The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses solely on the intended use for hair removal.
No
The device is indicated for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which are cosmetic purposes, not therapeutic medical treatments.
No
The device's intended use is hair removal and permanent hair regrowth reduction, which are treatment-oriented functions, not diagnostic.
No
The device is described as a "Hair Removal Device," which strongly implies a physical hardware component for delivering the hair removal treatment. The summary does not mention any software-only functionality.
Based on the provided information, the BRAUN Silk.expert Pro 3 Hair Removal Device 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.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of bodily fluids, or diagnosis of any condition.
Therefore, the BRAUN Silk.expert Pro 3 is a device for cosmetic/aesthetic purposes and does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Adam Stephens:
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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
1
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
