predicate devices are LLLT/photobiostimulation devices (with either 272, 202, 82 or 80 laser diodes) in cap form for the hands-free delivery of 650-nm visible red light to the scalp in order to treat androgenic alopecia and stimulate hair growth.
- Energy Source: The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps and the . predicate devices are powered by Lithium-ion battery packs. The batteries can be recharged with the provided standard AC adapters.
5
- Performance: The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps and the . predicate devices provide timed 30-minute LLLT treatments.
The predicate Illumiflow Laser Cap, Grivamax Hair Growth System, Capillus 272 Pro and Theradome LH80 Pro are cleared as OTC devices.
Other minor differences between the subject and predicate devices are summarized below:
- The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps do not contain a . 'safety interlock' which automatically pauses therapy if the subject's head is in a less-than-optimal position.
- The BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps can detect whether or not the o device is on the user's head.
No new questions of safety and effectiveness have been raised as a result of these differences. From the evidence presented in the Premarket Notification, the subject device can be considered substantially equivalent.
Biocompatibility:
Biocompatibility tests of the patient-contacting materials were tested by Mid-Link Technology Testing Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China in accordance with FDA Good Laboratory Practice Regulations (21 CFR Part 58) and International Organization for Standardization 10993-10, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices- Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization and 10993-5:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process, ISO 14971:2007 - Medical devices-Application of risk management to medical devices, FDA General Program Memorandum #G95-1, and FDA's Use of International Standard ISO-10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing.(Part 5: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity). Biocompatibility tests were selected appropriate for the duration and type of contact to the device design of the BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps.
Cytotoxicity tests performed on the BOSLEY Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps demonstrated that the material used in the manufacturing of the caps is non-cytotoxic. The caps were considered by the testing facility to have met the requirements of ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 14971:2007, and FDA General Program Memorandum #G95-1, for surface devices with limited contact (
