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.
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.
The provided text describes the regulatory clearance of a Hand-held IPL device (JOVS Graphene Hair Removal Device) by the FDA, based on its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not contain information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria related to an AI/ML-driven medical device, nor does it detail a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers or standalone AI performance.
The "Performance Data" section (Page 7 & 8) refers to various standard tests conducted for medical devices, such as:
- Biocompatibility Testing: ISO 10993-5:2009 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10:2010 (irritation and skin sensitization).
- Electrical Safety and Eye Safety: IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-83.
- Software Verification and Validation: Stated as consistent with a moderate level of concern, with system validation testing demonstrating met requirements and mitigated hazards.
- Usability: IEC 60601-1-6.
These are standard engineering and safety tests for the device itself, not performance metrics for an AI algorithm's diagnostic capabilities or improvement of human reader performance. The document explicitly states: "Performance data supports that the device is safe and as effective as the predicate device for its intended use." This "performance data" refers to the types of tests listed above, which demonstrate the device's adherence to safety standards and its functional characteristics (e.g., energy density, wavelength) being comparable to legally marketed predicates.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving an AI/ML device's performance or its impact on human readers, as the provided document is for a physical IPL device and describes a substantial equivalence determination based on standard device safety and performance characteristics, not an AI algorithm.
The document does not contain the following information, which would be relevant for an AI/ML study focused on diagnostic performance:
- A table of acceptance criteria for AI performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC).
- Reported device performance against those criteria.
- Sample sizes for test sets used for AI model evaluation.
- Data provenance for AI evaluation (e.g., retrospective/prospective, country of origin).
- Number/qualifications of experts for AI ground truth.
- Adjudication methods for AI ground truth.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study details (effect size of AI assistance).
- Standalone AI performance metrics.
- Type of ground truth used for AI (e.g., pathology, outcomes data).
- Sample size and ground truth establishment for AI training sets.

Dear Klem Hou:
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.
{2}------------------------------------------------
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).
