Summary of Device Performance Claim Basis for Hair Growth:
The claim about promoting hair growth is based on:
- Substantial Equivalence: The primary strategy for clearance is demonstrating that the CurrentBody Skin Dual Light Hair Growth Helmet is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices (K231153: Neuhat Hair Growth System; K240456: Bosley Booster Laser Caps). The predicate devices were previously cleared for the same indication (promote hair growth in specific Norwood-Hamilton and Ludwig-Savin classifications with Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes I-IV).
- Similarity in Design and Parameters: The submission highlights similarities in the intended use, indications for use, type of light (low-level laser and LED), wavelength (very close to predicates), number of diodes, energy per laser diode, and treatment time/irradiance (very close to predicates). The argument is that these similarities mean the subject device will have a similar therapeutic effect to the already-cleared predicate devices.
- Non-Clinical Data: As detailed in the table above, the non-clinical testing ensures the device meets safety standards (electrical, EMC, photobiological, battery, biocompatibility, software) which indirectly supports its safe use for its intended purpose without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicates.

The HIGHERDOSE Red Light Hat is a home wearable light-emitting diode phototherapy device with proven wavelengths of light 650nm±10nm Red light, which are used to treat Androgenetic Alopecia and promote hair growth in males who have Nowood- Hamilton Classifications of Ila - V patterns of hair loss and to treat Androgenetic Alopecia and promote hair growth in females who have Ludwig-Savin Scale I-1 to I-4, II-1, II-2 or frontal patterns of hair loss; both with Fitzpatrick Skin Types I - IV.
The device is designed as wearable product, and it consists of the main unit, the controller and a power cable, as well as it is powered by the built-in rechargeable lithium battery.
The hat compromises of 2 surfaces. An inner surface that contacts the skin and an outer surface. Both surfaces are constructed of cotton.
The controller contains a rechargeable Lithium battery, the power supply (adaptor) is used to charge the Lithium battery and is connected to a suitable mains outlet via a 2 or 3 pin input socket and wall plug. The HIGHERDOSE Red Light Hat cannot be operated while charging. The controller switches the LEDs ON/OFF. Switch the controller ON and allow the hat to run for 10 minutes treatment program. The cable for connecting with the controller is detachable.
The device is not used to make measurements of any sort, or to draw any conclusions regarding the indication to treat. The device does not require checks on the light output as the LEDs do not dim with age to any practical extent.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the HIGHERDOSE Red Light Hat (HG-120K), seeking substantial equivalence to predicate devices for treating Androgenetic Alopecia and promoting hair growth.
However, the documentation does not contain information regarding a clinical study with acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to hair growth outcomes. Instead, it focuses on non-clinical performance testing (electrical safety, EMC, usability, software verification, and biocompatibility) to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for a device marketed as an Over-The-Counter Infrared Lamp.
The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not needed for this 510(k). The non-clinical performance testing described above is sufficient to support that the device can be used safely and effectively." This means that the FDA's clearance for this device was based on a comparison to predicate devices and engineering/safety tests, not on new clinical data demonstrating its efficacy in hair growth.
Therefore, it is not possible to extract the requested information from the provided text regarding:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for hair growth.
- Sample size and data provenance for a test set proving hair growth efficacy.
- Number and qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment for hair growth.
- Adjudication method for a hair growth test set.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study for human readers with and without AI assistance for hair growth.
- Standalone performance of an algorithm without human-in-the-loop for hair growth.
- Type of ground truth used for a hair growth study.
- Sample size for a training set (as no AI algorithm for diagnosis/prognosis is implied).
- How ground truth for a training set was established.
The document primarily addresses the substantial equivalence requirements by comparing the technical specifications and intended use of the HIGHERDOSE Red Light Hat with previously cleared infrared lamp devices, and by demonstrating compliance with relevant electrical and safety standards.

The device has only one key for switching on and off the device and it will automatically shut down after a 10-minute treatment is completed.
This document is a 510(k) Summary for a medical device (Hair Growth Comb, Models SZ-23, SZ-23A). It provides information regarding the device's substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices, primarily focusing on its technical characteristics and safety testing.
Crucially, this document states: "Clinical testing was not needed for this 510(k)." This means that the submission does not include a clinical study designed to prove the device meets specific performance criteria related to the effectiveness of promoting hair growth. Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, study design, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment cannot be extracted from this document in the context of device performance regarding its intended clinical effect.
The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context refer to non-clinical testing for safety and electrical/software compliance, not clinical efficacy.
However, I can provide information based on the other aspects of the document:
Based on the provided 510(k) Summary, the following information can be extracted:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
As no clinical efficacy study was conducted for this 510(k), there are no clinical performance acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to hair growth in this document. The "acceptance criteria" mentioned are related to safety and functional compliance.
| Acceptance Criteria (Non-Clinical) | Reported Device Performance (as stated in document) |
|---|---|
| Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility: | Conforms to voluntary design standards: - ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1: 2005 & A1:2012 & A2:2021 - IEC 60601-1-11: 2015+AMD1:2020 - IEC 60601-2-57: 2023 - IEC 60601-1-2: 2014+AMD1:2020 - IEC 62471: 2006 - IEC 62133-2: 2017+AMD1:2021 - IEC 60601-1-6: 2010+AMD1:2013+AMD2:2020 - IEC 62366-1: 2015+AMD1:2020 |
| Biocompatibility: (for PC+ABS shell, surface-skin contact, <24 hours duration) - Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5) - Sensitization (ISO 10993-10) - Irritation or intracutaneous reactivity (ISO 10993-10) | Complied with ISO 10993-5 (Cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (Irritation and Sensitization). "Hair Growth Comb (Model: SA-23, SA-23A) is biocompatible for its intended use." |
| Software verification and validation: (for "basic" level software, where failure could lead to minor injury) | Conducted and documentation provided as recommended by IEC 62304 and FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Clinical Test Set: Not applicable. "Clinical testing was not needed for this 510(k)." The testing described is non-clinical (electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility, software).
- Data Provenance for Non-Clinical Tests: Performed by the manufacturer (Shenzhen Nuon Medical Equipment Co., Ltd) or contracted labs, adhering to international standards. The document doesn't specify countries of origin for test data, but the manufacturer is based in China. This is a pre-market submission, so the testing would be conducted retrospectively to the submission date.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable for clinical ground truth related to hair growth efficacy, as no clinical study was conducted.
- For non-clinical testing, the "ground truth" is established by compliance with international standards (e.g., ISO, IEC) and the expertise lies within the testing laboratories and their personnel. The document does not specify the number or qualifications of these experts.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable for clinical efficacy. For non-clinical compliance testing, "adjudication" in the sense of expert consensus on ambiguous cases is not a relevant concept. Compliance is determined by meeting pre-defined test parameters outlined in the standards.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- Not applicable. This device is a physical comb that emits LED light, not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers. No MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This device is a physical therapeutic device, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- Clinical Ground Truth: Not applicable, as no clinical efficacy study was conducted for hair growth. The substantiation for efficacy relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices which were presumably cleared based on prior clinical data or deemed effective through other means (historical data, published literature, etc.).
- Non-Clinical Ground Truth: Established by adherence to recognized international standards for electrical safety (IEC 60601 series, IEC 62471), battery safety (IEC 62133-2), biocompatibility (ISO 10993 series), and software validation (IEC 62304, FDA Guidance).
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable for clinical efficacy, as no clinical study was conducted. For non-clinical tests, "training set" is not a relevant concept.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable.
