The Lumenis Be F65 Laser System is intended to be used for the new indication for Improving the appearance of scalp hair in adult males with Fitzpatrick skin type I to IV seeking treatment for hair loss, as well as, for the identical set of functions as the predicate device. The description here is limited to the system module required to support the new indication which is the subject of this 510(k):
- The laser console includes a power supply unit, a Laser module (+ aiming beam), a control unit and a PC module. The laser beam is transferred to the handpiece via fiber optics.
- . The handpiece includes a scanner module – built of two mirrors that are controlled by two motors directing the Laser beam to desired target tissue.
- . The handpiece uses a tip (user may choose from two types) to align the Laser beam focus with the target tissue, enabling a treatment shape size and a tip thermo-electric cooler (TEC).
The F65 is intended for professional use only.
The provided FDA 510(k) summary only describes the clinical studies for the F65 module and handpiece with 1565 nm wavelength, specifically for the new indication of "Improving the appearance of scalp hair in adult males with Fitzpatrick skin type I to IV who are seeking treatment for hair loss." It does not provide detailed acceptance criteria and performance data for all the device's indications, nor does it present the information in a clear table format for acceptance criteria vs. device performance.
Based on the information provided for the 1565nm module and its new indication:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for the new indication ("Improving the appearance of scalp hair in adult males with Fitzpatrick skin type I to IV who are seeking treatment for hair loss") are implicitly derived from the study results presented in the document. The document states a primary efficacy endpoint of "demonstrating improvement in more than 70% of subjects" for the retrospective study.
| Acceptance Criteria (for 1565nm module, hair loss indication) | Reported Device Performance (Retrospective Study) |
|---|---|
| No reported adverse events | No adverse events were reported or documented in patient files during treatment or follow-up period across all 98 subjects. |
| Primary efficacy endpoint: Improvement in scalp hair appearance in >70% of subjects with confirmed Androgenic Alopecia (implicit) | For 44 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of androgenic alopecia, the assessment of improvement in scalp hair appearance yielded a correct identification in 97.7% (95% Cl: 87.8% -99.7%) of the cases by a group of 3 blinded reviewers. This demonstrates improvement in more than 85% of patients, supporting the primary efficacy endpoint of demonstrating improvement in more than 70% of subjects. |
| Overall efficacy endpoint: Improvement in scalp hair appearance across all subjects (explicit/observed) | For the total of 98 subjects included in the performance analysis, the assessment of improvement in scalp hair appearance yielded a correct identification in 96.9% (95% CI: 91.38 -98.5%) of the cases by a group of 3 blinded reviewers. |
2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance
- Preclinical Study (Animal Testing): Sample size for the preclinical study is not specified, only that it "was conducted to evaluate the Lumenis F65 subject module for hair follicle regeneration capabilities using both Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and untreated controls."
- Clinical Studies:
- Prospective, Single Arm Study:
- Sample Size: 32 subjects enrolled, 25 completed.
- Diagnosis Breakdown: 18 with Androgenic Alopecia, 7 with other diagnoses (evaluated separately).
- Hair Count Data: 5 male subjects with androgenic alopecia, 18 female subjects with androgenic alopecia.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but clinical studies are generally prospective. No country of origin is mentioned.
- Retrospective, Single Arm Study:
- Sample Size: 98 subjects evaluated for performance.
- Diagnosis Breakdown: 44 with confirmed Androgenic Alopecia, 54 with no documented diagnosis (presumably hair loss but not specifically diagnosed as androgenic alopecia).
- Data Provenance: Retrospective. No country of origin is mentioned.
- Prospective, Single Arm Study:
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Retrospective Study: "a group of 3 blinded reviewers" were used for the assessment of improvement in scalp hair appearance.
- Qualifications of Experts: The specific qualifications (e.g., dermatologist, years of experience) of these 3 blinded reviewers are not specified in the provided document. They are only referred to as "reviewers."
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- For the retrospective study, where 3 blinded reviewers assessed improvement, the adjudication method is not explicitly stated. It's mentioned they "yielded a correct identification" in a certain percentage of cases. This implies either:
- All 3 reviewers had to agree (unlikely for such high percentages given typical inter-reader variability without prior agreement).
- A majority vote (2 out of 3) was used.
- One expert's assessment was deemed primary, or they collectively discussed and reached a consensus.
The document does not detail the process.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done comparing human readers with AI assistance vs. without AI assistance.
- The studies described are for the device's direct effect on hair growth, not for evaluating human reader performance with or without an AI. The "blinded reviewers" in the retrospective study were assessing the clinical outcome (improvement in scalp hair appearance), not the performance of an AI algorithm.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
- This document describes a medical device (laser system) that directly treats patients, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, there was no standalone (algorithm only) performance study as it's not an AI device. The "performance" refers to the clinical outcome achieved by the laser system.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
- For the clinical studies, particularly the retrospective study, the "ground truth" for showing improvement in scalp hair appearance was established by expert consensus/review (3 blinded reviewers).
