The provided text does not contain any mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on the laser technology and its intended uses.
Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of various medical conditions, including pseudofolliculitis barbae, vascular lesions, leg veins, and benign pigmented lesions. These are therapeutic uses.
No
The provided text describes the device as a laser system used for treatment procedures like hair removal and treatment of skin lesions, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "semiconductor diode laser system," which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, the IRIDEX® Apex 800 Laser System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- The IRIDEX® Apex 800 Laser System is a laser system used for in vivo (on the body) treatments. Its intended uses are for procedures performed directly on the patient's skin (hair removal, treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions).
The description clearly indicates it's a therapeutic device that delivers laser light to the body, not a device that analyzes biological samples in a lab setting.

Dear Mr. D'Angelo:
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.
