Intended Use
The Aurora SR is intended for use in dermatology for superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesion treatment.
Device Description
The Aurora SR is a device that is used for superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesion treatment. The Aurora SR treatment is based on a principle of selective thermolysis. According to this principle, parameters of optical and RF energy (spectrum, exposure duration and energy density) are chosen (and optimized) to selectively damage (destroy) vascular and pigmented lesions without damaging the surrounding tissues.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a device based on selective thermolysis using optical and RF energy, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

Yes
The device is used for "treatment" of benign vascular and pigmented lesions, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device description states its intended use is for "treatment" of vascular and pigmented lesions, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a device used for treatment based on optical and RF energy, indicating it is a hardware-based system delivering energy, not software alone.

Based on the provided information, the Aurora SR is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "superficial benign vascular and pigmented lesion treatment" in dermatology. This describes a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description explains a treatment based on selective thermolysis using optical and RF energy. This is a physical treatment method applied externally.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any specimen analysis or diagnostic purpose.

Therefore, the Aurora SR is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
