IPL Hair Removal Device is indicated for the removal of unwanted hair. The device is also indicated for the permanent reduction in hair regrowth, 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.
IPL Hair Removal Device, is an over-the-counter, home-use device for unwanted hair reduction by using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and it has been designed twenty-three models with the same IPL technology for hair removal, which is model BHRL-01, BHRL-02, BHRL-03, BHRL-04, BHRL-05, BHRL-06, BHRL-06B, BHRL-07, BHRL-08, BHRL-09, BHRL-10, BHRL-11, BHRL-12, BHRL-13, BHRL-14, BHRL-15, BHRL-16, BHRL-17, BHRL-18, BHRL-19, BHRL20, BHRL-21, BHRL-22. The device works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain.
The device is only powered by the external power adapter and its IPL emission activation is by finger switch.
The IPL Hair Removal Device has an irreplaceable light exit and it can cover an area of 3.6±0.25cm² (Model BHRL-01, BHRL-02, BHRL-03, BHRL-04, BHRL-07, BHRL-08, BHRL09, BHRL-10) and 2.7±0.25cm² (Model BHRL-05, BHRL-11, BHRL-12, BHRL-13, BHRL-14, BHRL-15, BHRL-16, BHRL-17, BHRL-06, BHRL-06B, BHRL-18, BHRL-19, BHRL-20, BHRL-21, BHRL-22) that is suitable for multiple hair removal areas, such as large areas (e.g. face, arms, legs) and small areas (e.g. armpits, bikini line).
The device contains a skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact, if the light exit is not in full contact with the skin, the device cannot emit the treatment light pulses. Besides, the IPL Hair Removal Device has the cooling function (except model: BHRL-06B), which can be activated throughout the whole hair removal process to cool down the treatment area's temperature and provide the user with a better using experience.
The provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter concerns an IPL Hair Removal Device. It is clear from the document that this device is a physical product (Intense Pulsed Light device) designed for hair removal, not an AI/software-based medical device that would involve a test set for ground truth establishment, expert readers, or MRMC studies.
Therefore, the request to describe acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, focusing on aspects like AI performance, sample size for test sets (in the context of AI models), number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and ground truth establishment for training/test sets, is not applicable to this device clearance.
The performance data provided in the 510(k) summary for this IPL Hair Removal Device focuses on:
- Biocompatibility Evaluation: Ensuring the materials are safe for body contact.
- Electrical Safety and EMC: Compliance with international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards (IEC 60601 series).
- Eye Safety: Compliance with photobiological safety standards (IEC 62471).
- Software Verification and Validation: This refers to the embedded software controlling the device's hardware functions, not an AI algorithm performing diagnostic or therapeutic analysis based on data inputs. The documentation level of concern is "basic."
- Usability: Evaluation according to FDA guidance for human factors.
These are standard testing requirements for physical medical devices and do not involve the types of studies or acceptance criteria that would be relevant for an AI-powered diagnostic or therapeutic algorithm.
Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions related to AI device performance evaluation based on the provided document. The document describes a traditional hardware-based medical device clearance.
§ 878.4810 Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.
(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.
