Not Found

No
The document describes a light-based medical device and its intended uses, but there is no mention of AI or ML technology in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes

The device is intended for the treatment of various medical conditions, including inflammatory Acne Vulgaris, benign pigmented lesions, and benign cutaneous vascular lesions, which are all therapeutic indications.

No

The device is described as an Intense Pulsed Light System intended for various treatments such as hair reduction, acne treatment, and photocoagulation of lesions. Its function is to deliver pulsed light for therapeutic purposes, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a control console unit, display panel, power supply, cooling system, and a removable handpiece with integrated parts. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device that utilizes light energy, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The McCue Energist ULTRA™ VPL Intense Pulsed Light System is a light-based medical device that applies pulsed non-ionizing radiation directly to the body for therapeutic purposes (hair reduction, acne treatment, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses described are all direct treatments applied to the patient's skin.

Therefore, the device's function and intended use clearly fall outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

. Intense Pulsed Light Energy / wavelengths (610 - 950nm)

The 610 - 950nm intense pulsed wavelengths are indicated for:

The removal of unwanted hair from all skin types and to effect stable long-term or permanent 1 hair reduction in skin types I - V through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles.

1 Permanent hair reduction is defined as a long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing after a treatment regimen.

5.11 Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The McCUE Energist ULTRA VPL System has an identical intended use to the McCue predicate system and identical technological characteristics except for modifications to the device software and high voltage component. These differences do not result in differences in performance or raise new questions of safety and efficacy. The McCUE Energist ULTRA VPL System also has the same principles of operation, mode of action and equivalent energy outputs that are used by the Cyden predicate device to achieve the treatment of Acne Vulgaris. Performance data was provided to demonstrate that the system is capable of providing the outputs necessary to achieve its required treatment parameters. The McCUE Energist ULTRA VPL™ System is therefore concluded to be substantially equivalent to both of the above named predicate devices and minor differences to the systems do not raise additional concerns of safety and efficacy.
