Intended Use
The IPL HAIR REMOVAL (Model: SG-8025) is an over the counter device intended for the removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair in adults. It is also intended for permanent reduction in unwanted hair. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing when measured at 6. 9. and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regimen.
Device Description
The IPL HAIR REMOVAL SG-8025 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 it's IPL emission activation 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.
More Information

No
The document describes a simple IPL device with a skin sensor and manual activation. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making processes.

No.
The device is intended for cosmetic hair removal and reduction, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as an IPL hair removal device intended for the reduction of unwanted hair, not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a personal, light-based, hair reduction device using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, powered by an external adapter, and containing a Xenon lamp and skin sensor. These are all hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The IPL HAIR REMOVAL (Model: SG-8025) is a light-based device that works on the skin's surface to reduce hair growth. It does not involve analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for hair removal and permanent hair reduction, which is a cosmetic or aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the device described is a therapeutic or aesthetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
