Intended Use
Light based hair removal device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted hair such as but not limited to small areas such as underarm and facial hair below the chin line and large areas such as legs, excluding patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes VI.
Device Description
The Light Based 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 IPL technology. The device consists of IPL main body and adapter two parts, and a lamp cap located in the main body which is the source of optical radiation, namely a Xenon flashlamp. Meanwhile, the device is powered from adapter via an external power.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard IPL hair removal device and does not mention any AI or ML components, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML applications.

No.
The device is intended for hair removal, which is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and not a therapeutic one aiming to treat a disease or medical condition.

No

The device is described as a "Light based hair removal device" intended for "removal of unwanted hair" and provides "hair reduction using IPL technology." Its intended use is purely cosmetic (hair removal), not for diagnosing any medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of an "IPL main body and adapter two parts, and a lamp cap located in the main body which is the source of optical radiation, namely a Xenon flashlamp." This indicates the device is a hardware-based system utilizing light technology for hair removal, not a 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 hair." This is a cosmetic or aesthetic purpose, not for diagnosing a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The device uses IPL technology to target hair follicles. This is a physical interaction with the body's surface, not an analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) which is characteristic of IVDs.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of biomarkers, or any other activity related to diagnosing or monitoring a medical condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Huifang Yao:

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.

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).
