Intended Use
The LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator is intended to be used for ablation of skin tissue to establish capillary blood access. The LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator general indication for use is for the perforation of skin to draw capillary blood for screening purposes. The device is specifically indicated for obtaining capillary blood samples for subsequent analysis of blood glucose concentration in both institutional and home settings.
Device Description
The LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator is a pulsed erbium doped yittrium-aluminumgamet (Er: YAG) laser. It outputs a single pulse of laser light with a wavelength of 2940 nm, which ablates a small hole in the skin to a depth sufficient to access capillary blood.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the laser technology for skin perforation and does not mention any AI or ML components. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is used for skin perforation to draw capillary blood for screening purposes, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is used to obtain capillary blood samples for subsequent analysis, but it does not perform the analysis itself. Therefore, it is not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "pulsed erbium doped yittrium-aluminumgamet (Er: YAG) laser" and outputs a "single pulse of laser light," indicating it is a hardware device that physically interacts with the skin.

Based on the provided information, the LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. Examples include blood glucose meters, pregnancy tests, and laboratory analyzers.
  • The LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator's intended use is to obtain a capillary blood sample by perforating the skin. It is a tool for sample collection, not for analyzing the sample itself.
  • The description explicitly states its purpose is "for the perforation of skin to draw capillary blood for screening purposes" and "for obtaining capillary blood samples for subsequent analysis." This clearly indicates it's a pre-analytical device, facilitating the collection of a sample that will then be analyzed by a separate device (like a blood glucose meter).

Therefore, the LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator is a medical device used for sample collection, but it does not perform the in vitro diagnostic analysis itself.

Substantial Equivalence: 3.

The LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator substantially equivalent to the current, legally marketed LASETTE™ (K983673) and (K981746). The LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator has the same intended use and general and specific indications as both of predicated Lasette devices. These devices have very similar principles of operation and technological characteristics. The minor technological differences do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that LightLance™ is as safe and effective as the Lasette.

Device Description: 4.

The LightLance™ Laser Skin Perforator is a pulsed erbium doped yittrium-aluminumgamet (Er: YAG) laser. It outputs a single pulse of laser light with a wavelength of 2940 nm, which ablates a small hole in the skin to a depth sufficient to access capillary blood.
