The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap is indicated to treat Androgenic Alopecia and promote hair growth in males who have Norwood-Hamilton Classifications of Ila to V patterns of hair loss and to treat Androgenic Alopecia and promote hair growth in females who have Ludwig (Savin) Scale I-1 to I-4, II-1, II-2, or frontal; both with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV.
The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap consists of 96 red, visible light, diode lasers operating at 650 nanometers, configured within an outer helmet and protective inner liner, and configured for portable use with rechargeable battery and adapter. Just as with the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps, the 96 Laser Cap system can detect whether or not the device is in the correct position on the user's head and will automatically pause therapy if it is not. The device will resume therapy when the correct head position is re-established. The system is powered by rechargeable Lithium-ion battery cells assembled into a proprietary battery pack. Both the battery pack and charger are fully compliant with recognized, international standards.
The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary for the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap. Based on the document, this is a Special 510(k) submission, meaning the device is a modification of a previously cleared device. Therefore, a new, independent clinical study to prove efficacy and safety against new acceptance criteria was not performed. Instead, the submission relies on the substantial equivalence to predicate devices and verification/validation activities to confirm that the modifications do not introduce new risks or significantly alter performance compared to the original design.
Here's an analysis of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document doesn't explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria for a new clinical study. Instead, it relies on the safety and efficacy of its predicate devices. The "performance" assessment is primarily focused on confirming that the modified device (with fewer diodes) still meets established safety standards and that its reduced "dose" is acceptable given the intended indefinite use and lower cost.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Compliance with recognized safety standards (e.g., IEC-60601-1) | Conforms to IEC-60601-1, IEC-60601-11, IEC-60601-2-22 (2007/Third Ed.), and IEC60825-1 (Ed. 3). Charger conforms to IEC 61959. |
| Laser class of 3R, AEL max 5 mW per diode | Laser class 3R, individual diode output ≤ 5mW. |
| Laser wavelength, output power (per diode), output beam, energy type, laser field, treatment area remain the same as predicate. | Exactly the same laser wavelength (650 nm), output power (per diode), output beam, energy type, laser field, and treatment area as the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps. |
| No new unacceptable risks due to reduced number of laser diodes | Risk analysis (FMEA) concluded no new unacceptable risk due to reduced number of laser diodes. |
| Functionality operates as designed | All functions of the modified product have been verified to operate as designed, and all acceptance criteria (for functional verification) were met. |
| Acceptable efficacy given reduced dose | "Modestly lower efficacy is accepted by users, with the understanding that treatment is intended to be continued indefinitely." Believed that reduced number of laser diodes will only affect the time required to witness the same result. |
| No reported adverse events | No reported adverse events for these products (Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps, and reference devices). |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
No new clinical study was conducted for this Special 510(k) submission. The performance assessment relied on verification and validation activities of the modified device and comparison to previously cleared predicate devices. Therefore, there is no "test set" in the context of a new clinical efficacy study, nor explicit sample size or data provenance from such a study.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable, as no new clinical study requiring ground truth establishment was conducted for this Special 510(k) submission.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as no new clinical study requiring adjudication was conducted for this Special 510(k) submission.
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
Not applicable. The device is a laser cap for hair growth, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool involving human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. The device is a hardware device for hair growth, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable, as no new clinical study requiring ground truth was conducted for this Special 510(k) submission. The efficacy claims for the predicate devices would have been based on clinical trials measuring hair growth (e.g., hair count, global photographic assessment), but details of those specific ground truths are not provided in this document.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable, as no new clinical study was conducted. No "training set" in the context of AI or a new clinical trial is mentioned.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as no new clinical study was conducted.

