No
The summary describes a laser device for treating varicose veins and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device is indicated for the "treatment of varicose veins and varicosities," which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device description clearly states "VARI-LASE is indicated for the treatment of varicose veins," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "semiconductor diode laser operating at 810 ± 20 nanometers," which is a hardware component. The performance studies also focus on testing the "laser console" against hardware standards.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of varicose veins and varicosities. IVDs are used for the diagnosis of diseases or conditions.
- Device Description: The device is a laser used for treatment, not for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests on these samples, or providing diagnostic information.
The device is a therapeutic device used for a medical procedure.

Dear Ms. Jensen:
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 (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
