No
The document describes a laser system for tissue treatment and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended for "coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue (skin)", which describes a therapeutic action.

No

The device is described as a laser system intended for "coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue (skin)," which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of it providing information about a patient's health condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of hardware components: a cabinet housing power supply, cooling system, and electronics, and a handpiece housing the laser. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue (skin)". This describes a therapeutic or surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system designed to deliver energy to tissue, consistent with the stated therapeutic uses.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the Cell Robotics, Inc. Ultra-Light laser system is a medical device intended for surgical procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Goff:

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. Ilsting 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.
