The summary describes a laser device for various surgical and dermatological applications. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The device description is purely technical regarding the laser type and wavelength.
Yes
The device is indicated for various medical treatments, including the incision, excision, coagulation, hemostasis, vaporization, and/or ablation of soft tissue for various conditions across multiple surgical and dermatological specialties, as well as the treatment of benign vascular and pigmented lesions, wrinkles, hair removal, and scar reduction. These applications directly address medical conditions or aim to improve health, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
This device is a therapeutic device, indicated for various surgical applications and treatments involving soft tissue modification, such as incision, excision, coagulation, hemostasis, vaporization, and ablation, as well as cosmetic procedures like hair removal and wrinkle treatment. It is used for intervention, not diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "long-pulse Nd: YAG Laser operating at 1064 nm," which is a hardware device. The intended use also describes physical actions performed by a laser.
Based on the provided information, the Focus Medical NaturaLase LP Laser is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- NaturaLase LP Laser Function: The intended use and device description clearly state that the NaturaLase LP Laser is used for direct treatment of tissues within or on the human body through various surgical and dermatological procedures (incision, excision, coagulation, ablation, hair removal, etc.). It operates by interacting directly with the patient's tissue.
The device's function is therapeutic and surgical, not diagnostic based on analyzing samples outside the body.
