Device Description
The Claros nano Dental Laser System is a variant of the Claros Dental Laser System. It is a portable laser that uses a gallium aluminum arsenide 810 nm diode laser module to provide optical energy via a contact fiber optic delivery system. Claros nano is used for multiple soft tissue, periodontal, and teeth whitening applications. The Claros nano Dental Laser System is comprised of the following main components: a light/ laser system console (including software, a display panel and controls); delivery devices; one or more handpieces; and protective eye wear.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a laser system for dental procedures and teeth whitening. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML functionality. The description focuses on the laser technology and its components.

Yes
The device is described for a variety of dental procedures including incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of oral soft tissues, as well as treatment of canker sores, herpetic and aphthous ulcers. These are all therapeutic actions.

No.

The device description and intended use indicate that the Claros nano Dental Laser System is used for therapeutic and aesthetic procedures like incision, excision, vaporization, and teeth whitening, rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of hardware components including a light/laser system console, delivery devices, handpieces, and protective eyewear, in addition to software.

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.
  • Device Function: The Claros nano Dental Laser System is a therapeutic device that uses laser energy to perform surgical procedures on oral soft tissues, periodontal tissues, and for teeth whitening. It directly interacts with the patient's body for treatment purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples or diagnostic testing. Its intended uses are all related to surgical intervention and cosmetic procedures.

Therefore, the Claros nano Dental Laser System falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Ernst:

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.
