# 4. Device description
IPL Hair Removal Device, models: Al01, Al06, Al08, Al16, Al17 are hand-held overthe-counter devices for the permanent reduction of hair growth based on Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). The device is powered by an external power adapter and its IPL emission activation is by finger switch. The device contains a Xenon arc flashlamp, a skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact, and a skin color detection system to detect the skin color. If the device is not properly applied to the treatment area (in full contact with the skin), the device cannot emit the treatment light pulses. The skin color detection system detects whether a skin tone is suitable for treatment. If the skin tone is not in the range suitable for treatment, the device is designed to not emit the treatment light pulses. The light pulses are selectively absorbed by the hair follicles, which results in the hair follicles being temporarily heated. This results in a reduction of hair growth from the treated hair follicles.

## 7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Safety and
#### effectiveness are as follows
The modifications to the device have been designed and assessed under design control processes compliant with FDA 21 CFR 820. A risk analysis was conducted to assess the impact of the changes on the subject device using internal design control procedures and a fault tree analysis described in the FDA-recognized version of ISO 14971.
These risks were mitigated using planned measures that included testing to recognized FDA consensus standards. Changes in software were verified and validated using the software development process.
Non-clinical testing listed in the table below was performed to demonstrate that the device can be used safely and effectively for the proposed indications for use.

# 9. Conclusions
The subject device IPL Hair Removal Device models Al01, Al06, Al08, Al16, and Al17, in this 510(k) use the same IPL technology that is used in the predicate device K212897. Differences between the subject device models and predicate device do not raise new types of questions regarding safety and effectiveness, and performance testing demonstrates that the proposed device can be used safely and effectively for the proposed indications for use. The proposed IPL Hair Removal Device is considered to be substantially equivalent to the predicate K212897 device.
