Intended Use
The IPL Cooling Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair.
Device Description
IPL Cooling Hair Removal Device, is an over-the-counter, home-use device for unwanted hair reduction by using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and it has been designed two models with the same IPL technology for hair removal, which is model NBB01 and NBB02. The device 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 IPL Cooling Hair Removal Device has an irreplaceable light exit and it can cover an area of 3.6cm2 that is suttable for multiple hair removal areas, such as face, lips, underarms, bikini lines, arms, legs, etc. The device contains a skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact, if the light exit is not in full contact with the skin, the device cannot emit the treatment light pulses. Besides, the IPL Cooling Hair Removal Device has the cooling function, which will be activated throughout the whole hair removal process to cool down the treatment area's temperature and provide the user with a better using experience.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on standard IPL technology, safety testing, and basic software validation. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing for analysis or adaptive treatment.

No
The device is intended for the removal of unwanted hair, which is a cosmetic purpose, not a medical condition or disease that would qualify it as a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device description clearly states its intended use is for "removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair" for cosmetic purposes, not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as an external power adapter, finger switch, light exit, skin sensor, and cooling function, indicating it is a physical device utilizing Intense Pulsed Light technology, not solely software.

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 aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to reduce hair growth. This is a physical interaction with the body (specifically hair follicles), not an in vitro test performed on biological samples outside the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a disease, condition, or state of health. It doesn't analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a patient's health.

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 IPL device does not fit that description.
