No
The provided text describes a standard Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system with a console, power unit, control electronics, and applicators. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms for treatment planning or execution. The description focuses on the hardware and the light energy generation for specific dermatological applications.

Yes
The device is described for "treatment of benign pigmented lesions" and "benign vascular lesions," which are therapeutic applications, and its description explicitly states it is "used for long-term removal of unwanted hair and for treatment of sun-damaged skin, including uneven pigmentation, age spots, large pores and diffuse redness."

No.
The device is described as an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system intended for treatment (hair removal and treatment of benign pigmented and vascular lesions), not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a console containing a power unit, control electronics, and applicators/hand-pieces that generate light energy. This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Ellipse I2PL device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use and Indications for Use: The intended use and indications clearly state that the device is used for treating conditions on the skin (hair removal, benign pigmented lesions, benign vascular lesions). IVDs are used to diagnose diseases or conditions by examining samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue).
  • Device Description: The description details a system that generates light energy for treatment, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

The Ellipse I2PL is a therapeutic device used in dermatology, specifically utilizing Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for various skin treatments.
