Indications for Use
The Planar LED mate is a prescription-use only device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair.
Device Story
Planar LED mate is a prescription-use handheld device for removal of unwanted body and facial hair. It utilizes a diode LED light source (780-850 nm) to target melanin in hair follicles via selective photothermolysis. The device is powered by an external AC adapter and activated by a finger switch. A capacitive sensor ensures the device is in full contact with the skin before light emission occurs. The device features 5 levels of output intensity. It is intended for single-person use. By heating the hair follicle, the device damages the tissue to reduce hair growth. The healthcare provider prescribes the device, and the patient performs the treatment at home. The device provides a non-invasive method for hair reduction.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only, including performance testing for energy output accuracy, biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10), electrical safety, and usability/label comprehension studies.
Technological Characteristics
Diode LED light source (780-850 nm); 8mm x 8mm spot size; 9.5-25J/cm² output intensity; 108-320ms pulse duration. Powered by AC 100-240V. Capacitive skin contact sensor. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-5/10. Electrical safety per ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11. EMC per IEC 60601-1-2. Photobiological safety per IEC 62471 and IEC 60601-2-83.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair in patients requiring prescription-use hair removal.

### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Planar LED mate is a prescription-use only device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair. It utilizes a diode LED as a light source (780-850 nm). lt works below the skin's surface and does not involve any cutting or pulling, reducing hair growth with minimal pain. The device is only powered by the external power adapter and its emission activation is by finger switch.
The device contains a capacitive sensor to detect appropriate skin contact. If the device is not properly applied to the treatment area (in full contact with the skin), the device cannot emit the treatment light. The device is for single-person use only.

Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for LEAFLIFE. The logo is in blue and green, and it features a stylized leaf. The word "LEAFLIFE" is written in a modern font, with the letters connected to each other. There is also some Chinese text below the word "LEAFLIFE".
The proposed Planar LED mate is equipped with a light depilation function that is based on the theory of selective photo thermolysis. There is abundant melanin in the hair follicle and hair stem. The melanin is distributed amidst the cells between the hair ball substrate and it can be transferred to the structure of hair stems (such as medulla, cortex, and hair cuticle). The Near infrared light can precisely target the melanin and apply the depilation treatment selectively. After the melanin absorbs Near infrared light energy, the temperature rises, in this way, the surrounding hair follicle tissues are damaged, and the hairs are removed.
The device has 5 level Output Intensity.
#### V. INTENDED USE
The Planar LED mate is a prescription-use only device intended for removal of unwanted body and/or facial hair.
## vi. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The Planar LED mate (LH-LNIRS) emits light energy to reduce hair growth, although compared to the predicate devices there may be differences in wavelengths, pulse durations, treatment spot sizes, and energy intensities. Please refer to the following table for details:

#### Discussion
The Planar LED mate (LH-LNRS) device, the K222316, devices are handheld devices, while the K220103 is a larger console device. The handheld designs allow them to be more easily transported and stored by users who can administer their own hair removal treatments. The wavelength range, pulse durations, and output intensities, of the Planar LED mate are similar to those the K142845 and K222316 devices, although difference may lead to some differences in the results seen with over-the-counter devices such as K142845 (diode laser) and K221316 (PL). The wavelength range characteristics of the Planar LED mate (LH-LNIRS) are considered to be essentially the same as the K220103 device, and while the maximum pulse duration are less, the Planar LED mate (LH-LNIRS) device's output characteristics are considered to be acceptable for this prescription-use only device for the intended use of hair removal.
