Intended 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.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for an IPL Hair Removal device. It does not describe a study involving an AI/Machine Learning device or its acceptance criteria. Therefore, most of the requested information cannot be extracted from this document.

The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on:

  • Intended Use, Mode of Action, and Operational Characteristics: The subject device has the same intended use (hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth) and mode of action (Intense Pulsed Light) as the predicate devices.
  • Safety Standards Compliance: The device passed tests for biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10), electrical safety and EMC (ANSI AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-83), and eye safety (IEC 62471).
  • Software Verification and Validation: Software documentation consistent with a moderate level of concern was submitted, demonstrating that all software requirement specifications are met and hazards mitigated.

Since this document is for an IPL hair removal device using traditional medical device testing for substantial equivalence, it does not contain the detailed information about AI/ML acceptance criteria and studies (like those involving expert readers, ground truth establishment, or MRMC studies) that you requested.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions related to AI/ML device performance and validation.

Dear Riley Chen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
