The document describes a laser system with a control console, handpiece, and cooling system. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any of the provided sections. The device appears to be a traditional laser system for aesthetic and surgical applications.
Yes
The Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers are intended for use in various medical specialties for surgical and aesthetic applications, treating a range of conditions such as vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, wrinkles, and hair removal. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device as it is used to treat or manage diseases or health conditions.
No
The Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers are described as being used for surgical and aesthetic applications, including coagulation, hemostasis, treatment of lesions, hair removal, and incision/excision. These are all therapeutic or aesthetic treatments, not diagnostic procedures.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a laser system console, handpiece, cooling device, footswitch/handswitch, and remote interlock connector. While the console includes software, the device is fundamentally a hardware-based laser system.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a laser system for surgical and aesthetic applications on the human body. It focuses on treating various lesions, wrinkles, hair, and performing surgical procedures.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of a laser system designed for external or internal application to tissue.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (on or in the body) for treatment and surgical procedures.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The family of Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers are intended for use in the medical specialties of general and plastic surgery, dermatology, endoscopic/laproscopic general surgery, gastroenterology, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology (ENT), neurosurgery, oculoplastics, orthopedics, pulmonary/thoracic surgery and urology for surgical and aesthetic applications.
1064nm:
Dermatology:
The Altus Medical Aesthetic CoolGlide laser systems are intended for the coagulation and hemostasis of benign vascular lesions such as, but not limited to, port wine stains, hemangiomas, warts, telangiectasia, rosacea, venus lake, leg veins, spider veins and poikiloderma of civatte; and treatment of benign cutaneous lesions, such as warts, scars, striae, and psoriasis. The lasers are also intended for the treatment of benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), café au lait macules, seborrheic keratoses, nevi, chloasma, verrucae, skin tags, keratoses, tattoos (significant reduction in the intensity of black and/or blue/black tattoos) and plaques.
Additionally, the lasers are indicated for pigmented lesions to reduce lesion size, for patients with lesions that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment, and for patients with lesions that have not responded to other laser treatments.
The CoolGlide lasers are also indicated for the treatment of wrinkles such as, but not limited to, periocular and perioral wrinkles.
The CoolGlide lasers are also indicated for the removal of unwanted hair, for stable long term, or permanent, hair reduction through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles, and for the treatment for pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).
The lasers are also indicated for the reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar.
The CoolGlide lasers are indicated for use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin.
The intended use of the integral cooling system in the Altus CoolGlide laser handpiece is to provide cooling of the skin, for the reduction of pain during laser treatment, to allow for the use of higher fluences for laser treatments such as hair removal and vascular lesions, and to reduce the potential side effects of laser treatments.
Surgical Applications:
The lasers are indicated for the incision/excision and cutting, ablation, coagulation/hemostatis of soft tissue in the performance of surgical applications in endoscopy/laproscopy, gastroenterology, general surgery, head and neck/otorhinolaryngology (ENT), neurosurgery, oculoplastics, orthopedics, plastic surgery, pulmonary/thoracic surgery, gynecology (e.g. menorrhagia) and urology.
Indications for use (532nm):
For coagulation and hemostasis of vascular and cutaneous lesions in dermatology including, but not limited to, the following general categories: vascular lesions [angiomas, hemangiomas (port wine), telangiectasia (facial or extremities telangiectasias, venous anomalies, leg veins)}; benign pigmented lesions (nevi, lentigines, chloasma, café-au-lait, tattoos (red and green ink); verrucae; skin tags; keratoses: plaques: cutaneous lesion treatment (hemostasis, color lightening, blanching, flattening, reduction of lesion size).

VI. Rationale for Substantial Equivalence
The family of Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers share the same general indications for use, and therefore is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Altus Medical family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Nd:YAG Lasers (K991798, K991234, K003202 and K014040), the NLite Pulsed Dye Laser, manufactured by ICN (K000811, K014130, and K013461), the Vbeam and Clearbeam Pulsed Dye Lasers, manufactured Candela (K013043 and K013748), the PhotoGenica Pulsed Dye Laser, manufactured by Cynosure (K012806), the CoolTouch I and CoolTouch II Nd: YAG lasers, manufactured by ICN (K014035 and K003715), the Smoothbeam Diode Laser, manufactured by Candela (K013825), and the Lyra Surgical Laser System, manufactured by Laserscope (K020021).
VII. Safety and Effectiveness Information
The new indications for use in dermatology, endoscopic/laproscopic general surgery, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology, neurosurgery, oculoplastics, orthopedics, plastic surgery, pulmonary.thoracic surgery, and urology are based upon the indications for use for predicate laser systems.
Technologically, the CoolGlide family of aesthetic lasers is identical to the previous predicate CoolGlide family (K014040). Therefore the risks and benefits for the CoolGlide laser family are comparable to the predicate devices.
We therefore believe that there are no questions of safety or effectiveness raised by the introduction of this device.

VIII. Conclusion
The family of Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers were found to be substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Altus Medical family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Nd:YAG Lasers (K991798, K991234, K003202 and K014040), the NLite Pulsed Dye Laser, manufactured by ICN (K000811, K014130, and K013461), the Vbeam and Clearbeam Pulsed Dye Lasers, manufactured Candela (K013043 and K013748), the PhotoGenica Pulsed Dye Laser, manufactured by Cynosure (K012806), the CoolTouch I and CoolTouch II Nd:YAG lasers, manufactured by ICN (K014035 and K003715), the Smoothbeam Diode Laser, manufactured by Candela (K013825), and the Lyra Surgical Laser System, manufactured by Laserscope (K020021). The family of Altus Medical CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers share similar indications for use, design features, and similar functional features as, and thus are substantially equivalent to, the currently marketed predicate devices.
