The document describes a laser system with a computer interface for controlling parameters, but there is no mention of AI or ML capabilities for image processing, diagnosis, or treatment planning.
Yes
The device is intended for medical applications such as incision/excision, ablation, coagulation, and photocoagulation of lesions, all of which are therapeutic interventions. Additionally, the performance studies section explicitly mentions compliance with "IEC 601-2-22; Therapeutic Laser Equipment Safety."
No.
The device is intended for therapeutic interventions such as incision/excision, ablation, coagulation, and photocoagulation, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a laser unit, cooler, footswitch, and hand pieces, indicating it is a physical medical device system, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes procedures performed directly on the patient's body (incision/excision, ablation, coagulation, photocoagulation of lesions and veins). IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The device description details a laser system with handpieces designed for direct application to the skin. This is consistent with a therapeutic or surgical device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.
The device is clearly intended for therapeutic and surgical procedures performed in vivo (on a living organism), not in vitro (in a lab setting).

Device Description
The Aramis Dermatologic Laser is an Er-glass 1.54 um system. The computer system consists of a laser unit, a cooler, a footswitch, and a 2mm or 4mm hand piece. The 4mm hand piece is gas-cooled to provide actual skin cooling. Laser parameters and other system features are controlled from the touch-buttons on top of the laser unit, which provides an interface to the system computer.

Intended Use
The Aramis is intended to be used for incision/excision, ablation, and coagulation (homeostasis) of soft tissue. The Aramis Laser is also indicated for the photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions, including photothermolysis of blood vessels (treatment of facial and leg veins) and the treatment of benign pigmented lesions.
Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
The Aramis Dermatologic Laser is an Er-glass 1.54 um system. The computer system consists of a laser unit, a cooler, a footswitch, and a 2mm or 4mm hand piece. The 4mm hand piece is gas-cooled to provide actual skin cooling. Laser parameters and other system features are controlled from the touch-buttons on top of the laser unit, which provides an interface to the system computer.
The Aramis is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Palomar Aramis Dermatologic Laser powered surgical lasers in intended use, indications for use, principles of operation, and technological features. Any minor differences do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
Performance Data
The Aramis complies with 21 C.F.R. §§ 1040.10 and 1040.11, as well as the following voluntary performance standards:
- UL544; Electrical Leakage ●
- IEC 60-601-1; Power Supply and Enclosure ●
