Intended Use
The MultiWave XR Laser System is indicated for the following uses: 1. The 532 nm wavelength is indicated for: the treatment of Acne, benign vascular, including telangiectasia on the leg and face. 2. The 755 nm wavelength is indicated for: stable long-term or permanent hair reduction. It is used for I-IV skin types. It is also indicated for the treatment of vascular lesions, benign pigmented lesions, and wrinkles. 3. The 1064 nm wavelength is indicated for: stable long-term or permanent hair reduction. It is used for IV-VI skin types. It also indicated for photocoagulation and hemostasis of dermatological vascular lesions, for incision/excision of soft body tissues in dermatology, and for nonablative wrinkle reduction.
Device Description
The MultiWave XR combines three laser outputs in a single device. It produces a long pulse laser light of 532 nm, 755 nm, and 1064 nm wavelengths. The laser head has two optical cavities containing an Alexandrite crystal rod (755 nm) and a Nd:YAG crystal rod (1064 nm) with optional frequency doubler installed (532 nm). Pulsed laser energy accomplished with a red aiming beam of low energy (5mW, 635nm) is delivered to a target via an optical fiber and a handpiece. Each laser outlet has own fiber and handpiece. Chilled air is delivered to the same target via jets in a handpiece.
More Information

No
The summary describes a laser system with different wavelengths for various dermatological treatments. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The device description focuses on the hardware components and laser delivery mechanism.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of various medical conditions, including acne, vascular lesions, and wrinkle reduction, which are all therapeutic applications.

No

The device is a MultiWave XR Laser System used for various cosmetic and dermatological treatments, such as hair reduction, treatment of vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, wrinkles, and acne. It delivers laser energy for therapeutic purposes, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components, including laser outputs, optical cavities, crystal rods, optical fibers, and handpieces. It is a physical laser system, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The MultiWave XR Laser System is a therapeutic device that uses laser energy to treat various dermatological conditions and perform procedures directly on the patient's body (e.g., hair reduction, treatment of vascular lesions, incision/excision of soft tissue).
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the device analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient. The laser energy is applied externally or directly to the tissue.

Therefore, the MultiWave XR Laser System falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Appendix B (Summary of Substantial Equivalence) 10.2.

Summary of Substantial Equivalence

Pacific Quantum Instrument, Inc. believes that its MultiWave XR laser system is substantially equivalent:

  • a) regarding all three available in MultiWave XR laser emissions together (1064 nm, 755 nm and 532 nm), to the legally marketed device: Adept 1064/532/755 Laser (Adept Medical Concepts, Inc., K032218);
  • b) regarding 1064 nm laser emission, to the following legally marketed devices: 10Eaut 1064/532/755 Laser (K032218), GentleYAG (Candela, K022951), Gemini (Laserscope, K034011), Apogee Elite (Cynosure, K034030);
  • c) regarding 755 nm laser emission, to the following legally marketed devices: regarding 195 ml/7 asser (K032218), GentleLASE GL (Candela, K994260), Apogee Elite (Cynosure, K034030);
  • d) regarding 532 nm laser emission, to the following legally marketed devices: Adent 1064/532/755 Laser (K032218), Gemini (Laserscope, K034011), Aura i (Laserscope, K024206).

All these predicate devices previously cleared for medical applications, which include all Indications for Use of MultiWave XR proposed by Pacific Quantum Instruments, Inc. in the Indications for Use Statement (see Appendix 10.3)

Technologically, the predicate devices have identical characteristics to the MultiWave XR I connotegrounly, all comprising a flash lamp pumped Nd:Y AG laser rod generating light at 1064 iaser System, an onsperised Alexandrite laser rod generating light at 755 nm, which is subsequently delivered to the patient via individual optical fiber delivery system and focusing handpiece.

Moreover, all lasers are microprocessor controlled devices with internal closed water-air laser cooling system, and Class I, 635 nm, aiming pilot lasers, which pose no hazard to the user.

The risk and benefits of the MultiWave XR laser system are comparable to the predicate devices when used for similar applications. It is therefore believed that there are no NEW questions of Safety and Effectiveness raised by the introduction of this device: MultiWave XR laser system.
