The Sensilight Pro device is an over-the-counter device intended for the removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair. Sensilight Pro is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth, defined as a long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured 6,9 and 12 months after the completion of treatment regimen.
The Sensilight Pro is an intense pulse light hair reduction device. Phototherapy (Lightbased) hair reduction is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis in which optical energy is used to disable hair re-growth. The Sensilight Pro is composed of a hand-held applicator and an external power supply/charger. The spot size (treatment area) in the Sensilight Pro is 4.5 cm² or 2 cm² (for large and precise treatment windows, respectively).
The device contains a lamp, a skin proximity and pigmentation sensor allowing application only on compatible skin tones and while in full contact with the treated area. If the Sensilight Pro is not properly applied (in full contact with the skin) or user skin tone is too dark/tanned, the device will provide indications on the faulty conditions and will not trigger a pulse.
The Sensilight Pro device, intended for over-the-counter hair removal and permanent hair regrowth reduction, did not report specific acceptance criteria in the provided text. Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through various tests and comparisons.
Here's an analysis of the provided information, structured to address your points:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
As specific numerical acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) were not explicitly defined in the provided text, they cannot be presented in a table. The performance evaluation primarily centered on safety, compliance with standards, and human factors validation.
However, we can infer some performance aspects from the human factors studies:
| Performance Aspect | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Label Comprehension/Self-Selection | 100% of 25 participants reported correct answers regarding intended use, treatment areas, and contraindications. |
| Usability/User Interface | 100% success rate for all tasks (25 tasks across 4 scenarios) completed by participants without moderator assistance. Average satisfaction with ease of use: 4.4 ± 0.2 (on a 1-5 scale). Average labeling and instructions comprehension: 4.1 ± 0.2. Overall satisfaction: 4.1 ± 0.2. Minimal negative feedback (two found it heavy, one found triggerless mode unnecessary). |
| Safety (via standards compliance) | The device has been tested and complies with numerous international and industry standards, including: - IEC 60601-1:2012/EN 60601-1:2013 (Ed. 3.1) for basic safety and essential performance. - IEC 60601-1-11:2015 (Ed. 2) for home healthcare environment. - IEC 60601-2-57:2011 (Ed. 1) for non-laser light source equipment. - FCC part 15, Subpart B, Class B. - IEC 60601-1-2:2014 (Ed. 4) for electromagnetic compatibility. - IEC 62471:2006 (Ed. 1) for photo-biological safety. - IEC 62304:2006 for medical device software life cycle processes. - ISO 10993-1:2009 for biological evaluation. - ISO/IEC 14971:2007 (BS EN ISO 14971:2012) for risk management. - CB IEC 62133:2012 and UN 38.3 for battery safety and transport. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Labeling Comprehension/Self-Selection Study:
- Sample Size: 25 participants (4 men, 21 women).
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but based on the overall context of a submission to the US FDA, it would typically be conducted within the US or a region compliant with US regulatory requirements. The study appears to be prospective as participants were "enrolled" and received materials for evaluation.
- Usability/User Interface Study:
- Sample Size: 25 participants initially ("all tasks were completed by 100% of the participants"), but the follow-up satisfaction questionnaire was filled by 18 of the 20 users. This suggests that the study may have involved 20 users for the primary usability tasks with 18 completing the satisfaction survey, or 25 for tasks and 18 for satisfaction. Clarification is needed, but 25 is the stated size for task completion.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated regarding country, but appears prospective as participants performed tasks with the device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
There is no mention of experts being used to establish ground truth in the context of these human factors studies for the Sensilight Pro. The "ground truth" for these studies was the ability of the general public (participants) to comprehend labeling and successfully operate the device without assistance.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Labeling Comprehension/Self-Selection Study: Answers were "further validated by the moderator." This implies a form of human review/adjudication. The text states "with correct answers: 'Yes' or 'No', explenation and further validation by the moderator."
- Usability/User Interface Study: The adjudication method for tasks was based on direct observation of task completion, with the "success rate (pass criteria) was 100% per each task scenario." No specific expert adjudication process beyond the moderator's observation is described.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No MRMC study was performed or reported. This device is an IPL hair removal device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or interpretive system that would typically involve human "readers" or an MRMC study.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable in the AI sense. The Sensilight Pro is a medical device, not an AI algorithm. Its "standalone" performance is established through bench testing (safety, electrical, mechanical, photobiological, etc.) and compliance with various standards (listed in point 1). These tests ensure the device functions correctly and safely on its own.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- For Human Factors Studies:
- Labeling Comprehension: The "ground truth" was predefined correct answers to comprehension questions, potentially established by the device manufacturer's regulatory/clinical team.
- Usability: The "ground truth" was verifiable task completion based on the device's design and instructions.
- For Clinical Efficacy (Hair Reduction): The document explicitly states: "No new clinical performance data is reported in this submission."
Therefore, the ground truth for hair reduction efficacy for this submission was not directly established via new clinical studies. Instead, substantial equivalence to predicate devices (which presumably had established clinical efficacy) was argued based on similar technology and parameters. The stated definition of "permanent reduction in hair regrowth" (measured 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment) implies that outcomes data would be the typical ground truth for this claim, but this was not provided for the Sensilight Pro in this submission.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML product requiring a training set in the conventional sense. The "training" for the device's design and features would be through engineering development, safety testing, and compliance with standards.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there's no "training set" for this type of device. The design and safety features (like skin proximity and pigmentation sensors) were developed and validated through internal testing and compliance with recognized standards, which serve as the implicit "ground truth" for their proper functioning.

