The description focuses on the laser technology, cooling system, and embedded processor for control, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes.
The device is used for treatment of various skin conditions and for incision, excision, ablation, and vaporization with hemostasis of soft tissue.
No
This device is described as a laser system for treatment purposes (incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, treatment of acne, wrinkles, sebaceous hyperplasia), not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Diode laser" and includes physical components like a "power supply, optical delivery system, software control system and Dynamic Cooling Device." This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Candela Smoothbeam Laser is a laser system used for direct treatment of the skin (soft tissue). It performs procedures like incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and treats conditions like acne, acne scars, wrinkles, and sebaceous hyperplasia. These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the body.
The device's function and intended use clearly fall under the category of a therapeutic or surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Diode laser is a Continuous Wave, diode medical laser, controlled by an embedded processor, to be used for applications such as the coagulation of soft tissue where remodeling of wrinkles. The Candela Smoothbeam Laser System is comprised of a power supply, optical delivery system, software control system and Dynamic Cooling Device. The laser output power supply, optical defreery of claring cosmation of the produces circular beams on the skin. The Dynamic Clooling Device, provides a short burst of cryogen spray during the laser treatment. The cryogen is delivered via a hose to a nozzle located in the handpiece. The Dynamic Cooling Device functions to cool the skin during the a hose to a nozine risunizing thermal damage to skin during laser treatment and reducing pain associated with laser treatment.
The Candela Smoothbeam Laser System is equipped with safety interlock systems to protect patients and operations. IJsers of the device, make selections from a control panel to regulate operation during the laser treatment.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The modality of action for the treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia is similar to that of previously cleared indications in the treatment of back acne and the treatment of inflammatory acne vulgaris. Published clinical data, using t he predicate Smoothbeam Laser, cleared for use in the market, produced results that demonstrate that the Smoothbeam Laser is safe and effective for the expanded indication, - the treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia
