Date Prepared: July 20, 2021 Revised
#### Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models, 272 and 148 are indicated to promote hair growth in females with androgenetic alopecia who have Ludwig-Savin Classifications of I - II, males who have Norwood-Hamilton Classifications of IIa - V and for both, Fitzpatrick Classification of Skin Phototypes I to IV.
### Technological Characteristics
The Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models 272 and 148 consist of 272 diode lasers or 148 diode lasers configured within an outer cap helmet and protective inner liner. The use of diode lasers provides for a full coverage of the upper 1/3 of the head i.e., the area commonly covered with stylized hair. The Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models 272 and 148 are powered by a lithium-ion battery pack that contains an embedded controller chip.
#### Performance Data:
No clinical performance data was produced for this submission because the Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models 272 and 148 are the same device as the Cleared predicates, the Diode Laser Cap (K173678) and the Grivamax Hair Growth System(K171895). Both predicates are IDENTICAL devices offered for PRIVATE LABEL by the manufacturer, Cosmo Far East Technology Limited. They are the same device in optical, electronic, mechanical function and aesthetic appearance, as well as the same recommended clinical treatment regime.
#### Substantial Equivalence
Both the proposed devices, of which the Grivamax Hair Growth System is Cleared under (K171895) and the Diodes Laser Cap, Cleared under (K173678) use red light diode lasers are classified as class IIIa/3R laser systems by the IEC standard for allowable emission levels, which is a recognized standard by the FDA as well, and the adverse event profile is the same. The sponsor believes that there is no difference in the physical appearance or in the method of delivering the radiant energy of the two systems and therefore, there are no variations in the therapeutic value or safety profile.
Finally, the summarized data contained in the Predicates and Proposed devices in the following chart confirms the safety and efficacy of the device and accordingly, the Proposed devices, Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models 272 and 148 should be granted a 510(k) Clearance for Overthe-Counter Use per Part 21 CFR 801 Subpart C. For these reasons, the Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models 272 and 148 overwhelmingly satisfy the FDA's substantial equivalence with respect to intended use, technological and design characteristics.
{6}------------------------------------------------
### Treatment Protocol
The Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models 272 and 148 and the Diode Laser Cap devices possess the same treatment regime of 30 minutes, every other day, on non-consecutive days, for the initial treatment regime of 16 weeks.

# Over - The - Counter Testing Program
No OTC testing was performed for this submission because the User Manual and packaging contents for the predicates. While some of the language contained in the User Manuals of the Proposed devices may differ, these differences do not alter the Self Selection. Hazards and Precautions, or Usability criteria. The only major exception is color and logo of the subject device literature. The graphic changes do not alter the content of the User Manual, the key variable in any OTC testing evaluation. The aesthetic appearance of the proposed devices, the predicates devices and the reference devices all use the same exterior black shell and interior clear shells. The dimensions of the shells are also equivalent.
# Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility Testing Performance
The Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models 272 and 148 were not evaluated for conformance to recognized international standards.
Biocompatibility, electrical safety and EMC testing is not needed in this submission because the subject device is identical to the predicate devices in these aspects.
# Shelf Life
The Usable life expectancy for this device is 10.000 hours based on the specifications for the laser diode and 5 years for the overall usable life of the Grivamax Family of Lasers, Models 272 and 148
# Electrical Safety Testing Performance
The Grivamax Hair Growth System and Diode Laser Cap were evaluated for conformance to recognized international standards. The following is a list of these evaluations and tests that were found to be in conformance:
- 1. IEC 60825-1 Edition 3.0 2014 Safety of Laser Products Part 1: Equipment Classification and Requirements.
- 2. IEC 60601-1-2-22 Edition 3.1 2012-10 Basic Safety and Essential Performance
# Conclusion
Based on the technical comparisons between the Grivamax Hair Growth Lasers (K171895) and the Diode Laser Cap (K173678) which are the same as the Proposed devices, it can be concluded that the proposed devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in technical specifications. Since the proposed devices are currently being marketed with an OTC Indication for Use, therefore, with no modifications in manufacturing, the proposed devices and predicates do not raise any issues of safety or efficacv.
The summary includes the conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests ((discussed above) that demonstrate that the devices are as safe and as effective and perform as well as or better than the predicate devices.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
