No
The summary describes a procedure kit with physical components (laser fiber, guide wire, sheath, needles, fiber lock) for treating varicose veins. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies focus on biocompatibility and component performance, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is indicated for the "treatment of varicose veins and varicosities," which directly addresses a medical condition.

No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the VARI-LASE procedure kit is for "treatment" of varicose veins, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components such as a laser fiber, guide wire, introducer sheath, needles, and fiber lock, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device kit.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a procedure performed on the patient's body (treatment of varicose veins and reflux in superficial veins). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
  • Device Description: The components listed (laser fiber, guide wire, sheath, needles) are instruments used for a surgical or interventional procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

This device is clearly intended for a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient.

Dear Ms. Busklein:

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 commerce prior 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.
