Intended Use
The Polaris LV is indicated for treatment of vascular lesions.
Device Description
The Polaris LV is a device that is used for treatment of vascular lesions. The Polaris LV treatment is based on the principle of selective (electromagnetic) thermolysis. According to this principle, parameters of optical and RF energy (spectrum, exposure duration and energy density) are chosen and optimized to selectively damage vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding tissues.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on the physical principles of the device.

Yes
The device is indicated for "treatment of vascular lesions," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is indicated for "treatment of vascular lesions" and is described as performing selective thermolysis to "selectively damage vascular lesions". These actions are therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it uses optical and RF energy, which are hardware-based modalities for treatment. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "treatment of vascular lesions." This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description explains how the device works to treat lesions using electromagnetic energy. It does not mention analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
    • Using reagents or assays.

The Polaris LV is a therapeutic device used for a medical procedure.

Name of the Device: Polaris LV

  • Predicate Devices: The Polaris LV is substantially equivalent to a combination of the following devices: the Polaris DS, manufactured by Syneron Medical Ltd. and subject of K024064; the PhotoDerm Nd:YAG Accessory, manufactured by ESC Medical Ltd., and subject of K980537; the SLP 1000, manufactured by Palomar Medical Technologies Inc., and subiect of K013028: the Dornier Medilas D SkinPulse Laser, manufactured by DornierMedTech, and subject of K020339.
  • Device Description: The Polaris LV is a device that is used for treatment of vascular lesions. The Polaris LV treatment is based on the principle of selective (electromagnetic) thermolysis. According to this principle, parameters of optical and RF energy (spectrum, exposure duration and energy density) are chosen and optimized to selectively damage vascular lesions without damaging the surrounding tissues.

The Polaris LV is intended for use in dermatology for treatment of vascular lesions.

Based upon an analysis of the overall performance characteristic for the device, Syneron Medical Ltd. believes that no significant differences exit. Therefore the Polaris DS should raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Dr. Waldman:

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. 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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
