#### 10. Comparison to predicate device and conclusion
The technological characteristics, features, specifications, materials, and intended use of IPL Hair Removal Device, model: UI04A, UI04C is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices quoted above.
IPL Hair Removal Device relies on the same technology as both predicate devices: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Their energy source is the same: Xenon Arc Flashlamp.
The safety and efficacy of IPL treatment for hair reduction are governed by the following parameters:
· Wavelength of the emitted light (spectrum): Defines the interaction with specific chromophores (the part of the molecule responsible for its color) such as melanin, hemoglobin and water. IPL Hair Removal Device and the predicate devices utilize the same spectrum(550-1200nm).
• Fluence/flux – defines the energy per area (e.g. joules per cm²) for the treatment. IPL Hair Removal Device and the predicate devices deliver the same maximum energy (6 J/cm2).
The differences between the subject device and predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.
#### Conclusion:
The subject device "IPL Hair Removal Device, Model: UI04A, UI04B, UI04C" is substantial equivalent to all predicate devices.
