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

Yes

The device is specified for various medical treatments, including incision, excision, ablation, vaporization with hemostasis of soft tissue, treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, acne, acne scars, reflux of saphenous veins, and laser-assisted lipolysis, which are all therapeutic indications.

No
The device is a surgical laser indicated for therapeutic procedures like incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and laser-assisted lipolysis, rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

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

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to surgical and dermatological procedures performed directly on the patient's body. These include incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, treatment of wrinkles, acne, varicose veins, and laser-assisted lipolysis.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system that emits light at 1320nm and is used with fiber optics and a handpiece. This is consistent with a device used for direct treatment of tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed to analyze samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is designed to directly interact with and treat the patient's tissues.

Dear Ms. Vollrath:

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
