No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, nor does it describe features or processes that typically involve AI/ML, such as image processing or data analysis for diagnostic or predictive purposes.

Yes

The device's intended use explicitly states "Non-invasive treatment of periorbital wrinkles and rhytids" and "Non-invasive treatment of facial wrinkles and rhytids," which are therapeutic applications.

No

This device is indicated for treatment procedures like electrocoagulation and hemostasis, and the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles, not for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly lists multiple hardware components including a system unit, handpiece assembly, accessories, cables, tubing, and an optional footswitch. This indicates it is a hardware-based system, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Thermage ThermaCool System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes procedures performed on the patient's body (electrocoagulation, hemostasis, treatment of wrinkles). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
  • Device Description: The components listed are for delivering energy to the skin and surrounding tissues, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical components of an IVD.

Therefore, the Thermage ThermaCool System is a therapeutic device used for dermatological and surgical procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
