More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser system with standard components and does not mention any AI or ML related terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of medical conditions (back acne, atrophic acne scars), which classifies it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device description and intended use indicate it is a therapeutic device for treating acne and acne scars, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a laser system consisting of a cabinet, fiber optics, and a handpiece, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • CoolTouch® ND:YAG Laser System Function: The description clearly states that this is a laser system used for the treatment of back acne and atrophic acne scars. It applies energy to the body for therapeutic purposes.

The intended use and device description are consistent with a therapeutic medical device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.