5. INTENDED USE
The Sensilight Pro is an over the counter device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults. The Sensilight Pro is also intended for permanent reduction in unwanted hair. Permanent hair reduction is defined as a long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of treatment regimen.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.
Sensilight Pro relies on the same technology as both predicate devices: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). The safety and efficacy of IPL treatment for hair reduction are governed by the following parameters:
- . Wavelength of the emitted light (spectrum): Defines the interaction with specific chromophores (the part of the molecule responsible for its color) such as melanin, hemoglobin and water. Sensilight Pro and the predicate devices utilize the same spectrum as the Beurer IPL 8500 device (475-1200nm/550-1200nm) and the sensiLight mini predicate device (475-1200nm).
- . Fluence/flux - defines the energy per area (e.g. joules per cm2) for the treatment. Sensilight Pro and the predicate devices deliver exactly the same maximum energy (5 joules/cm2).
- . Pulse duration - Provides for an efficient heating of the target molecule but not its surroundings. Sensilight Pro and the predicate devices has exactly the same pulse duration.

Human Factors Validation Testing
A human Factors Validation Testing was done to evaluate the HFE/ UE concerns, including label comprehension/self-selection and usability/user interface studies (one arm, simulated use and summative evaluation). In both studies, participants had received the labeling materials of the device, and given enough time to read it according to their own wish.
Labeling Comprehension/ Self Selection Study was aimed at demonstrating potential user comprehension of the device labeling (mainly the outer package) in order to decide if device use is appropriate for her. It had included three main questions regarding the intended use of the device, treatment areas and possibility to use the device according to the contraindication, with correct answers: "Yes" or "No", explenation and further validation by the moderator. A total of 25 participants, 4 men and 21 women, from age 23 to 75 years old (37 ± 14 years old) were enrolled to this study. Participants had different educational levels, as obtained by REALM testing with 28% below 90 grade level. All participants had met the inclusion/ exclusion criteria and signed ICF. 100% of the participants had reported correct answers, as further validated by the moderator («=1).
Usability/ User Interface Study was aimed at demonstrating the OTC user can correctly use the device, based on the labeling material for the intended aesthetic puspose. The study was focused on four use scenarios including 25 relevant tasks: "Getting to know the device and device set-up" (7 tasks). "self-preparation" (9 tasks). "device usage" (7 tasks) and "after usage" (2 tasks). None of the participants had required assistance from the moderator while performing the tasks. Altogether, all tasks were completed by 100% of the participants, and the success rate (pass criteria) was 100% per each task scenario.
In addition, in the follow up satisfaction questionnaire, filled by 18 of the 20 users, all participants (18) commented that the device usage is easy and clear with an average result of 4.4±0.2, using a 1-5 discrete scale (when 1 represents worst and 5 represents best). Labeling and instructions comprehension result was 4.1±0.2 and overall satisfaction was

at 4.1±0.2. Two participants found the device to be somewhat heavy and a single user found the trigger less mode to be unnecessary.
These two demonstrate that the intended OTC users can understand the package labeling, correctly choose the device and use it for the indicated aesthetic use, based solely on reading the lableling materials.
CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA 8.
No new clinical performance data is reported in this submission.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 9.
Sensilight Pro by EL Global Trade Ltd. is substantially equivalent to the selected predicate devices in terms of indication for use, technology, performance, areas of usage, patient population and nature of body contact.
The Substantial equivalence decision was based on the following comparison with the predicate devices:
The design and components in Sensilight Pro, including the hand-held applicator (with lamp, microcontroller, fan, skin color and proximity sensors, indicator LEDs and operational button/s), are similar to the design and components found in the predicate devices (K161089 and K181734). The performance specifications (including light energy power, wavelength and pulse duration) are identical. The safety features found in the devices are the same, including the skin color sensor, skin proximity sensor, etc. These safety features in Sensilight Pro are substantially equivalent to the safety features found in the predicate devices. Any minor differences in the characteristics do not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns. Furthermore, the new Sensilight Pro underwent performance testing, including software validation testing and electrical and mechanical safety testing according to IEC 60601-1 and electromagnetic compatibility testing according to IEC 60601-1-2.
