More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a passive fiber optic cable for laser energy delivery and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an accessory (fiber optic delivery system) for a laser used in lithotripsy procedures, which is a therapeutic intervention to break up stones in the body.

No

The device is described as a fiber optic delivery system used to deliver energy from a laser to a stone during lithotripsy procedures, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "disposable fiberoptic" and a "fiber optic delivery system," which are physical hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "fiber optic delivery system" used "during lithotripsy procedures in the contact mode" to deliver energy to a stone. This is a therapeutic procedure performed on the patient's body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's a "disposable fiberoptic which is designed to deliver energy... to the stone."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used for a therapeutic intervention.

510(K) SUMMARY Page -2- / -2-

All three devices are intended to be used as a fiber optic delivery system for ND: Yag laser systems. In addition, both the Laser Fiber GF500 and the predicate device Laser Fiber GF100 are designed for use in conjunction with the W.O.M. Laser U100 during lithotripsy procedures in the contact mode. Finally, both the proposed device and the InnovaQuartz General Shape Laser Fiber are approved for reuse.

The differences between the Laser Faser GF500 and predicate devices are minor and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. Accordingly, W.O.M. WORLD OF MEDICINE AG believes that the Laser Fiber GF500 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices currently on the market.

VIII. Performance Data:

The device has been tested in accordance with the European Standard EN 554 and EN 1174. The Laser Fiber GF500 bears the CE mark in accordance with the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
