More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a diode laser system for dental surgery and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The focus is on the laser's function for tissue manipulation.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for various therapeutic procedures involving soft tissue, such as frenectomy, gingivectomy, hemostasis, and removal of hyperplastic tissues, all of which aim to treat medical conditions or improve physical function.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that it is a surgical laser system used for procedures like incision, excision, hemostasis, and tissue removal (ablation), which are all therapeutic or interventional actions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of it analyzing or identifying medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable instrument" and uses a "contact fiber optic delivery system," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The GENTLEray 980 Diode Dental Laser System is a surgical instrument used for treating soft tissue through ablation, incision, excision, and coagulation. It directly interacts with the patient's tissue.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: The description does not mention any analysis of samples or diagnostic testing. Its purpose is therapeutic and surgical, not diagnostic.

Therefore, the GENTLEray 980 Diode Dental Laser System falls under the category of a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
