The summary describes a pulsed-dye laser with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms.
Yes
The device is indicated for use in treating periocular wrinkles, which is a therapeutic application.
No
The device description indicates it is a laser used for treatment in dermatological and plastic surgery applications, specifically for periocular wrinkles. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or process images for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical laser system with significant weight and dimensions, requiring electrical power, and activated by physical switches. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "Dermatological and Plastic Surgery applications and the treatment of periocular wrinkles." This describes a therapeutic or cosmetic treatment applied directly to the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a laser device used for delivering energy to tissue. This is consistent with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
In vitro diagnostics are tests performed outside of the living body, usually on biological samples, to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Cynosure PhotoGenica VL laser is a device used for direct treatment on the patient.

Dear Mr. Cho:
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. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
