Intended Use
The IPL Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body hair.
Device Description
The IPL Hair Removal Device 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, and it works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain. The IPL Hair Removal Device is only powered by the external power adapter and its 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 and fully applied to the treated skin, the device will not emit the light pulse. Also, the subject device is equipped with ice compress function to cool down the skin temperature and give a user a better experience, but this function has no other therapeutic use. The IPL Hair Removal Device includes ZHF-IPL-II and ZHF-IPL-III two models. Their intended use, performance, structure design and operation are basically identical, with the differences mainly in product appearance and its spot size of the treatment window, output energy, and display form, but these differences do not affect or change the intended use of the device. The model difference is embodied in #1) the spot size of the ZHF-IPL-II is 3.6cm2 and the corresponding output energy is 2.6~4.4J/cm²; the spot size of the ZHF-IPL-III is 4.1cm² and the corresponding output energy is 2.4~3.7J/cm²; #2) the display form of ZHF-IPL-II is LCD display screen and indicator light, and the display form of ZHF-IPL-III is indicator bar and light.

The description focuses on standard IPL technology, a skin sensor for contact detection, and basic electrical/software safety testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning algorithms.

No.
The device is intended for "removal of unwanted body hair" and "hair reduction," which are cosmetic purposes rather than treating or preventing medical conditions.

No
The device's intended use is for "removal of unwanted body hair," which is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a Xenon lamp, skin sensor, external power adapter, finger switch, and an ice compress function. It also mentions different models with variations in physical characteristics like spot size and display form. While software verification and validation are mentioned, the core functionality and operation rely on physical hardware.

Based on the provided information, 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 IPL Hair Removal Device uses light energy applied externally to the body to reduce hair growth. It does not analyze any biological samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The stated intended use is "removal of unwanted body hair," which is a cosmetic or aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the function and intended use of this device clearly fall outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
