Indications include the incision, excision, dissection, vaporization, ablation or coagulation of soft tissue.
Device Description
The CardioFocus Diode Laser Ablation System is a generator designed for the delivery of 980nm laser light and may be used in conjunction with surgical treatment for hemostasis, incision, ablation, coagulation and vaporization of tissue as required by the clinician. The instrument includes a diode laser module as the therapeutic energy source, as well as an internal thermal safety system for monitoring and disabling laser power output.
More Information

No
The summary describes a laser system for soft tissue procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as a "diode laser module as the therapeutic energy source" and is used for "delivery of 980nm laser light to soft tissue... for hemostasis, incision, ablation, coagulation and vaporization of tissue," which directly aligns with therapeutic applications.

No
The device description indicates its intended use is for surgical procedures (incision, excision, dissection, vaporization, ablation or coagulation of soft tissue) and hemostasis, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "generator designed for the delivery of 980nm laser light" and includes a "diode laser module as the therapeutic energy source," indicating it is a hardware device that emits laser energy.

Based on the provided information, the CardioFocus Diode Laser System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for delivering laser light to soft tissue during surgical procedures for actions like incision, excision, dissection, vaporization, ablation, or coagulation. This is a therapeutic or surgical intervention performed on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role as a generator for delivering laser light for surgical treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to analyze samples from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is used to directly treat tissue within the body.

  • Thermal Safety System (TSS): the thermal safety system is a safety 0 circuit, intended to monitor the black body radiation associated with excessive heating in the disposable device and associated optics and to disable the laser in the event that excessive black body radiation is detected.
  • Optics Module: the optics module is an optical sub-system which . provides means for delivering laser energy and collecting white light energy from the delivery device and also provides means for directing black body radiation from the disposable device to the safety system IR detector.
  • User Interface: the user interface provides means for information . display to the user as well as a mechanism for user input. The user interface for the laser instrument will likely include an LCD display and a keypad.
  • Foot Switch: the laser instrument will interface to a foot switch for . on/off control of the laser emission.
  • Diode Driver: the diode driver block represents the electronics ● required to control power supplied to the laser module
  • . Diode Module: the diode module is a purchased component, comprised of a series of laser diodes, which produces the output laser energy.
  • . Power Supply: an AC/DC power supply provides DC power necessary to run the system electronic components. The supply is internal to the laser instrument.
