No
The device description focuses on ultrasonic technology for tissue fragmentation and aspiration, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
Yes
The device is used for surgical procedures to fragment, emulsify, and aspirate soft tissues for therapeutic purposes such as tissue removal in various surgical specialties and aesthetic body contouring.
No
This device is described as an ultrasonic surgical system used for the fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of soft tissues, indicating a therapeutic or interventional function rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly states that the SoundVASER System is comprised of hardware components including an ultrasonic generator, an ultrasonic surgical handpiece with a probe, and a suction/irrigation subsystem. This is not a software-only device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.
- The SoundVASER System is a surgical device used directly on the patient's body during surgery to fragment, emulsify, and aspirate soft tissues.
The description clearly indicates it's a surgical tool used in vivo (within the living body) for procedures like body contouring and various surgical specialties. It does not involve the analysis of samples in vitro (in a lab setting).

Device Description
The SoundVASER System is comprised of an ultrasonic generator (110/120 and 220/240 VAC, 50 & 60 Hz), an ultrasonic surgical handpiece with an ultrasonic surgical probe, and a suction/irrigation subsystem. The ultrasonic surgical handpiece converts electrical energy supplied by the ultrasonic generator into vibratory motion. The vibratory motion is applied to the ultrasonic surgical probe that is attached to the ultrasonic surgical handpiece. The vibratory motion at the tip of the ultrasonic surgical probe fragments and emulsifies contacted soft tissues. The suction/irrigation subsystem is used to remove the fragmented tissues.

§ 878.5040 Suction lipoplasty system.
(a)
Identification. A suction lipoplasty system is a device intended for aesthetic body contouring. The device consists of a powered suction pump (containing a microbial filter on the exhaust and a microbial in-line filter in the connecting tubing between the collection bottle and the safety trap), collection bottle, cannula, and connecting tube. The microbial filters, tubing, collection bottle, and cannula must be capable of being changed between patients. The powered suction pump has a motor with a minimum of1/3 horsepower, a variable vacuum range from 0 to 29.9 inches of mercury, vacuum control valves to regulate the vacuum with accompanying vacuum gauges, a single or double rotary vane (with or without oil), a single or double diaphragm, a single or double piston, and a safety trap.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). Consensus standards and labeling restrictions.
