No
The summary describes a laser device with specific technical parameters (wavelength, beam diameter, pulse length, energy output) and intended uses. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, training sets, test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The predicate device is also a laser, further suggesting a non-AI/ML technology.

Yes
The device is described as a laser used for ophthalmic applications (posterior capsulotomy and peripheral iridotomy), which are medical procedures aimed at treating conditions. Therefore, it is a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a laser for ophthalmic applications such as posterior capsulotomy and peripheral iridotomy, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to detect, prevent, or monitor a disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a Neodymium : Yttrium : Garnet (Nd: YAG) laser, which 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 ophthalmic applications (posterior capsulotomy and peripheral iridotomy) using a laser. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's eye.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser (Nd: YAG laser) used for surgical procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

Therefore, the VISULAS YAG III™ is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