Technological Characteristics
The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap incorporates the same technology as the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps in every way except the following:
The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap has fewer diodes - 96 compared to 272 and 164 for the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps
The Bosley Revitalizer 272 Laser Cap consists of 272 red, visible light, diode lasers operating at 650 nanometers, configured within an outer cap and protective inner liner, and configured for portable use with rechargeable battery and adapter. The Bosley Revitalizer 164 Laser Cap consists of 164 red, visible light, diode lasers operating at 650 nanometers, configured within an outer cap and protective inner liner, and configured for portable use with rechargeable battery and adapter. The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap consists of 96 red, visible light, diode lasers operating at 650 nanometers, configured within an outer helmet and protective inner liner, and configured for portable use with rechargeable battery and adapter. Just as with the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps, the 96 Laser Cap system can detect whether or not the device is in the correct position on the user's head and will automatically pause therapy if it is not. The device will resume therapy when the correct head position is re-established. The system is powered by rechargeable Lithium-ion battery cells assembled into a proprietary battery pack. Both the battery pack and charger are fully compliant with recognized, international standards.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Design Control Activities:
The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap design and development team followed ANSI/AAMI/ISO 14971:2007/(R)2010 Risk Management: Medical devices – Application of risk management to medical devices. Significant changes include assessing the effect a reduction of lasers would have on the end product, both for safety and for efficacy. All residual risks are found acceptable and risk management file and summary are available for review. Based on the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps, the verification and validation activities remain the same (e.g. output of each laser, operation of safety interface, and output of power pack), and were performed and assessed by designated personnel qualified to perform such activities. All methods, tests, and acceptance criteria are stipulated on the verification and validation reports. All documents are available for review.
Safety ratings remained the same; there was no change to the output of the individual lasers (≤ 5mw); however, the "dose" (total delivered energy/cm2) is reduced due to reduced number of lasers. This may affect efficacy; this observation is made based on the performance of other devices similar to Bosley Revitalizer Laser Caps that are currently cleared under device code OAP and utilize much fewer than 272 lasers.
Instructions for use with the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap do not change from the instructions provided with the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps. Indications for use and the dose schedule remain exactly the same as for the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps and as for other devices in the same category (product code OAP); which is for maximum 30 minutes, every other day. The output of the laser diodes was verified to remain the same (each diode) as for the previous model. Design control activities were followed per 21 CFR 820.30:
{6}------------------------------------------------
- a) General: The Beijing Toplaser Technology Co., Ltd. Quality Management System is compliant to the requirement of the quality system regulation and specifically to design controls as stipulated by 21 CFR 820.30. The main design activities included the following: 1.) identification of product technical solutions; 2.) risk analysis; and 3.) product validation.
- b) Design and development planning: During project planning activities, the risks were identified and assessed with respect to the proposed design change. The proposed design change was minimal and affected only the number of diodes in the PCB array. The power pack remains exactly the same. Review of the risk assessment from the previous models revealed no significant changes or risks identified for the new model Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap. Vigilance activities for the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap indicated that there were no significant problems identified (no adverse events reported).
- c) Design input: Design requirements for the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps are transferred to the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap and an input/output matrix was completed for the project.
- d) Design output: Design requirements for the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps are transferred to the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap. Design outputs are verified per performance tests.
- e) Design review: Appropriate design reviews were conducted. Due to the minimal modifications made (i.e., only the reduced number of laser diodes), a technical evaluation and a verification of inputs and outputs (physical values) were completed.
- f) Design verification: All verification activities to assess the impact of the modification (reduction of number of laser diodes) were completed. It was determined that the laser
{7}------------------------------------------------
diode output remained the same, but the total dosage is reduced due to the lower number of laser diodes used with the new model. Since the cap is intended to be used indefinitely (if treatment is stopped the results are lost), the reduced number of laser diodes will likely affect only the time required for users to experience the same results as achieved with the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps. The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap is offered as a lower-cost alternative to the original models.
- g) Design validation: Feedback from hair restoration specialists and consumers indicate that a lower-cost alternative is desired. The modestly lower efficacy is accepted by users, with the understanding that treatment is intended to be continued indefinitely.
- h) Design Transfer: The Bosley Revitalizer Laser Cap family of products are manufactured on-site in the facility of the manufacturer in Beijing, China. Design transfer was minimal; training requirement to the new PCB was minimal, and all other components (including overall build) remained the same.
- Design changes: The design of all models follows the manufacturer's established design i) control, change control, and document control procedures.
- i) Design history: The design history file for the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap is available for review.
Performance Data:
All verification and validation activities were performed by designated individuals.
