More Information

No
The summary describes a light-based medical device for hair reduction and skin treatments, focusing on wavelengths and physical components. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms.

Yes
The device is intended for permanent hair reduction and photocoagulation of various dermatological lesions, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device's intended use and indications for use describe treatments such as hair reduction, photocoagulation of lesions, and photothermolysis, all of which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "light-based medical device" and lists several hardware components including a control console, display panel, power supply, cooling system, and a removable handpiece. This indicates it is a physical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "permanent hair reduction," "photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions," "photothermolysis of blood vessels," and the "treatment of benign pigmented lesions." These are all therapeutic or cosmetic procedures performed on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "light-based medical device that delivers a beam of pulsed non-ionising radiation." This is consistent with a device used for external treatment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided text does not mention any such use or the analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the McCue Energist ULTRATM VPL Intense Pulsed Light System is a therapeutic/cosmetic medical device, not an IVD.
