#### 4. Device Description
{4}------------------------------------------------
The IPL Hair Removal is a personal. light-based, hair reduction device intended to be sold over-thecounter directly to the end user. The device provides hair reduction using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. It 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 IPL emission activation is by finger switch. The device mainly contains a Xenon lamp and a skin 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 pulses. The device is for single-person use only. For model SL-B287 and SL-B329, they consist of IPL beauty device main body and power adapter (12V3A) two parts, and one non-removable lamp head (light-emitting treatment window) located in the main body which is the source of optical radiation, namely a Xenon flashlamp. In addition, the device is equipped with a manual shaver and sunglass.
The user can control the device effectively by the buttons on the main unit. There are 3 operation buttons: Power button (turning on/off the device, select light intensity level), Flash button (to start flashing) and loe Cooling button (to select ice cooling mode and switch manual / auto flash mode).
For model SL-B301-1 and SL-B328, consisting of an IPL beauty device main body and power adapter (12V2A) two parts, and one non-removable lamp head (light-emitting treatment window) located in the main body which is the source of optical radiation, namely a Xenon flashlamp. In addition, the device is equipped with a manual shaver, sunglass and replacement lampshade.
The user can control the device effectively by the buttons on the main unit. There are 2 operation buttons: Power button (turning on/off the device and selecting the level of gears) and Mode/Flash button.

# Comparison in Detail(s):
# Note 1:
Althouqh the "Pulse duration" and "Enerqy density" of the subject device is slightly different from that of the predicate device, the values of the pulse duration and energy density of the subject device are within the range of the reference device. So, this difference will not raise any safety or effectiveness issue.
# Note 2:
Although the "Spot size (size of treatment window)" of subject device is a little different from the predicate device, the difference in treatment window size is due to different designs. So, we believe that these differences will not affect the device's performance.