The product design change (reduction of number of laser diodes) was carried out in accordance with the control requirements of design and development activities as detailed in ISO13485 and CFR820, and records of all activities have been maintained.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap is a new model modified on the basis of the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps. With the new 96 model the number of laser diodes has been reduced from either 272 or 164 to 96. The parameters of the laser such as wavelength, and output power remain unchanged. The control method, software and usage method also remain the same as with the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps. The risk analysis method utilized was failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)-- a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a design, a manufacturing or assembly process, or a product or service. FMEA incorporates each of the following risk analysis components:
- "Failure modes" (the ways, or modes, in which something might fail. Failures are any errors or . defects, especially ones that affect the customer, and can be potential or actual);
- · "Effects analysis" (refers to studying the consequences of those failures). Failures are prioritized according to how serious their consequences are, how frequently they occur, and how easily they can be detected. The purpose of FMEA is to take actions to eliminate or reduce failures, starting with the highest-priority failures. Failure modes and effects analysis also documents current knowledge and actions about the risks of failures, for use in continuous improvement. FMEA is initially used during design to prevent failures, but after production has begun it is used for control, before and during ongoing operation of the process.
Based on the risk analysis report (Documents No.: FRZ/TZ-YA-12) produced for the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps, the risks caused by the laser diode reduction of this change have been analyzed one by one. The conclusion is that there is no new unacceptable risk due to the reduced number of laser diodes.
{9}------------------------------------------------
New product samples of the 96-laser diode model have been tested to meet the requirement and the test methods utilized were identical to the test methods utilized for the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps (Test report number: FRZ/JL-T-028). Due to changes in product specifications, the identification label has been modified and new models have been added to the operation manual.
Due to the reduction of the laser diodes, the corresponding product BOM has also been modified. There is, however, no change in the manufacturing process flow. The results of the verification and validation activities (available for review) demonstrate that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met.
Performance testing was conducted to confirm compliance to design specifications. All functions of the modified product have been verified to operate as designed, and all acceptance criteria were met by the new device. The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap conforms to the following recognized standards: IEC-60601-1, IEC-60601-11, IEC-60601-2-22 (2007/Third Ed.), and IEC60825-1 (Ed. 3). These IEC standards are recognized and accepted standards by the FDA. The guidance document for these standards is found in the Federal register, July 26, 2001 (volume 66, Number 144). This report validates for the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap the laser class of 3R which establishes the AEL (accessible emission limits) as 5 milli Watts maximum. The charger conforms to IEC 61959. The performance data -- available for review-- demonstrates that the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap has exactly the same laser wavelength, output power (per diode), output beam, energy type, laser field, and treatment area as the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps cleared under K181253. Total "dose" – delivered energy over time – (J/cm ²) is reduced due to the reduced number of laser diodes. However, since the cap is intended to be used indefinitely (if treatment is stopped, results are lost ), it is believed that the reduced number of laser diodes will
{10}------------------------------------------------
only affect the time required to witness the same result as achieved with the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps. Just as for the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps (K181253) and reference devices, there have been no reported adverse events for these products.
Substantial Equivalence
The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap is the same technology used by Bosley Revitalizer 272 and
164 Laser Caps (K181253) and other reference devices; specifically, iGrow-II Hair Growth
System (K122248 and K140931). The Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap is as safe and
(commensurate to number of diodes) effective as the Bosley Revitalizer 272 and 164 Laser Caps,
as well as other reference devices in its class, such as the Hairmax Lasercomb.

The submitter believes that with the exception of the number of laser diodes and the configuration of the optical elements, the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap is the same device in form, function, safety, and efficacy as the previous versions and the predicate device(s). The Hairmax Lasercomb, offered as a reference, is proof of the functionality and acceptability of devices with fewer laser diodes cleared by the FDA in the category of OAP, both technically and clinically. The submitter believes that the difference in the physical appearance, number of diodes, or in the method of delivering the radiant energy of the systems is of no consequence and does not affect the therapeutic value or the safety profile.
All compliant LLLT systems which use red light diode lasers are classified as class 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.
For these reasons, the Bosley Revitalizer 96 Laser Cap satisfies the FDA's requirements (for device modification notification) with respect to intended use, and technological and design characteristics. Additionally, no new safety or efficacy concerns are raised due to the minor differences between these devices.
