Intended Use

Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter device intended for removal of unwanted body hair and/or facial hair.

Device Story

Hair Removal Device is an over-the-counter, home-use IPL system for hair reduction. Device consists of an IPL host and external power adapter. Host components include a xenon arc flashlamp, optical filter, display, buttons, cooling system (metal or sapphire), and fan. User operates device by placing the treatment window against skin; a skin sensor prevents light emission unless full contact is achieved. Light pulses are triggered via manual finger switch or auto-emission mode. Device transforms electrical energy into pulsed light (530-1200nm) to target hair follicles below the skin surface. Cooling function is integrated to improve user comfort. Healthcare providers are not involved in operation; users self-administer treatment. Output is light energy; effect is reduction of hair growth. Device benefits patient by providing a non-invasive, pain-minimized method for hair removal.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, -10, -23), electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, -1-2, -1-11, -2-83), photobiological safety (IEC 62471), and usability (IEC 60601-1-6).

Technological Characteristics

IPL-based hair removal device. Energy source: external power adapter (100-240V, 50/60Hz). Light source: Xenon arc flashlamp. Wavelength: 530-1200nm. Treatment window: metal or sapphire (Pro models).

Dear Riley Chen:

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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrb/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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

{1}------------------------------------------------

Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

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 device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

# IV. Device Description

Hair Removal Device (Model: R3C16-P, R3C16-G; R3C16-P Pro, R3C16-W Pro, R3C16-G Pro, R3505-W, R3505-B, R3505-W Pro, R3505-B Pro), is an over-the-counter, home-use and personal device for hair reduction based on Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). It works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain.

Hair Removal Device includes two series (R3C16 series) with a total of 10 models. The two series products adopt identical intended use, similar performance and operation, consisting of IPL host and power adapter, which the host is mainly composed of lamp tube, filter, display screen, buttons, thermoelectric cooler, fan, and DC socket.

The device is only powered by the external power adapter. The device is fitted with a skin sensor to detect appropriate skin contact, if the treatment window of the device is not in full contact with the skin, the device cannot emit light pulses, and the IPL emission is by manual finger switch or auto light emission. All models of the Hair Removal Device have a cooling function for a better hair removal experience, but the main difference is that the model with "Pro" in the model name is equipped with sapphire while the model without "Pro" uses metal treatment window surface. The difference of design between models are listed below:
