Intended Use
The Diode Laser Hair Removal System is intended for hair removal, permanent hair reduction on all skin types (Fitzpatrick skin type I-VI), including tanned skin. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.
Device Description
808nm diode laser using selective light absorption, the Diode 808 laser is preferentially absorbed by the melanin of the hair. The light energy is taken up by the hair follicle and converted to heat energy, and minimal energy is transferred to the skin. This preferentially heats the hair and its DNA, while reducing oxygen organization around hair follicle - reducing the chance of hair regrowth. Special cooling technology is applied simultaneously during treatment to cool the skin and protect skin. Diode Laser Hair Removal is the safest and fastest at the present. It adopts Gold standard 808nm semi-conductor laser, based on selective photothermolysis principle, through specific wavelength, penetrate epidermis into dermis, optical energy was absorbed and translated into heat energy with restraining hair follicle tissues, and produce photothermal effect. It takes laser energy in hair follicle with rich in melanin, surrounding tissues absorb less even no energy, reach to restrained melanin of hair follicles and remove hair. Meanwhile, don't hurt around tissues and virtually pain-free remove surplus hair; eventually, reach to permanent Hair Removal.

No
The description focuses on the physical principles of laser hair removal and standard safety/performance testing, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

No
The device is described as being for "hair removal" and "permanent hair reduction," which are cosmetic purposes, not therapeutic. While the standards mentioned include "therapeutic" equipment, the intended use explicitly states hair removal without any mention of medical treatment.

No

The device is intended for hair removal and permanent hair reduction, which are therapeutic and cosmetic applications, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly outlines a hardware device utilizing a diode laser and cooling technology for hair removal, not a software-only application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "hair removal, permanent hair reduction". This is a therapeutic or cosmetic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system that interacts with the body (specifically hair follicles) to achieve a physical effect (heating and reducing hair regrowth). This is an in vivo interaction, not an in vitro (outside the body) test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on safety standards and equivalence to a predicate device for hair removal, not on diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity, specificity, etc.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device is also a "Medical Diode Laser Hair Removal System," further confirming the device's non-diagnostic nature.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Ray Wang:

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 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).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
