Intended Use
Dornier MedTech America, Inc. is requesting the expansion of the indications for use for the Dornier Diode Laser family previously cleared under K982629, K000072, K003993 and K021724. The Dornier Diode Laser family, Medilas™ D Fibertom Laser ("Medilas D"), Medilas™ D Skinulse™ ("SkinPulse") and Medilas™ S ("SkinPulse™ S ("SkinPulse S"), are intended for use in the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men over the age of 50 with prostates with median and/or lateral lobes ranging in total volume from 28-85cc and for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in coniunction with endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, cystoscopes, and colonoscopes), or in incision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue in contact or non-contact open surgery (with or without a handpiece). The SkinPulse™ and SkinPulse™ S lasers are also for the treatment and/or removal of vascular lesions (tumors) and for the removal of unwanted hair. The Dornier Diode Family Lasers are indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following medical specialties: Urology, Plastic Surgery, General Surgery, Dermatology, Gynecology, Pulmonary Surgery, Gastroenterology, ENT and Radiology, This premarket notification requests clearance for the additional indication as stated: The Dornier diode family lasers, Medilas D Fibertom Laser ("Medilas D"), Medilas D SkinPulse ("SkinPulse") and Medilas D SkinPulse S ("SkinPulse S") are intended for use in endovascular coagulation of the greater saphenous vein of the thigh in patients with superficial vein reflux.

More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a diode laser system for various surgical applications. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section. The focus is on the laser technology itself and its applications.

Yes
The device is described as being "intended for use in the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)" and "for endovascular coagulation of the greater saphenous vein of the thigh in patients with superficial vein reflux," both of which are therapeutic applications.

No

The document describes the device's intended use for treatment purposes, such as cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of tissues, and removal of lesions or hair. It does not mention any diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device description explicitly lists "Laser System" as part of the device names, indicating a hardware component. The intended use also describes procedures involving physical interaction with tissue (cutting, vaporization, ablation, coagulation), which requires hardware.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Dornier Diode Laser family is used for surgical procedures involving cutting, vaporization, ablation, coagulation, and treatment/removal of tissue and lesions. These are direct interventions on the body, not tests performed on samples outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed (treating BPH, cutting/vaporizing soft tissue, removing vascular lesions/hair, endovascular coagulation) are all therapeutic or surgical procedures.
  • Lack of Mention of Samples or Testing: The text does not mention any analysis of biological samples or diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Dornier Diode Laser family falls under the category of surgical or therapeutic medical devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
