s.r.l., and Actus 15 systems) are sold solely as unspecified
components for O.E.M. use. The modules do not include safety
shutter or other features required for a certified laser system.
Therefore, these units do not meet CDRH safety requirements
and are not CDRH listed or certified. It is the purchaser's
responsibility to meet applicable federal regulations contained
in Title 21 CFR parts 1000 and 1040.10 chapter 1, subchapter
Radiological Health. Although these systems are linked directly
to information regarding laser hair removal. they are not specified
as medical lasers. Should the customer use one of these systems
for hair removal, it is done at their own risk. Physicians
in the US must submit an investigational device exemption to
the Center for Devices and Radiological Health Department prior
to use on human subjects.
