More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser hair removal system with standard laser and cooling technology. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that would suggest their use in the device's operation or decision-making.

Yes.
The device is intended for "hair removal permanent hair reduction," which is a medical purpose as defined by the FDA. The fact that it is a "Prescription Use" device further supports its classification as a therapeutic device.

No

The device is intended for hair removal and permanent hair reduction, which are cosmetic or therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as high power laser diodes, TEC and sapphire cooling units, and a beam shaping technology. The performance studies also focus on hardware parameters like wavelength, energy, frequency, power output, and cooling.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "hair removal permanent hair reduction". This is a cosmetic or therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "Diode Laser Hair Removal System". It uses a laser to interact with hair follicles on the skin.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

The device is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than IVDs. It's a device used for a physical treatment or procedure.

Discussion1: Different - Wavelength

The laser wavelength of this device is the same as K140009 and similar to K210168.

According to" IEC 60825-1:2014 Safety of laser products Part 1: Equipments 700m-1050mm laser is the emission limit of the same group, so the slight wavelength difference between 808nm will not make a difference in laser safety. In addition, the therapeutic effect of laser treatment is caused by the themal effect generated after the skin surface and is absorbed by hair follides However, according to the laser absorpion curve of human to any from 800mm to 850m belongs to the low value of water absorpion and the peak value of pigment absorption. The subtle wavelendth difference between 808mm and 810mm will not have any difference in the penetration depth of laser and the absorption effect of tissues, and will not affect the clinical effectiveness.

Discussion2: Different - Spot Size

8

posed device is similar to the predicate device. The output laser energy density is an important factor affecting safety. Therefore, this difference will not affect safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.

Discussion 3: Different - Fluence Laser energy density is low and safety is better.

Discussion 4: Different - Pulse Duration

The pulse width of this instrument is smaller than that of K210168 and K140009, and the single pulse energy is lower, so the safety is better.

Discussion 5: Different - Frequency

The pulse frequency of this instrument is the same as K210168, higher than K140009.

The product of laser repetition frequency and pulse instrument is not more than 100W. For example, when the frequency is 10HZ, the corresponding energy density is 10Jom², which is single pulse energy value of K14009 of 120 J/cm². Therefore, the safety and effectiveness will not be affected.

Discussion 6: Different -Tissue Cooling

Good skin cooling can greatly reduce the probability and serenergy. This device is same as model K14009, the sapphire on the handle tip is cooled by TEC. It's with smaller size, lighter weight, fast cooling result will improve the treatment safety.

Discussion 7: Different - Power Supply

The power supply of the device may be different from the predical safety and EMC test has been conducted on the proposed device and the test result show that the device can work normally under this difference will not affect safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.

Discussion 8-14: The differences from Discussion 8-14 don't affect the safety and performance to medical device.
