Intended Use
IPL Home Use Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair.
Device Description
The IPL Home Use Hair Removal Device is a personal, light-based, hair reduction device intended to be sold over-the-counter directly to the end user. The device provides hair reduction using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. It works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain. The device is only powered by the external power adapter and its IPL emission is by finger switch. The device contains a Xenon lamp and a skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact. If the device is not properly applied to the treatment area (in full contact with the skin), the device cannot emit the treatment light pulses. The device is for single-person use only. The IPL Home Use Hair Removal Device includes D-1103, D-1119, D-1129 and D-1130 five models. Their intended use, performance, structure design and operation are basically identical, with the differences contains product appearance, LCD display contents, hair removal lamp cartridge's quantity and appearance, as well as lamp tube's placement location; in addition, due to the size of the treatment window in different lamp cartridge, the treatment area (spot size) is different; but these differences do not affect or change the intended use of the device.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard IPL technology, electrical safety, and software validation for basic device function (like the skin sensor). There is no mention of AI/ML terms, data sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

No
The device is described as an over-the-counter hair removal device. It is intended for cosmetic purposes (removal of unwanted hair), not for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disease or affecting the structure or function of the body for medical purposes, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device.

No

The intended use of the device is for hair removal, not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a Xenon lamp, skin sensor, external power adapter, and a finger switch for IPL emission. It also mentions physical differences between models like appearance and lamp cartridge quantity. While software verification and validation are mentioned, the core functionality relies on physical hardware.

No, 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 about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The IPL Home Use Hair Removal Device uses light energy applied externally to the skin to reduce hair growth. It does not analyze any biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair," which is a cosmetic or aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

The information provided clearly describes a device that interacts with the body's surface using light, not a device that analyzes biological samples for diagnostic purposes.

Dear Rain Yip:

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

1

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 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/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) 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).
