Intended Use
The VAPORMAX is intended for surgical use including: incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue. The VAPORMAX is indicated for use with any cleared Holmium:YAG 2.1 micrometer laser with a compatible connector for that laser's cleared indications for use.
Device Description
The VAPORMAX is a single use, disposable, side firing, fiber optic energy delivery device for use with cleared Holmium:YAG lasers.
More Information

No
The summary describes a fiber optic energy delivery device for use with lasers, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis capabilities.

No
The device description indicates it is an "energy delivery device" for use with lasers, and its intended uses are surgical procedures like "incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue," which are not considered therapeutic but rather interventional or ablative.

No
The VAPORMAX is described as a surgical device for soft tissue procedures like incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation, indicating therapeutic rather than diagnostic use.

No

The device description explicitly states that the VAPORMAX is a "single use, disposable, side firing, fiber optic energy delivery device," which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "for surgical use including: incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue." This describes a device used on the body during a surgical procedure, not a device used to test samples from the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description of a "fiber optic energy delivery device for use with cleared Holmium:YAG lasers" further supports its use in a surgical setting to deliver energy to tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on bodily fluids or tissues outside the body, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, the VAPORMAX is a surgical device, not an IVD.
