No
The description focuses on the laser technology, transmission system, handpiece attachments, and automatic parameter adjustments based on spot size, which are standard features of laser systems and do not indicate the use of AI or ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training or testing.
Yes.
The device is intended for hair removal in dermatology, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device description indicates that the ARION Alexandrite Laser is intended for use in dermatology for hair removal, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic application. It describes how the laser system and its components function to deliver laser energy to the skin, but there is no mention of it being used to identify, detect, or monitor a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly details a physical laser system with hardware components like a handpiece, fiber, and scanner, not just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for use in dermatology for hair removal for skin types Fitzpatrick I - IV." This is a therapeutic or cosmetic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a laser system that delivers energy to the skin. This is an external device used for treatment, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition
- Using reagents or assays
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device is a laser used for a physical treatment on the skin.

Device Description
The ARION is a 755 nm solid-state long-pulsed Alexandrite laser system. The beam is directed to the treatment area by a transmission system which is connected to the laser device. The EPI Zoom Ax transmission system consists of a hand piece attachment with a firmly attached fiber and a hand piece. The hand piece insert can be moved within the hand piece and determine the application and parameter ranges. The hand piece insert in the transmission system hand piece can snap into various positions. The number located closest to the hand piece indicates the spot diameter on the skin in mm (spot sizes: 6/8/10/12/14 mm). The integrated hand piece detection feature automatically shows the selected spot diameter on the laser display. The parameter range is also automatically adjusted for the corresponding range. The MedArt 928 scanner for ARION consists of a scanner with a connected transmission system and a spacer with a 8, 9, 10 and 12 mm spot size. The spacer determines the spot diameter on the skin and therefore the parameter range of the configurable energy densities as well. The spacers are inserted into the scanner as shown below and must be inserted into the scanner up to the limit stop position. The spacers now automatically sets a spot diameter of 8, 9, 10, and 12 mm on the skin; this is also shown automatically on the laser display. The parameter range is also automatically adjusted for the corresponding range. For epidermal cooling can be a cooling device adapted to the handpiece / scanner.

Dear Mr. Sammons:
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 for association 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.
