Intended Use
IPL Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair.
Device Description
IPL Hair Removal Device is a personal, light-based, home-use hair reduction device intended to be sold over-the-counter. The device provides hair reduction by 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 (100-240V, 50/60Hz) and its IPL emission activation is by finger switch. It contains a skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact, if the light outlet of the device is not in full contact with the skin, the device cannot emit the treatment light pulses. The device includes JP1, JR3, JR9 four models. There is difference in product appearance, physical product dimension, indicator display, spot size and output energy, but their intended use, performance, structure design and operation are basically identical.
More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like training/test sets, image processing, or specific algorithms. The device description focuses on basic sensor technology and light emission control.

No
The device is intended for "removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair" for cosmetic purposes, not for treating or preventing disease.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair," which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of the device being used to identify, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical device utilizing Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, powered by an external adapter, and includes hardware components like a skin sensor and finger switch. While it mentions software verification and validation, this is for the software controlling the hardware, not a standalone software device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside of the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
  • Device Function: The IPL Hair Removal Device works by applying light energy directly to the skin to reduce hair growth. It does not analyze any biological samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair," which is a cosmetic or aesthetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to target hair follicles in vivo (within the living body), not to analyze samples in vitro (in a lab setting).

Therefore, based on its intended use, mechanism of action, and the information provided, this device clearly falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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.
