No
The summary describes a pulsed light system with standard components (power supply, cooling, microcontroller, handpiece) and makes no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions and the removal of tattoos, which are therapeutic applications.

No
The device is indicated for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions and tattoo removal, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of hardware components: a cabinet housing power supply, cooling system, and microcontroller, an umbilical, and a handpiece housing a waveguide. This is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the ProLite Pulsed Light System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions and the removal of tattoos. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that delivers pulsed light to the body. This is consistent with a therapeutic device, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on specimens, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the ProLite Pulsed Light System falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Hoy:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
