Intended Use/Indications for Use
The IPL Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body and/ or facial hair.
Indications for Use Comparison
The subject device has the same indications for use as the predicate devices, all are mainly used for removal of unwanted hair.
Technological Comparison
The technical characteristic of PL Hair Removal Device (BE965A, BE965C) are substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices in the following aspects:
- The same intended use, mode of action;
-
- The same source energy and power supply: supplied by external adapter with 100-240V~, 50/60Hz;
-
The same light source: Intense Pulsed Light;
-
The same energy medium: Xenon Arc Flashlamp;
-
The same wavelength: 600-1200nm (same as the secondary predicate and within the range of the primary predicate).
The difference between the subject device and the predicate and reference devices mainly includes the following:
-
Different dimensions: Though the dimensions are different from the predicate devices and reference is insignificant and do not raise any safety or effectiveness problems.
-
Different energy density: The energy density (2.75
6.56)/cm²) of the subject device are a little different from that of the primary predicate device, but they are within the minimum value of the primary predicate device (1.676.67//cm²), and also very close to the value of the secondary predicate device (2.25~6.37J/cm²). -
Different pulse duration: The subject device is double-pulse with a range in 0.82ms
5.32ms. Though the subject device is a little different from the primary predicate device (0.883.20ms), it is the same pulse output mode as the primary predicate device. And the maximum pulse duration of the subject device is within the range of the reference device K241205 (0.88~6.6ms). Thus the subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
