Intended Use
Light Based Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body hair.
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 Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, and it works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain. The Light Based Hair Removal Device is only powered by the external power adapter and its IPL emission activation is by finger switch. The device contains a Xenon lamp and its built-in skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact. If the device is not properly and fully applied to the treated skin, the device will not emit the light pulse. There are A113, A112, and AM001 three models in this application. Their work principle, function, intended use, structure, and composition are the same, with differences being product appearance, size, and energy output density are slight differences, but these parameters are within the predicate device and do not affect or change the intended use of the device.
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard IPL technology, a skin sensor for contact detection, and basic electrical/software safety testing. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing for analysis, or data sets for training/testing.

No.
The device is intended for the removal of unwanted body hair, which is a cosmetic purpose and not for treating a disease or health condition.

No

Explanation: The device's intended use is for the removal of unwanted body hair, and its description emphasizes hair reduction, not the diagnosis of any condition. It does not mention detecting, monitoring, or identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a Xenon lamp, built-in skin sensor, and external power adapter, and mentions electrical safety and EMC testing, indicating it is a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "removal of unwanted body hair." This is a cosmetic or therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to reduce hair growth. This is a physical treatment applied to the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device does not fit this definition.

The device is a light-based hair removal device, which falls under the category of medical devices used for aesthetic or therapeutic purposes, not diagnostics.

Dear Rain Yip:

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 (the 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 available 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

1

Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
