The document describes a laser system with standard components and controls, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML information.
Yes
The device is used for medical treatments such as skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, and treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, which fall under the definition of therapeutic interventions.
No
The text describes the device as a laser system used for treatment purposes such as skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, and treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a power supply unit, cooling unit, foot switch, and handpiece, indicating 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 Palomar Q-YAG 5™ Nd: YAG laser system is a therapeutic device that uses laser energy applied directly to the skin to treat various conditions (tattoo removal, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, hair removal, skin resurfacing). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes direct treatment of the skin and underlying structures, not the analysis of biological specimens.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Palomar Q-YAG 5™ Nd:YAG laser system is indicated at the 1064 nm wavelength for skin resurfacing with or without adjuvant preparation, dark ink tattoo removal (e.g., black ink), removal of pigmented lesions, including, but not limited to, lentigines, nevi, melasma, and café-au-lait, and the removal or lightening of hair. The 532 nm wavelength is indicated for the removal of red ink tattoos, treatment of vascular lesions, including facial and leg veins, telangiectasias, angiomas, hemangiomas, portwine stains, and most pigmented lesions (e.g., lentigines, ephlides). The 1064/532 nm blended wavelength is indicated for tattoo removal.

Device Description
The complete system consists of a power supply unit, a cooling unit, a foot switch, and the handpiece that connects the laser unit and cooling unit using an umbilical cord. In standard use, the handpiece is held against the treatment area and the light pulse is delivered when the foot-switch is depressed. Laser parameters and other system features are controlled from a display panel located on the front of the power supply unit.

Dear Ms. Timberlake:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
