Intended Use
The scanning handpiece is intended to be used as an accessory to the LS Family of CO2 Lasers to deliver the laser light to the targeted area for skin resurfacing in a fractionated manner.
Device Description
The LS Family of CO2 lasers are microprocessor-controlled laser systems that incorporate a handpiece to deliver energy to the tissue in a scanned, fractionated pattern.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML, and the description focuses on microprocessor control and scanned energy delivery, not AI/ML-driven analysis or decision-making.

Yes
The device is used to deliver laser light for skin resurfacing, which directly treats a condition (skin imperfections).

No
The device is described as a scanning handpiece used to deliver laser light for skin resurfacing, which is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic one. While histology was collected to determine depth of penetration, this seems to be a performance study aspect rather than the primary intended use of the device itself for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "scanning handpiece" and a "microprocessor-controlled laser system," indicating the presence of hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to deliver laser light to the skin for resurfacing. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a handpiece that delivers laser energy to tissue. This is consistent with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "targeted area for skin resurfacing," which is a part of the patient's body.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device's function is to deliver energy for treatment, not to analyze samples for diagnosis.

(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers.

Preparation Date:July 20, 2008
Device Trade Name:LS Family of CO2 Lasers
Common Name:CO2 Laser
Classification Name:Instrument, Surgical, Powered, laser 79-GEX,
21 CFR 878-48
Equivalent Device:LS Family of CO2 Lasers cleared under K040563
Description of the LS Family System:The LS Family of CO2 lasers are microprocessor-
controlled laser systems that incorporate a handpiece to
deliver energy to the tissue in a scanned, fractionated
pattern.
Intended Use:The scanning handpiece is intended to be used as an
accessory to the LS Family of CO2 Lasers to deliver the

Dear Mr. Rohrer:

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.
