No
The 510(k) summary describes a laser device for pain relief and acne treatment and contains no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is indicated for providing temporary relief of pain and treating dermatological conditions, which are therapeutic uses.

No
The device is indicated for providing temporary relief of pain and treating dermatological conditions, which are therapeutic uses, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states "Erchonia EVRL Laser," indicating a hardware device that emits laser light. The intended use also describes the use of "red diode" and "blue diode," which are hardware components of a laser.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device being applied externally to the body (neck and shoulder, skin) for therapeutic purposes (pain relief, treating acne). IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description is for a laser, which is a physical therapy or dermatological device, not a device designed for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens.
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
    • Using reagents or assays.

Therefore, the Erchonia EVRL Laser, as described, falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
