No
The description focuses on the hardware components (Xenon Arc Flashlamp, skin sensor) and basic safety mechanisms (skin contact sensor). There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing for analysis, or data sets for training/testing.
Yes
The device is intended for the permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which is a physiological change for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device is intended for hair removal and reduction, which is a therapeutic or cosmetic purpose, not for diagnosing a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a Xenon Arc Flashlamp, skin sensor, lithium battery, and power adapter, and mentions hardware-related testing like Electrical Safety and EMC.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal of unwanted hair and permanent reduction in hair regrowth. This is a cosmetic/therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to target hair follicles. It does not involve analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition or disease.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: The description focuses on the mechanism of hair removal and safety features (skin sensor), not on any diagnostic capabilities.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This IPL hair removal device does not fit that definition.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The IPL Hair Removal is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted hair. The device is also indicated for the permanent reduction in hair regrowth, defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing when measured at 6, 9 and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.

Device Description
IPL Hair Removal (Models: SB01, SB01A, SB01C, SN02, SN02, SN03), is an over-the-counter, single-person-use device for the permanent reduction of hair growth based on Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). It works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling. reducing hair growth with minimal pain.
Model SB01, SB01A, SB01C are powered by lithium battery and can be charged by power adapter, while model SN02 and SN03 are only power adapter. Their IPL emission activation is by finger switch. All models of IPL Hair Removal adopt irreplaceable flash window and are suitable for multiple hair removal areas, including small areas (e.g. underarms, bikini lines) and large areas (e.g. arms, legs). IPL Hair Removal contains a Xenon Arc Flashlamp and a skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact, if the device is not in full contact with the skin, the device cannot emit the treatment light pulses.
