No
The document describes a laser system for surgical and aesthetic applications. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section. The device appears to be a traditional laser system with control electronics and software for operating the laser and cooling system.
Yes
The device is described as being intended for various medical specialties and purposes including coagulation, hemostasis, treatment of benign vascular and pigmented lesions, hair removal, and reduction of scarring, all of which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is specified for surgical and aesthetic applications, including coagulation, hemostasis, incision/excision, cutting, ablation, and hair removal. It is not described as analyzing or interpreting biological signals or images to determine health status.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a laser system console, handpiece, cooling device, footswitch/handswitch, and remote interlock connector. While it mentions software as part of the console, it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the Modified Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers clearly indicate that they are used for direct treatment and surgical procedures on the human body (coagulation, hemostasis, incision, excision, cutting, ablation, hair removal, etc.). They are not used to analyze specimens taken from the body.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic or surgical medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Dermatology:
The Altus Medical Aesthetic Modified CoolGlide laser systems are intended for the coagulation and hemostasis of benign vascular lesions such as, but not limited to, port wine stains, hemangiomas, warts, telangiectasia, rosacea, venus lake, leg veins and spider veins. The lasers are also intended for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), café au lait macules, seborrheic keratoses, nevi, chloasma, verrucae, skin tags, keratoses, tattoos (significant reduction in the intensity of black and/or blue/black tattoos) and plaques.
Additionally, the lasers are indicated for pigmented lesions to reduce lesion size, for patients with lesions that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment, and for patients with lesions that have not responded to other laser treatments.
The Modified CoolGlide lasers are also indicated for the removal of unwanted hair, for the stable long term, or permanent, hair reduction through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles, and for the treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).
The lasers are also indicated for the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar.
The Modified CoolGlide lasers are indicated for use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin.
The intended use of the integral cooling system in the Altus Modified CoolGlide laser handpiece is to provide cooling of the skin prior to laser treatment, for the reduction of pain during laser treatment, to allow for the use of higher fluences for laser treatments such as hair removal and vascular lesions, and to reduce the potential side effects of laser treatments.
Surgical Applications ::
The lasers are indicated for the incision/excision and cutting, ablation, coagulation/hemostatis of soft tissue in the performance of surgical applications in endosopy/laproscopy. gastroenterology, general surgery, a head and neck/otorhinolaryngology (ENT), neurosurgery, oculoplastics, orthopedics, plastic surgery, pulmonary/thoracic surgery, gynecology (e.g. menorrhagia) and urology.
Indications for use (532nm):
For coagulation and hemostasis of vascular and cutaneous lesions in dermatology including, but not limited to, the following general categories: vascular lesions [angiomas, hemangiomas (port wine), telangiectasia (facial or extremities telangiectasias, venous anomalies, leg veins)]; benign pigmented lesions (nevi, lentigines, chloasma, café-au-lait, tattoos (red and green ink); verrucae; skin tags; keratoses; plaques; cutaneous lesion treatment (hemostasis, color lightening, blanching, flattening, reduction of lesion size).

Indications for use (532nm):
For coagulation and hemostasis of vascular and cutaneous lesions in dermatology including, but not limited to, the following general categories: vascular lesions [angiomas, hemangiomas (port wine), telangiectasia (facial or extremities telangiectasias, venous anomalies, leg veins)]; benign pigmented lesions (nevi, lentigines, chloasma, café-au-lait, tattoos (red and green ink); verrucae; skin tags; keratoses; plaques; cutaneous lesion treatment (hemostasis, color lightening, blanching, flattening, reduction of lesion size).
Rationale for Substantial Equivalence VI.
The family of Altus Medical Modified CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers share the same general indications for use, and therefore is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Altus Medical Aesthetic Nd:YAG Laser (K991798, K991234 and K003202), the VeinLase, manufactured by HGM (K981952), the EpiLight PhotoDerm HR, manufactured by ESC Medical Systems (K991935 and K980537), the LightSheer Pulsed Diode Array Laser System, manufactured by Star/Coherent Medical (K982940), the Lyra and Orion/SL/Lyra Series Laser Systems and SmartScan. manufactured by Laserscope (K990718, K990903, K941841, K933880, K003147 and K003765), and the Candela Long Pulse Nd: YAG Laser System manufactured by Candela (K010104).
VII. Safety and Effectiveness Information
The new indications for use in dermatology, endoscopic/laproscopic general surgery, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology, neurosurgery, oculoplastics, orthopedics, plastic surgery, pulmonary.thoracic surgery, and urology are based upon the indications for use for predicate laser systems.
Technologically, the modified CoolGlide family of aesthetic lasers is identical to the previous predicate CoolGlide family (K003202). Therefore the risks and benefits for the modified CoolGlide laser family are comparable to the predicate devices.
We therefore believe that there are no questions of safety or effectiveness raised by the introduction of this device.
VIII. Conclusion
،
The family of Altus Medical Modified CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers were found to be substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Altus Medical Aesthetic Nd: YAG Laser (K991798, K991234 and K003202), the VeinLase, manufactured by HGM (K981952), the EpiLight PhotoDerm HR, manufactured by ESC Medical Systems (K991935 and K980537), the LightSheer Pulsed Diode Array Laser System, manufactured by Star/Coherent Medical (K982940), the Lyra and Orion/SL/Lyra Series Laser Systems and SmartScan, manufactured by Laserscope (K990718, K990903, K941841, K933880, K003147 and K003765) and the Candela Long Pulse Nd:YAG Laser System (K010104). The family of Altus Medical Modified CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers share similar indications for use, design features, and similar functional features as, and thus are substantially equivalent to, the currently marketed predicate devices.
