No
The document describes a radiofrequency (RF) system for dermatological procedures and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is indicated for "non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids," which is a therapeutic purpose, and it performs "electro coagulation and hemostasis" in surgical procedures, also therapeutic.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section describes the device's functions as "electro coagulation and hemostasis" and "non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids." These are therapeutic or treatment-oriented functions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of identifying, detecting, or measuring a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an RF Generator, Cooling Module, Cryogen Canister, Handpiece Assembly, 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 uses listed are "Dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electro coagulation and hemostasis" and "Non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids." These are procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in a laboratory setting.
  • Device Description: The components described (RF Generator, Cooling Module, Handpiece, etc.) are consistent with a device used for external application to the skin and underlying tissues. There is no mention of components typically found in IVD devices, such as reagents, analyzers, or sample handling systems.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: The document does not mention any of the elements that would be expected for an IVD, such as analysis of biological samples, diagnostic purposes, or performance metrics related to diagnostic accuracy.

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