- For the prospective study, quantifiable metrics like mean increase in hair count per cm² from baseline were reported, which can be considered objective outcomes data.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- This document describes physical medical device studies (laser system) for a 510(k) submission, not an AI model requiring a training set. Therefore, there is no concept of a "training set" in the context of this submission. The "training" here refers to the device's design and manufacturing through engineering principles and prior knowledge, not machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- As there is no AI model or "training set" in the context of this device submission, this question is not applicable.

Device Description
The Lumenis Be F65 Laser System is intended to be used for the new indication for Improving the appearance of scalp hair in adult males with Fitzpatrick skin type I to IV seeking treatment for hair loss, as well as, for the identical set of functions as the predicate device. The description here is limited to the system module required to support the new indication which is the subject of this 510(k):
- The laser console includes a power supply unit, a Laser module (+ aiming beam), a control unit and a PC module. The laser beam is transferred to the handpiece via fiber optics.
- . The handpiece includes a scanner module – built of two mirrors that are controlled by two motors directing the Laser beam to desired target tissue.
- . The handpiece uses a tip (user may choose from two types) to align the Laser beam focus with the target tissue, enabling a treatment shape size and a tip thermo-electric cooler (TEC).
The F65 is intended for professional use only.
Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The key difference between the Lumenis Be F65 Laser System and its predicate is the new indication for improving the appearance of scalp hair in adult males with Fitzpatrick skin type I to IV seeking treatment for hair loss, which has led to this 510(k). While the F65 Laser System delivers the same light wavelength as the predicate, the intensity and pattern of the delivered light to the scalp are specific to the proposed new indication.
Promoting hair growth through exposure to light is not a new concept, as demonstrated by the clearance of the reference device and other devices under the same classification as the reference device.
Safety questions associated with electrical, electromagnetic compatibility, and biocompatibility, are addressed through testing conducted on the predicate device. Animal testing of the subject device's operating parameters addresses both safety and effectiveness questions for the new proposed indication. Likewise, the safety and effectiveness of the device for the proposed indication were also evaluated through two clinical studies of patients seeking treatment for hair loss.
Table 1 provides a comparison, relevant to the F65 module with the 1565 nm laser, which is related to the new proposed indication, of the technical characteristics of the subject device to its predicate and reference devices.

Summary of Clinical Testing and Animal Testing
A preclinical study was conducted to evaluate the Lumenis F65 subject module for hair follicle regeneration capabilities using both Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and untreated controls. The results showed complete tissue repair and formation of hair follicles.
Two clinical studies were conducted to demonstrate that the subject device is safe and effective in patients seeking treatment for hair loss, as indicated. Subjects received multiple treatments over several months, per the protocol described in the Operator's Manual.
In a prospective, single arm study, 32 subjects with hair loss were enrolled, 25 of which completed the entire course of the study. Patients were diagnosed with Androgenic Alopecia (18) or other diagnosis (7) and were evaluated separately. In the Androgenic Alopecia group, the mean age was 32.1 ± 6.4 years. Most of the subjects were female (13/18) and all subjects included were of Fitzpatrick skin type II. For male subjects with androgenic alopecia (n=5) there was an increase of 70.8 ± 35.5 hairs per cm² between baseline and the 3-month follow-up visit. For female subjects with androgenic alopecia (n=18) there was an increase of 45.2 ± 30.2 hairs per cm² between baseline and 3-month follow-up visit. Pain and discomfort during treatment were assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) and ranged between 1.97 to 2.33 on a scale from 0 to 10. Post treatment subjects had a trace to mild erythema. No adverse events were reported during the study treatment or follow-up period.
In a second retrospective single arm study, a total of 98 subjects were evaluated for performance, with ages ranging from 21 to 66 years and a mean age of 37.2 ± 9.9 years. Of them, in 44 (44/98, 44.9%) of the cases the documented diagnosis was Androgenic Alopecia, and in 54 cases (54/98, 55.1%) there was no documented diagnosis. Females slightly outnumbered males (51 vs. 47), and the majority of subjects had Fitzpatrick skin type III (60/98, 61.2%), with some having skin types II (18/98, 18.4%) or IV (1/98, 1%). All patient records were reviewed for any reports of adverse events during treatment or follow-up period – no adverse events were reported or documented in patient files. For the 44 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of androgenic alopecia, the assessment of improvement in scalp hair appearance yielded a correct identification in 97.7% (95% Cl: 87.8% -99.7%) of the cases by a group of 3 blinded reviewers. Demonstrating improvement in scalp hair appearance in more than 85% of the patients treated which supports the primary efficacy endpoint of demonstrating improvement in more than 70% of subjects. For the 98 subjects included in the performance analysis, the assessment of improvement in scalp hair appearance yielded a correct identification in 96.9% (95% CI: 91.38 -98.5%) of the cases by a group of 3 blinded reviewers.
Summary of Testing
No new bench testing was required because the testing of the Lumenis predicate devices also applies to the subject device.
{10}------------------------------------------------
Conclusion
The proposed new indication for the subject device does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness and is adequately supported by the validation testing. The conclusions drawn from the animal and clinical testing, and previously conducted testing of the predicate device, demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate.
Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to its predicate.
