Indications for Use
The Lumilisse IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Hair Remover is an over-the-counter device intended for the removal of unwanted hair.
Device Story
The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover is an over-the-counter, handheld intense pulsed light (IPL) system for home use. It utilizes a quartz light tube to emit pulses of light to remove unwanted hair. The device incorporates a skin color sensor system that automatically regulates light intensity based on detected skin tone, and a capacitance-based skin contact sensor that prevents flashing unless the port is fully covered by skin. It features five intensity levels. The user operates the device by applying the handset to the skin; the device provides light pulses at varying repetition rates depending on the intensity level. The output is intended to reduce hair density and amount. Clinical efficacy is evaluated by the user through observation of hair reduction over time. The device is designed for self-use by adults to achieve hair removal in various body areas.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study conducted on European precursor units (G920/G930) evaluated in-vivo efficacy and cutaneous acceptability on legs, underarms, and upper lips. Results showed significant reduction in hair amount and density. Over 75% hair reduction on legs was maintained for 6 months. Cutaneous acceptability was positive with no device-related safety events. Usability study with 20 participants confirmed ability to correctly use the device per instructions.
Technological Characteristics
IPL system; 550-1200 nm (body) / 600-1200 nm (facial) wavelengths; 2.0-4.5 J/cm² intensity; capacitance-based skin contact sensor; skin tone sensor; 100-240 VAC power; IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-11, 60601-2-57, and IEC 62471 compliant.
Indications for Use
Indicated for removal of unwanted hair in men and women aged 21 and older. Suitable for body (legs, arms), underarms, bikini line, and lower half of face (below cheekbones).
Regulatory Classification

# Device Description:
The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover (Figure 11.1) is a hair-removal device that eliminates unwanted hair from the body (legs and arms), and from more sensitive areas (underarms, bikini line, lower half of the face - below the cheekbones) using intense pulse light technology.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover is an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system consisting of:
- . Handset - contained within the handset is the High Voltage Capacitor, Capacitor Charger, Control Electronics and Firmware, Quartz Light Tube, Cooling System, Skin Tone and Skin Contact Sensors and the firmware for operation and safety.
- External Power Supply – used to convert the electricity from the mains supply (either 110V or 230V, 50/60Hz) to a much lower DC value. This power supply unit is an "off-theshelf" component which meets all the relevant electrical safety standards.
- Skin Color Sensor System - For effective and safe treatment, the Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover is equipped with the Skin Sensor System, a skin color detection system that automatically regulates the light intensity applied to the skin.
- . Levels of Intensity - The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover features 5 levels of intensity, running from the lowest (level 1) to the highest (level of intensity indicates the intensity of the pulsed light applied to the skin when using the Lumilisse Hair Remover.
The Lumilisse Hair Remover can be used by men and women aged 21 and older.
## Device Indications for Use:
The Lumilisse IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Hair Remover is an over-the-counter device intended for the removal of unwanted hair.
#### Discussion of Technological Characteristics:
#### Discussion of Similarities
The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover and the predicate devices have IPL technology, capacitancebased skin contact sensor such that if the flash port is not in direct contact with the skin (covering the entire port) the unit will not flash, skin tone sensors, pulse durations for use, use environment, user group, power source, operating/storage temperature and relative humidity conditions. The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover has the identical wavelengths as the mē.
#### Discussion of Differences K103184:
The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover lowest light intensity reading is 2.0 J/cm² versus predicate's lowest light intensity of 3.0 - 5.0 J/cm² and the Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover wavelength range is 550 nm - 1200 nm versus the predicate device wavelength range of 475 nm - 1200 nm. The differences in light intensity and wavelength raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness.
#### Discussion of Differences K131649:
The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover maximum light intensity is 4.5 J/cm² versus the predicate's maximum light intensity of 4 J/cm² and the difference raises no new issues of safety and effectiveness.
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### Discussion K160968:
The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover has a wavelength of 550-1200m and the predicate has a wavelength of 510-1100nm. The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover has a light intensity of 2.0 J/cm² and the predicate has a maximum optical of 3-6 J/cm². The Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover automatically controls the repetition rate for Level 1.6 seconds and Level 5, 1 pulse every 3.5 seconds, whereas, the predicate states their repetition rate as manually, 1 pulse every 1-2 seconds. The differences in wavelength, light intensive no new issues of safety and effectiveness.

#### Usability Study
A Human Factors Usability study was conducted using 20 participants to demonstrate the participants were capable of reading the instruction manual and were then able to use the Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover correctly. The Conair Lumilisse IPL Hair Remover was found to be safe and effective for the intended users, uses and use environments based on the results of our simulated use study, biocompatibility testing,
#### Clinical Study:
A clinical study was conducted comparing the G920 and G930 IPL Hair Remover (European pre-cursor to the IPL960F Lumilisse Hair Remover) hand-held systems to evaluate the in-vivo efficacy and cutaneous acceptability on the legs and cutaneous acceptability for the underarms and half-upper lips.
Each of the two units had a significant effect in lowering the amount and density of hairs in regions tested. The only safety events appear to be unrelated to the units, themselves. The dermatological evaluation was positive for safety, and the final study results, for the large majority of the test Subjects, was that the units had the desired effects.
The comparative study concluded the Lumilisse Hair Remover reduction results last for 6 months with over 75% less hair on legs and concluded cutaneous acceptability for legs, underarms and half-upper lip.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The study concluded Lumilisse Hair Removal Systems as safe and effective when used according to instructions.
## Conclusion
In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification, Conair concludes that the Lumilisse IPL Hair Removal System is substantially equivalent to predicate devices with regard to safety and effectiveness.
