No
The document describes a laser system with different wavelengths and handpieces for various dermatological and surgical procedures. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components in the device description or performance studies.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of various medical conditions, including vascular lesions, benign cutaneous lesions, pigmented lesions, wrinkles, and inflammatory acne, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description and intended use only mention therapeutic applications like coagulation, hemostasis, incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and treatment of various lesions and wrinkles. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose or detect medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical laser system with specific wavelengths, a foot switch for activation, and significant weight and dimensions, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended uses listed are all related to treating various skin conditions, vascular lesions, wrinkles, and for surgical procedures on soft tissue. These are all in vivo applications, meaning they are performed on a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system designed to emit specific wavelengths of light for therapeutic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed for testing biological samples in vitro (in a lab setting) to provide diagnostic information. This device is clearly designed for therapeutic interventions in vivo.

Dear Mr. Cho:

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.

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 Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance, please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometric's (OSB's) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at (240) 276-3474.
