No
The description focuses on laser technology and an embedded processor for control, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
Yes
The device is used for dermatological procedures and "treatment of" various skin conditions, which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is described as a laser system for dermatological procedures and skin resurfacing, which are treatment-oriented rather than diagnostic. The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists various conditions it treats, not conditions it diagnoses.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a "fiber laser, controlled by an embedded processor," indicating it is a hardware device with embedded software, not a standalone software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes dermatological procedures performed directly on the patient's skin using a laser. This involves treating conditions like wrinkles, scars, pigmented lesions, and performing skin resurfacing.
- Device Description: The device description confirms it's a laser system that delivers thermal energy to the skin.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. The Fraxel IV SR Laser System does not involve the analysis of such specimens.
Therefore, the Fraxel IV SR Laser System is a therapeutic device used for direct treatment on the patient, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON
Indications for Use
Substantial equivalence for the Fraxel IV SR Laser System and Accessories is supported by the predicate devices listed in this submission, which have identical or similar indication statements.
Clinical Performance Data
Sufficient safety data has been gathered to determine that the Fraxel IV Laser System and Accessories performs as clinically intended and that no new issues of safety and effectiveness are introduced.
Technological Characteristics
Key technological characteristics of the Fraxel IV SR Laser System, such as energy type and operating principle, are equivalent to the Fraxel II SR Laser System as described in submission K062303 and the Fraxel SR Laser System as described in submission K053047.
CONCLUSION
Based on the design, materials, function, intended use and clinical evaluation, the Fraxel IV Laser System and Accessories is substantially equivalent to the devices currently marketed under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. No changes are being made in the laser wavelength or operating principle. Safety and effectiveness are reasonably assured, justifying 510(k) clearance.
