## Indications for Use

The LG Pra.L Derma LD Scalp Care is indicated to promote hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia who have Hamilton-Norwood Classifications of IIa-V and females with androgenetic alopecia who have Ludwig-Savin Classifications of I-II and Fitzpatrick Classification of Skin Phototypes I to IV.

## Device Story

Dome-shaped helmet device for home use; treats androgenetic alopecia via low-level light therapy. Input: electrical power; Transformation: 250 light sources (laser diodes 650-667nm; LEDs 645-665nm) deliver 5mW per point to scalp; Output: light energy absorbed by scalp. Operated by patient via controller (power, mode selection, treatment start/pause) or smartphone app via Bluetooth. Device features automatic power-off post-treatment and battery charging cradle. Benefits patient by promoting hair growth; healthcare provider does not interact with device output.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via wavelength, output power, and irradiance measurements. Safety validated per ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60825-1. Usability study with 34 participants demonstrated ability to understand labeling and safely operate the device.

## Technological Characteristics

Dome-shaped helmet; 250 light sources (laser diodes 650-667nm, LEDs 645-665nm); 5mW output per point. Connectivity: Bluetooth to smartphone app. Standards: ES 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60825-1 (laser safety), ISO 14971 (risk management), ISO 62366-1 (usability).

## Regulatory Identification

An infrared lamp is a device intended for medical purposes that emits energy at infrared frequencies (approximately 700 nanometers to 50,000 nanometers) to provide topical heating.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an infrared therapeutic heating lamp, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 890.9.

## Predicate Devices

- IllumiFlow Laser Cap ([K162071](/device/K162071.md))

## Reference Devices

- iGrow II Hair Growth System ([K140931](/device/K140931.md))

Dear Do-Hyun Kim:

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. 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 located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/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 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

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

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 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; 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 https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

For comprehensive regulatory information about mediation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.

### LG Pra.L Derma LD Scalp Care 510(k) Summary

Reference Device: Apira Science, Inc's iGrow II Hair Growth System (K140931).

## 6.4 Device Description

The LG Pra.L Derma LD Scalp Care utilizes a combination of laser diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). 5-milliwatt laser diodes emit light from a range of wavelengths of about 650 nm to 667 nm, which is combined with light from 5 milliwatt LEDs emitting wavelengths from about 645nm to 665 nm. The combined light is absorbed by the scalp.

The LG Pra.L Derma LD Scalp Care is a dome shaped helmet with laser diodes and LEDs on the inside surface. By connecting a controller, the user can power the device on and off, start and pause treatment, and change the care mode. In addition, there is a charging cradle to place the controller in to charge the battery, and the status of the battery is displayed on the controller's indicator. The device can also be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth to a Smartphone App in order to manage treatment. After a treatment is completed, the LG Pra.L Derma LD Scalp Care device can automatically power off the laser, LEDs and controllers.

## 6.5 Indications / Intended Use

The LG Pra.L Derma LD Scalp Care is indicated to promote hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia who have Hamilton-Norwood Classifications of IIa-V and females with androgenetic alopecia who have Ludwig-Savin Classifications of I-II and Fitzpatrick Classification of Skin Phototypes I to IV.

## 6.6 Performance Data

Non-clinical tests: Measurement of wavelength, average output power, and total irradiance (power density, in units of J/cm2) of treatment LEDs and LDs were Other performance, such as safety of laser product, electromagnetic performed. compatibility and electrical safety, etc, were tested using following consensus standards:

{5}------------------------------------------------
