No
The summary describes a laser system for acne treatment and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes.
The device is indicated for the treatment of a medical condition (mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris), which signifies a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for the "treatment" of acne, which means it is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a cabinet housing hardware components (power supply, cooling system, microcontroller, laser), fiber optics, and a handpiece, indicating it is a hardware device.

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 mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. IVDs are used for the diagnosis of diseases or conditions.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system that emits light to treat a condition. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on specimens, or providing diagnostic information.

This device is a therapeutic device, specifically a laser system used for treatment.
