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

Yes
The device is indicated for various medical treatments, including soft tissue incision/excision, treatment of fine lines/wrinkles, back acne/acne scars, and venous reflux, which are all therapeutic applications.

No
The device is described as a surgical laser used for various treatments like incision, excision, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue, as well as treatment for wrinkles, acne scars, and varicose veins. These are all therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Laser System" consisting of a cabinet, fiber optics, and a handpiece, which are all hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • CoolTouch LC215 Function: The description clearly states the CoolTouch LC215 is a surgical laser used for procedures performed on the body (in vivo). It's used for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and treatment of veins and skin conditions.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any analysis of biological specimens, laboratory testing, or diagnostic information derived from samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the CoolTouch Model LC215 Nd:YAG Surgical Laser is a therapeutic and surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
