Indications for Use
The DermaScalp Laser Cap is indicated to promote hair growth in females with Androgenetic Alpopecia who have Ludwig-Savin Classifications I-II and who have Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV.
Device Story
DermaScalp MD and MDX Laser Caps are hands-free, portable, non-invasive low-level laser devices; intended to treat Androgenetic Alopecia and promote hair growth in females. Device consists of a concave scalp covering containing an array of red laser diodes (650 nm wavelength, <5 mW per diode, continuous wave output). User wears the cap for 30-minute sessions; device delivers distributed coherent laser light to the entire scalp via bio-stimulation. Device is intended for prescription use. Performance is verified through bench testing against electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), and laser safety (IEC 60825-1) standards. Clinical benefit is derived from therapeutic bio-stimulation of hair follicles.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), and laser safety (IEC 60825-1 Class 3R). Performance testing verified that the device meets design specifications and operates identically to the predicate devices regarding laser wavelength, power, energy type, and treatment parameters.
Technological Characteristics
Hands-free, portable concave scalp covering; 650 nm red laser diodes; continuous wave output; <5 mW per diode; 80 diodes (MD model) or 224 diodes (MDX model); bio-stimulation modality; ISO 10993-1:2009 compliant materials; IEC 60601-1/60601-1-2 electrical/EMC safety; IEC 60825-1 Class 3R laser classification.
Indications for Use
Indicated for females with Androgenetic Alopecia, Ludwig-Savin Classifications I-II, and Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-IV to promote hair growth.

Dear Mr. Carullo:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

| Device Description: | The DermaScalp MD Laser Cap and the DermaScalp MDX Laser Cap devices<br>are a hands-free, portable, non-invasive, low-level laser device intended to<br>treat Androgenetic Alopecia (Hair Loss) and to promote hair growth in<br>Females. The DermaScalp Laser Cap devices provide distributed red laser<br>light dispersing from a "Concave" scalp covering utilizing laser modules with<br>a 650 nm wavelength, <5 mW output power, producing a continuous wave<br>"CW" output beam. The "Concave" scalp covering is designed to maximize<br>the delivery of the coherent laser light to effectively cover the entire scalp of<br>the user during treatment. |
{4}------------------------------------------------
| Intended Use: | The DermaScalp Laser Cap is indicated to promote hair growth in females with<br>Androgenetic Alpopecia who have Ludwig (Savin) Classifications I-II and<br>who have Fitzpatrick Skin Types I to IV. |

| Technological<br>Characteristics: | The DermaScalp MD Laser Cap and the DermaScalp MDX Laser Cap devices<br>are a hands-free portable device that produce red laser energy dispersed from a<br>"Concave" scalp covering as it rests upon a user's head and creates a laser field<br>that covers the users entire scalp area. The devices produce timed treatments of<br>equally distributed laser energy to the full scalp area. The treatment received<br>from the laser energy promotes hair growth in Females and treats Androgenetic<br>Alopecia (Hair Loss) by the therapeutic modality of bio-stimulation. |
| Biocompatibility<br>Data: | The construction of the DermaScalp MD Laser Cap and the DermaScalp MDX<br>Laser Cap devices do not raise any biocompatibility issues. All the materials<br>used in the construction of the DermaScalp devices adhere to the requirements<br>of ISO 10993-1:2009, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1:<br>Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process. |
| Performance<br>Data: | The evaluation of the perfomance data presented confirms that the DermaScalp<br>MD Laser Cap and the DermaScalp MDX Laser Cap devices have the same or<br>similar Laser Wavelength, Laser Power, Laser Energy Type, Output Mode,<br>Treatment Time, Output Beam, Laser Field Treatment Area, Consumer Usage<br>Focal Length as the FDA Cleared predicate devices.<br><br>Testing to IEC 60601-1 and 60601-1-2 confirm the devices adherence to LVD<br>electrical and EMC safely requirements. Testing to IEC 60825-1 certifies the<br>laser system to classifaction 3R, which is the same as the predicate devices.<br><br>Performance Testing is conducted to confirm compliance to design<br>specifications; all functions were verified to operate as designed. The<br>DermaScalp devices met all acceptance criteria in the performance testing. |
| Conclusions: | The DermaScalp MD Laser Cap and the DermaScalp MDX Laser Cap devices<br>are as safe and effective as the FDA Cleared predicate devices for female<br>treatment and is thefore Substantial Equivalent to the FDA Cleared predicate<br>devices with respect to intended use, technological characteristics and safety<br>characteristics. |
