More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics, laser/light types, wavelengths, and intended uses of the device, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as a laser and pulsed light system performing procedures such as removal of hair, photocoagulation and hemostasis of various lesions, skin resurfacing, and removal of tattoos, all of which aim to treat existing conditions or alter body functions, aligning with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The provided text describes the device's functions as various forms of treatment (e.g., hair removal, skin resurfacing, treatment of lesions), not as a tool for identifying or characterizing health conditions. While it treats conditions, it does not diagnose them.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical laser and pulsed light system with specific hardware components (lasers, handpieces, footswitch/finger switch, power requirements, size, and weight). 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 Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a laser and pulsed light system used for various dermatological and cosmetic treatments applied directly to the patient's body (hair removal, lesion treatment, skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, acne treatment).
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient.

The device's intended use and description align with a therapeutic or aesthetic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
