Intended Use
The IPL Hair Removal Device (Model: TB-1755) is an Over the Counter device intended for the removal of unwanted body hair.
Device Description
IPL Hair Removal Device Model: TB-1755, a small over-the-counter device for the permanent reduction of hair growth based on Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). It works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain. A personal Light-Based Hair Removal System. Emission activation is by finger switch. Device includes a treatment window head, an adaptor and goggles. The size of the device is about 185 x 72.4 x 69.2mm (H x W x D). The device incorporates Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology. The purpose of the light is to heat the root where the hair grows. The device contains a Xenon Lamp and a skin proximity sensor to detect appropriate skin contact. If the IPL Hair Removal Device is not properly applied to the treatment area (in full contact with the skin), the device cannot be triggered a pulse emitting.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on IPL technology and a skin proximity sensor, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the permanent reduction of hair growth, which is a physiological change for a non-cosmetic purpose, meeting the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is intended for hair removal, a cosmetic application, not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a Xenon Lamp, skin proximity sensor, treatment window head, adaptor, and goggles, and describes its physical dimensions and mechanism of action involving light emission.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The IPL Hair Removal Device works by applying light energy directly to the skin to target hair follicles. It does not analyze any biological samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal of unwanted body hair, which is a cosmetic or aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

The device is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than IVDs. It's a light-based device for hair removal.

Dear Jet Li:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
