The description focuses on IPL technology, skin contact detection, and basic device functions. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, data processing for learning, or complex decision-making beyond simple sensor input.
No.
The device is used for cosmetic hair removal and not for treating or diagnosing any disease or condition, which is the primary purpose of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for hair removal using IPL technology, not for diagnosing any medical conditions. Its function is to reduce hair growth, which is a treatment, not a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a hand-held handle, main unit, external power cord, eye protector, and attachable flash heads, and describes its operation using Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology, which is a hardware-based energy delivery method.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair. This is a cosmetic or aesthetic procedure performed directly on the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device uses Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology to reduce hair growth. This is a physical interaction with the body, not a method for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to detect, diagnose, monitor, or predict any disease or condition. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The Superior Hair Remover, an over-the-counter device, is a home-use device for the removal of unwanted hair from body parts. The device provides hair reduction using Intense Pulse 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 can 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 can flash for 300,000 times.
The device is composed of a hand-held handle, a main unit, an external power cord, and eye protector, two attachable flash heads. It is used AC Powered (100-240V AC, 50/60Hz).
The Superior Hair Remover includes T31 and T61 two models. Their indications for use, working principle, mode of action, operating mode, over-temperature protection function, structure design, button function, skin contact detection function, treatment area, spot size and operation are basically identical, with the minor differences contains product appearance, control buttons on touch panel, light intensity levels.

Dear Iris Wang:
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.

Discussion of Comparable Items:
- Note1:
"Source Energy" is a little different between subject device, but the subject device comply with IEC 60601-1 requirements. So the differences will not raise new safety or effectiveness issue.
2) Note2:
The maximum energy density of subject device is minor different from predicate device.
But the subject device complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC60601-2-57 requirements. So the differences of function specification will not raise new safety or effectiveness issue.
3) Note3:
Although it is a little different between subject device and predicate device, the spot size of device only affects the treatment target skin area per each pulse flashing, and the light density of different spot size is also in the range of energy density declared by subject device. And the subject device complies with IEC60601-1, IEC60601-2-57 requirement.
Therefore, the differences of spot size will not raise new safety or effectiveness issue.
