No
The device description focuses on traditional laser technology and a microprocessor-based controller for parameter selection, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the coagulation and haemostasis of vascular lesions, removal and permanent reduction of unwanted hair, and for the treatment of facial wrinkles, all of which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is described as a laser system for therapeutic applications like coagulation, hair removal, and wrinkle treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details multiple hardware components including a laser system, optical cavity, flashlamp, optical fibre delivery system, focusing handpiece, high voltage power supply, cooling system, and a microprocessor-based controller. This is clearly a hardware-based medical device with a software component for control.
Based on the provided information, the DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes procedures performed on the patient's body (coagulation, haemostasis, hair removal, wrinkle treatment). IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The description details a laser system that delivers energy to the patient's skin. This is consistent with a therapeutic or cosmetic device, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, reagents, or any processes related to in vitro testing.
Therefore, the DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System is a therapeutic/cosmetic laser device, not an IVD.

Device Description
The DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System is based on Nd: YAG laser technology. Within the system, an optical cavity contains the Nd: YAG crystal. which is activated by means of the use of a flashlamp. After the cavity, a red diode aiming beam is reflected onto a coaxial beam path using a beamsplitter assembly. The combined therapeutic and aiming beams are guided down an optical fibre delivery system to a focusing handpiece. The laser is used in a non-contact mode.
The DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System is designed with 5 major sub-systems:
- a) A high voltage power supply which converts and rectifies the a.c. mains current to provide regulated power for the flashlamp simmer current and main triggering pulse.
- b) A cooling system consisting of an internal water flow circuit together with water to air heat exchanger.
- c) An Nd: YAG laser rod, capable of generating optical pulses at a frequency up to 3 Hz
- d) An optical delivery system, interfacing the energy from the laser to the patient via an optical fibre and focusing handpiece.
- e) The microprocessor based controller which regulates the functions of the laser and allows parameter selection by the user.

I. Description
The DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System is based on Nd: YAG laser technology. Within the system, an optical cavity contains the Nd: YAG crystal. which is activated by means of the use of a flashlamp.

II. Intended Use
The DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System is indicated for the use in dermatological applications for the treatment of facial wrinkles.
III. Summary of Substantial Equivalence
Depilase believes that its DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System is substantially equivalent to the Laserscope Lyra (K020021) Nd: YAG laser, previously cleared for the use in dermatological applications for the treatment of facial wrinkles (1064 nm emission).
They therefore have the same Intended Use as the DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System.
Technologically, the predicate device has identical characteristics to the DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System, comprising a flashlamp pumped Nd: YAG laser rod generating light at a wavelength of 1064nm, which is subsequently delivered to the patient via an optical fibre delivery system and focusing handpiece.
The DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System output characteristics are very similar to those of predicate devices.
All lasers are microprocessor controlled devices.
All lasers utilize Class I aiming beams which pose no hazard to the user.
All systems utilize an internal closed loop water-air heat exchange circuit for optimal thermal control of the laser cavity.
The risk and benefits of the DEPILASE YAG LASE PLUS Laser System are comparable to the predicate device when used for similar clinical applications.
It is therefore believed that there are no new questions of Safety or Effectiveness raised by the introduction of this device.
