Intended Use
The Hand-held IPL device (JOVS Graphene Hair Removal Device) is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair.
Device Description
The Hand-held IPL device (JOVS Graphene Hair Removal Device) is a personal, light-based, hair reduction device. The device contains a Xenon lamp and provides hair reduction by Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology 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 activation is by finger switch. The device is for single-person use only. The Hand-held IPL device (JOVS Graphene Hair Removal Device) includes JOC-910-Yellow and JOC-910-Emerald. Their intended use, performance, structure design and operation are basically identical, with the different color appearance.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard IPL hair removal device with no mention of AI or ML capabilities in its operation or features.

No
The device is described as a hair reduction device, not one used for treating a disease or disorder. Its intended use is for cosmetic hair removal.

No

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

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Hand-held IPL device" containing a "Xenon lamp" and powered by an "external power adapter," indicating it is a physical hardware device that uses light-based technology for hair removal.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body. This device is used directly on the body and/or face for hair removal.
  • The intended use is for hair removal. IVD devices are used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions by testing samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The device description clearly states it's a personal, light-based, hair reduction device. This aligns with a cosmetic or aesthetic device, not a diagnostic one.

The information provided describes a device that interacts with the body externally to achieve a physical effect (hair reduction), which is not the function of an IVD.
