More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser system for dermatological procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used for the treatment of various dermatological conditions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

This device is described as a laser system for "ablation (removal), resurfacing and coagulation of soft tissue" and for "Treatment of wrinkles, rhytides, furrows, fine lines, textural irregularities, pigmented lesions and vascular dyschromia." Its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "laser source" and "scanning and focusing optics," which are hardware components, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Fraxel III SR Laser System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The Fraxel III SR Laser System is a therapeutic device. Its intended use is for dermatological procedures requiring ablation, resurfacing, and coagulation of soft tissue, and for treating various skin conditions like wrinkles, pigmented lesions, and vascular dyschromia. It directly interacts with the patient's tissue for treatment purposes, not for analyzing samples outside the body.

The description clearly indicates a laser system used for direct treatment on the skin, which is the opposite of how IVD devices function.

Dear Ms. MacFalls:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced aboye 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 setforth 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
