No
The device description clearly states it is a "hand-held device that utilizes Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology" and includes physical components like a power adapter, switch, skin sensor, and cooling function. While software verification and validation were performed, the device is fundamentally hardware-based.
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 and/ or facial 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 interaction with the body, not an in vitro test of a biological sample.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition based on in vitro analysis.
The device is clearly intended for a direct application to the body for a physical effect (hair removal), which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
