Intended Use
IPL Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial 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. It works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain. The device is only powered by the external power adapter and its IPL emission activation is by finger switch. The device contains a Xenon Quartz Lamp Tube to emit light and a skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact. If the device is not properly applied to the treatment area (in full contact with the skin), the device cannot trigger a pulse emitting. The IPL Hair Removal Device includes: AP10, AP20, AP32 four models. Their intended use, performance, structure design and operation, are essential the same for the device models, with main differences being product appearance, display contents, physical product dimension, treatment area (spot size), output energy and power supply.
More Information

No
The description focuses on basic IPL technology, a skin sensor for contact detection, and standard electrical/biocompatibility testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training/testing, which are typical indicators of AI/ML integration. The software validation mentioned is standard for medical devices and doesn't specifically indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair, which is a cosmetic procedure for hair reduction and not a therapeutic function for treating a disease or condition. However, medical devices are broadly categorized as therapeutic devices if they perform a function impacting the body, regardless of whether it's for disease treatment or cosmetic purposes. In this case, hair removal is a body function that is impacted.

No

The device is an IPL hair removal device intended for cosmetic hair reduction, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a Xenon Quartz Lamp Tube, skin sensor, and external power adapter. It also mentions physical dimensions and treatment area (spot size), which are hardware characteristics. While software verification and validation are mentioned, the device is clearly a physical device with embedded software, not a standalone software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair." This is a cosmetic or therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a light-based device for hair reduction, working on the skin's surface. This aligns with a physical treatment device, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a person's health status, disease, or condition. IVDs are designed to perform tests on these types of samples to aid in diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The device is clearly described as a personal, over-the-counter device for hair removal, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Bing Huang:

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.

Comparison in details:

Note 1:

The power adapter has been tested along with the subject device for electrical safety, so this difference will not raise any safety/effectiveness problems.

Note 2:

Although the appearance, weight and dimensions are different between the subject and predicate device, these differences are insignificant and do not raise any safety/effectiveness problems.

Note 3:

The energy medium are both Xenon lamp, the output specification such as wavelength range, energy density, pulse duration are close to the predicate and reference device's range, these parameters of the subject device can be basically covered by the predicate and reference devices' range, they are very similar. So this difference will not raise any safety/effectiveness problems.

Note 4:

Although there are differences between subject device models spot sizes compared to the predicate device, the energy density and other light output characteristics are sufficiently similar so that the treatment window size differences do not raise safety/effectiveness concerns when the device is used properly.

8

Note 5:

The model AP20 has nine different output levels, but the energy density range of this subject device mode is similar to the predicate device range.

(8) Non-clinical studies and tests performed:

Non-clinical testings have been conducted to verify that the IPL Hair Removal Device meets all design specifications which supports the conclusion that it's Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device. The testing results demonstrate that the subject device conforms to the following performance standards:

  • ANSI AAMI ES 60601-1, Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for A basic safety and essential performance
  • A IEC 60601-1-2, Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests
  • IEC 60601-1-11, Medical electrical equipment Part 1-11: General requirements for basic A safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment
  • IEC 60601-2-83, Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-83: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of home light therapy equipment

  • IEC 62471, Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems >

The device has been tested for biocompatibility for conformance to the following performance standards:

  • A ISO 10993-5, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 5: Tests for InVitro Cytotoxicity
  • ISO 10993-10, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 10: Tests for Irritation and A Skin Sensitization.

We have also conducted:

  • Software verification and validation test according to the requirements of the FDA "Guidance for Pre Market Submissions and for Software Contained in Medical Devices"

(9) Conclusion

Based on the above analysis and non-clinical tests performed, it can be concluded that the subject device IPL Hair Removal Device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device, IPL Home Use Hair Removal Device.
