## Indications for Use

Promotion of hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia who have Norwood Hamilton Classifications of IIa to V and Fitzpatrick Classification Skin Phototypes I to IV.

## Device Story

Hair Up is a helmet-based system for home use by patients to promote hair growth. The device utilizes 21 red visible laser diodes (LDs) and 30 red light emitting diodes (LEDs) at a 655 nm wavelength to provide coverage to the upper 1/3 of the head. The system operates via a 20-25 minute therapy cycle. It includes an automatic pause feature if the head position is incorrect and provides a signal upon completion of the therapy cycle. The device is intended for self-administration by the patient.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data included measurement of wavelength and average output power. Safety and performance were evaluated against IEC 60601-1 (basic safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (electromagnetic disturbances), IEC 60825-1 (laser safety), and ISO 10993-5/10 (biocompatibility).

## Technological Characteristics

Helmet form factor; 21 red laser diodes (LDs) and 30 red light emitting diodes (LEDs); 655 nm wavelength; 5 mW maximum power; AC 100V-240V input; 5V 2A power; IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60825-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 14971, and IEC 62366 compliance.

## Regulatory Identification

Dear Ms. Joo:

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

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 (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in

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

the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.

### 4. Device Description

{4}------------------------------------------------

#### Hair Up

#### 510(k) Summary

Hair Up shares great similarities with predicate device which is currently market cleared for promotion of hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia who have Norwood Hamilton Classifications of IIa to V and Fitzpatrick Classification Skin Phototypes I to IV.

Both Hair Up and its predicate device both consist of 21 red visible laser diodes (LDs) and 30 red light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured within an outer helmet and protective inner liner. The use of LDs and LEDs provides for a full coverage of the upper 1/3 of the head where commonly covered with stylized hair. The system will automatically pause therapy when the correct head position is re-established. At the end of the therapy cycle, the system signals that therapy is complete and ready to be powered down.

#### 5. Indications / Intended Use

Promotion of hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia who have Norwood Hamilton Classifications of IIa to V and Fitzpatrick Classification Skin Phototypes I to IV.
