More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser handpiece with a computer-controlled scanner, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML mentions.

Yes
The device is indicated for treatment of wrinkles and skin resurfacing, which are therapeutic applications.

No

The device is described as a laser handpiece used for surgical applications like excision, incision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissue, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Laser handpiece" which is a hardware component that emits laser energy. It is an optional handpiece for existing laser systems.

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 perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a laser handpiece used for surgical procedures involving the excision, incision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissue. This is a direct treatment or surgical intervention performed on the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting specific analytes (e.g., proteins, DNA, antibodies).
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

Therefore, the Cutera Er: YSGG Laser Handpiece is a therapeutic or surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Hoy:

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.
