Intended Use
Indicated at 2940 nm for Fitzpatrick skin types I-V for coagulation, vaporization, ablation or cutting of soft tissue (skin, cutaneous tissue, subcutaneous tissue, striated and smooth tissue, muscle, cartilage meniscus, mucous membrane, lymph vessels and nodes, organs, and glands) in dermatology, plastic surgery (including aesthetic surgery), oral surgery, and ophthalmology. Specifically indicated for skin resurfacing, treatment of wrinkles, and superficial skin lesions.
Device Description
The LaserPeel Soft-MET Modified Erbium Laser is a compact self-contained device that delivers a beam of laser energy at an infrared wavelength of 2940 nm to the treatment site. The LaserPeel Soft-MET Modified Erbium Laser consists of four primary components: 1. A console which houses the power supply, electronics, cooling system, and liquid crystal display screen (LCD); 2. A handpiece which contains the laser cavity and optical delivery system and is connected to the console by an umbilical cord: 3. An on/off footswitch; and 4. An integrated trolley/cart. The LaserPeel Soft-MET Modified Erbium Laser is not battery operated, but is controlled and operated with the aid of computer software.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a laser device with standard components and mentions computer software for control, but there is no indication of AI or ML being used for analysis, decision-making, or treatment planning.

Yes.
The device is used for medical treatments such as "coagulation, vaporization, ablation or cutting of soft tissue" and "skin resurfacing, treatment of wrinkles, and superficial skin lesions" in various medical specialties.

No

The device is described as a laser system for tissue coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting, and its indicated uses are for treatment purposes such as skin resurfacing and wrinkle treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a console, handpiece, footswitch, and trolley/cart. While it mentions being controlled by computer software, it is not solely 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the LaserPeel Soft-MET Modified Erbium Laser is used for coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue directly on the patient's body. It is a surgical/therapeutic device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes procedures performed on the patient's skin and other soft tissues for treatment purposes (skin resurfacing, wrinkle treatment, lesion treatment).
  • Device Description: The components and operation described are consistent with a laser used for surgical or aesthetic procedures, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the LaserPeel Soft-MET Modified Erbium Laser falls under the category of a therapeutic or surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Devine:

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
