Intended Use
Intense Pulse Light Therapeutic Apparatus is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body hair.
Device Description
The Intense Pulse Light Therapeutic Apparatus 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 Intense Pulse Light Therapeutic Apparatus 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 IPL-18 BF and IPL-18 FG two models in this application. Their work principle, intended use, structure, appearance, size, and composition are the same, with differences being product function 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 basic sensor technology (skin sensor) and standard electrical/software safety testing, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities.

Yes
The product is explicitly named "Intense Pulse Light Therapeutic Apparatus" in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections, indicating its therapeutic nature.

No

The device is an Intense Pulse Light Therapeutic Apparatus intended for removal of unwanted body hair, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. It works to reduce hair growth, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a Xenon lamp, built-in skin sensor, external power adapter, and finger switch. It also mentions electrical safety and biocompatibility testing, which are associated with hardware devices. While software verification and validation are mentioned, this is for the software controlling the hardware, not a standalone software 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 therapeutic or cosmetic purpose, not a diagnostic one. IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease or injury.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanism of action (IPL technology for hair reduction) and safety features related to skin contact and light emission. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Intense Pulse Light Therapeutic Apparatus is a therapeutic/cosmetic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
