No
The summary describes a laser system with standard components and safety features, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is indicated for "treatment of fine lines and wrinkles," which is a therapeutic application.

No

Explanation: The device is indicated for treatment (fine lines and wrinkles) rather than diagnosis. It directly performs an action (laser emission) on the patient.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of hardware components such as a cabinet, power supply, cooling system, microcontroller, laser head, fiber optics, and handpiece.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "Dermatological applications for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles." This is a therapeutic application performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical laser that emits light at 1064nm and is applied externally via a handpiece. This is a physical intervention, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The CoolTouch Varia Laser System is a therapeutic device used for a dermatological procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
