No
The summary describes a device using standard IPL technology with a skin sensor and cooling function. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training/testing, which are typical indicators of AI/ML integration in medical devices.

No
The device is indicated for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which falls under cosmetic/aesthetic use rather than a therapeutic indication for treating a disease or disorder.

No

This device is indicated for hair removal and permanent reduction in hair regrowth, which are therapeutic or cosmetic purposes, not diagnostic. It does not identify or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a Xenon lamp, skin sensor, and cooling function, and mentions being powered by an external adapter. While software verification and validation were performed, the device is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples from the human body. The core function of an IVD is to examine biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a person's health or condition.
  • This device uses light to interact with the body. The Ice Cooling IPL Home Use Hair Removal Device uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to target hair follicles on the skin. It does not collect or analyze any biological samples.
  • The intended use is hair removal. The stated purpose of the device is to reduce unwanted hair growth. This is a physical interaction with the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic or aesthetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Notel: These model(s): T10B, T10C, T15A, T17A, T18A, T14A, T16A, T19A all provide hair reduction using Intense Pulsed Light technology and it has the cooling function that effectively cools the skin, so the device name changes from " Home use hair removal device" to "Ice Cooling IPL Home Use Hair Removal Device". The user can get the information about the function of the device by the device name, which is convenient for the user to self-select for the device.

Note2:The Indications for Use descriptions of the subject device and the predicate device are essentially the same, except that the wording is different. 1) The user manual and the outer packaging label specify the hair colors that the device can be used to treat, so the words "in patients with Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes I-V" have been deleted. 2) In order to allow the user to clearly understand the results they can achieve if they use the device for a long term, the following words have been added: "The device is also indicated for the permanent reduction in hair regrowth, defined as the long term, stable reduction in the amount of hair regrowing when measured at 6, 9 and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.". The technical parameters of the subject device are similar to those of the predicate device. The results of the comparison show that the subject device can achieve this result.

Note3:The same models are totally same.

Note4:Though the wavelength of subject device is a little different from the predicate device, they all comply with IEC 60601-2-57/IEC 60601-2-83 and IEC 62471 requirements, so this difference will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue.

Note': Though the energy density and the output energy of subject device is a little different from the predicate devices, the energy density and the output energy of subject device is within the range of the maximum value of the predicate devices, and they all comply with IEC 60601-2-57/IEC 60601-2-83 and IEC 62471 requirement, so this difference will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue.

Note6:There is minor difference in spot size between the subject device and the predicate devices. The spot size is related to energy density and since the difference in energy density is not significant as explained in note5, so this difference will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue.

Note : Though the pulse duration of subject device is a little different from the predicate device, it's basically within the range of the predicate devices, and the subject device comply with IEC 60601-2-57/IEC 60601-2-83 and IEC 62471 requirement, so this difference will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue.
