The device description and performance studies focus on the light therapy technology and user comprehension, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, treatment planning, or other functions.
Yes
The device is indicated to "promote hair growth" for specific conditions (androgenetic alopecia), which implies a therapeutic effect on a medical condition.
No
The device is indicated to promote hair growth. It does not mention analysis, diagnosis, or detection of a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of hardware components: "82 red visible light, diode lasers and 200 red light super-luminescent diodes configured within an outer helmet and protective inner." This indicates it is a physical device, not software only.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. This includes things like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health.
- The iRestore Professional 282 is a device that applies light therapy directly to the scalp. Its purpose is to stimulate hair growth, not to analyze biological samples.
The description clearly states its intended use is to promote hair growth and describes a physical device worn on the head. There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens.

Device Description
The iRestore Professional 282 consists of 82 red visible light, diode lasers and 200 red light super-luminescent diodes configured within an outer helmet and protective inner. The use of diode lasers and non-laser LEDs provides for a full coverage of the upper 1/3 of the head; i.e., the area commonly covered with stylized hair. The helmet system will automatically pause therapy if the subject's head is moved outside of the zone of radiation and will resume therapy when the correct head position is re-established. At the end of the therapy cycle, the system signals that therapy is complete and ready to be powered down. by emitting an audible beep pattern.

Over - The - Counter Testing Program
To test volunteer subjects for the suitability of the iRestore Professional 282, 30 subjects were asked twenty-six questions, after being provided a standard retail package and a full owner's manual. The test subjects was given as long as they required to read and understand the product packaging and manual. No assistance was provided to them and they were not permitted to ask any questions of the interviewer. The interviewer then conducted the interview and filled in the responses from the subjects. The subjects were required to answer all questions correctly to be counted as PASS for the correct Self Selection or, to have made the correct decision to purchase the product or not; to assemble and use the product correctly and comprehend the hazards and maintenance procedures for the device. These decisions would be based upon their understanding of the Intended Use of the product and the manual.
If the questions were answered correctly, they were given a P for PASS. If any questions were answered incorrectly, they were given an F for FAIL. The number of subjects required to answer all questions correctly is 24 of 30 for a 80% success rate.
The results of the Over-the-Counter testing demonstrate that the iRestore Professional 282 comply with the requirements the FDA determined to be applicable. The test revealed an overall 90% pass rate for the subject group of 30 male and female participants. The testing further demonstrates that age, education, socioeconomic group, race or medical hair loss status are not variants that prevent proper self-selection, usability and comprehension of hazards and maintenance procedures for the average consumer to successfully navigate the purchasing and use process of the iRestore Professional 282.
Based on this data, the sponsor believes that the iRestore Professional 282 for male and female users has met the requirements for OTC sale.
Substantial Equivalence
The iRestore Professional 282 device is similar to the device known as the iRestore Hair Growth System. FDA Cleared under K151662. It is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
Both systems, which use red light diode lasers and/or the equivalent, super-luminescent, light emitting diodes are classified as class IIIa/3R laser systems by the IEC standard for allowable emission levels, which is a recognized standard by the FDA as well. and the adverse event profile is the same. The sponsor believes that the difference in the physical appearance or in the method of delivering the radiant energy of the two systems is essentially the same and does not alter the safety profile. Finally, the comparative data summarized in the 510(k) notice confirms the safety and efficacy of the iRestore Professional 282 for OTC Use, according to Part 21 CFR 801 Subpart C. For these reasons, the iRestore Professional 282 satisfies the FDA's substantial equivalence with respect to intended use, technological and design characteristics.
Treatment Protocol
The iRestore Professional 282 and the iRestore Hair Growth System possess the same treatment regime of 25 minutes, every other day, on non-consecutive days, for 16 weeks.
