No
The provided 510(k) summary does not contain any mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators typically associated with AI/ML technology in medical devices.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of various medical conditions, including hair reduction, benign cutaneous vascular lesions, benign pigmented lesions, and mild to moderate inflammatory Acne Vulgaris. These are all therapeutic applications.

No
The description states the device is a "laser surgical instrument" intended for "hair reduction" and "treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions," "benign pigmented lesions," and "mild to moderate inflammatory Acne Vulgaris." These are all therapeutic or cosmetic treatments, not diagnostic evaluations.

No

The device is described as a "laser surgical instrument," which inherently implies a hardware component for delivering laser energy. The summary does not mention any software-only functionality.

Based on the provided information, the iPulse System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a laser surgical instrument used for various treatments on the human body (hair reduction, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, acne). This involves direct interaction with the patient's tissues.
  • Definition of IVD: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The iPulse System does not perform such tests.

The description focuses on a therapeutic device that applies energy to the body, not a diagnostic device that analyzes samples.
