No
The document does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The description focuses on light-based treatment and comparisons to predicate devices based on specifications and performance studies without mentioning AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is intended for "photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions, photothermolysis of blood vessels (treatment of facial and leg veins), and the treatment of benign pigmented lesions," which describes therapeutic applications.

No.
The device is used for photocoagulation and photothermolysis, which are treatment procedures rather than diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "handpiece," which is a hardware component, and an "accessory to the EsteLux Pulsed Light System," which is also a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device used for photocoagulation and photothermolysis of dermatological vascular lesions and treatment of benign pigmented lesions. These are procedures performed directly on the patient's body using light energy.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a handpiece accessory to a pulsed light system, designed for treating veins and pigmented lesions. This further reinforces its use as a therapeutic device applied externally to the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any analysis of biological specimens.

Therefore, the LuxGTM handpiece is a therapeutic medical device used for external treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Moore:

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.
