No
The summary describes a standard LED therapy device for hair removal based on selective photothermolysis. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms for treatment planning or execution.
Yes.
The device is intended for "permanent hair reduction," which is a claim of a sustained physiological change or effect on the body, defining it as a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as an "LED Therapy Device" intended for "hair removal, permanent hair reduction." Its primary function is to apply light energy for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes (hair reduction), not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "surgical device" that "utilizes a diode LED as a light source" and has a "LED hand piece" and "foot switch". These are hardware components, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is an LED Therapy Device intended for hair removal and permanent hair reduction. It works by applying light energy directly to the skin to target hair follicles.
- Mechanism of Action: The mechanism described is based on selective photothermolysis, which is a physical interaction with the tissue, not an analysis of a biological sample.
- Intended Use: The intended use is a cosmetic/dermatological procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a laboratory test on a sample.
The device is a therapeutic device used for a physical treatment, not a diagnostic device used for analyzing biological samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The LED Therapy Device is intended for hair removal, permanent hair reduction on all skin type I-VI), including tanned skin.
Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.

Device Description
The LED Therapy Device is a surgical device intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedure. It utilizes a diode LED as a light source (780-850 nm). The LED light power is delivered to the treatment area via a LED hand piece. The emission LED is activated by a foot switch and a hand piece.
The proposed LED Therapy Device is equipped with a light depilation function that is based on the theory of selective photo thermolysis. There is abundant melanin in the hair follicle and hair stem. The melanin is distributed amidst the cells between the hair ball substrate and it can be transferred to the structure of hair stems (such as medulla, cortex, and hair cuticle). The Near infrared light can precisely target the melanin and apply the depilation treatment selectively. After the melanin absorbs Near infrared light energy, the temperature rises, in this way, the surrounding hair follicle tissues are damaged, and the hairs are removed.

Discussion 1
The proposed device is different in Laser Classification, Laser Wavelength, and Laser Safety test standard from the predicate device. Mainly because of these differences caused by the inconsistency of Laser Type, this difference can be proved by non-clinical test There is no security impact. The difference that mainly affects performance may exist in the difference in Laser Wavelength can be verified by the Predicate device (K120737), Predicate device (K181568) and the wavelength range of light absorbed by melanin to prove that there is no effect on performance. Therefore, this difference will not affect the substantial equivalency.
Discussion 2
The proposed device is different in Spot Size only affects the area of treatment, not affecting the therapeutic effect, Therefore, this difference will not affect the substantial equivalency.
