Amount of laser diodes of the subject device can be corresponding to that of the
predicate devices. The difference in number of diodes is of no consequence and
does not affect safety or efficacy as there is a wide range of number of diodes in
the predicate devices listed and in other LLLT devices cleared under product
code OAP. Thus, we consider the subject device is substantially equivalent to the
predicate devices. | | | | | | Energy of per

The safety and performance tests have been conducted on subject device, and the results complied with the test requests. Testing to IEC 60825-1 certifies the laser system to classification 3R, same as the predicates. The subject device has the same safety and performance claims, principle of {9}------------------------------------------------ operation, and similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Although there are slight difference on few specifications between the subject device and the predicate devices, after comparison analyzed considering test results, the difference did not raise any problem of substantial equivalence. No new safety or efficacy concerns are raised due to the minor differences present between devices. ## 5.10 Non-clinical Testing A series of safety and performance tests were conducted on the subject device, Laser Hair Growth Cap (model number: TW280, TW272, TW147, and TW080). - .
