Comparison discussion
Note 1:
The type of use of the subject device is same to the predicate device. The applicable skin of the subject device is Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-IV, which is different from predicate device 2,K242595(Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-V). However, the applicable skin of subject device is in the range of predicate device 2. Therefore, we consider the subject device with a broader scope of use environment and smaller range of applicable skin does not effect its safety and effectiveness.
Note 2:
The output of power source are different in current among the devices. The subject device and predicate device are supplied by an external power, they are both complied with IEC 60601-1,IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC60601-1-11, the safety and effectiveness of the subject device is verified via tests, so the differences do not affect the safety and effectiveness.
Note 3:
From the comparison table above, the device design between the predicate devices and subject device are mainly equivalent, the specifications of subject device are not completely same.The wavelength, irradiation area, energy density,output energy, output intensity level, pulse duration are similar or within the range of predicate devices. The key parameter for the safety and effectiveness of the hair removal device is energy density.The energy density of the subject device is in the range of that of the predicate devices. The safety and effectiveness of the subject device is verified via tests according to IEC 60601-1,IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 62471 and IEC 60601-2-83, so the differences do not affect the safety and effectiveness.
Note 4:
The "Weight", "Dimension", are belonging to basic physical characteristics. Although it is a bit different from the predicate devices, it will not affect the main function and the intended use of the device. They all also comply with IEC60601-1 requirements. Besides, the subtle change of the physical characteristics will not affect the critical functions or normal use, and not raise any safety or effectiveness issues
Note 5:
The "Operating environment" and "Transportation & Storage environment" of subject devices may be differ from the predicate devices, but they are both compliance with the IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-11 standards, so the difference will not raise any safety or effectiveness Issue.
Note 6:
The "standards" of subject devices is same with predicate device 2 but minor different to the predicate device 1. The subject device is tested according to IEC 60601-2-83, this part of IEC 60601 has been prepared to provide safety requirements for HOME LIGHT THERAPY EQUIPMENT, based on IEC 60601-1 and its collateral standards. the subject is intended to be used in the HOME HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT and is typically used by a LAY OPERATOR, who is familiar with this environment and the
Page 13
specific characteristics of lamps. Some requirements of IEC 60601-1-11 are amended to better suit this type of ME EQUIPMENT and the environment in which it is used. IEC 60601-2-83 is developed because IEC 60601-2-57 only covers light source equipment providing light therapy by means of non-visual photobiological effects, which excludes an important group of light source equipment creating visual photobiological effects. Further, IEC 60601-2-57 focuses on radiation aspects and related markings but hardly provides any product-specific safety requirements. IEC 60601-2-83 is aligned with IEC 60601-1:2005 and IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012, IEC 60601-1-2:2014, IEC 60601-1-6:2010 and IEC 60601-1-6:2010/AMD1:2013, and IEC 60601-1-11:2015. Therefore, this difference will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue.
Performance data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. The device meets all the applicable standards of :
- IEC 60601-1-11:2015+A1:2020 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-11: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Requirements for medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems used in the home healthcare environment
