Intended Use
The SOLAR™ Surgical Ablation System is indicated for delivery of 810nm, 1064nm, or 1083nm laser light to soft tissue, under visualization, during surgical procedures Indications include the ablation, or coagulation of soft tissue. The SOLAR™ Surgical Ablation System Accessories are intended for use in the support of the delivery of laser light to soft tissue during surgical procedures.
Device Description
The SOLAR Surgical Ablation System consists of a Cart, Laser Energy Generator (Laser Generator), Controller, an infusion set and a Track is an intraoperative, sterile, single-use device designed to apply laser energy to tissue The infusion set is a single-use device having a sterile fluid path designed for the delivery of sterile salıne solution to the Track laser tup The Track includes a rigid metallic shaft, a flexible track, and an introducer (guiding obturator) The Track further includes a laser compatible optical fiber which attaches to the Laser Generator The emitted laser energy is directed toward the targeted tissue from the end of the optical fiber which rides within the flexible Track The position of the optical fiber in relation to the target tissue is maintained constant by the method of mounting the fiber within the fiber optic housing and the design of the flexible Track itself The black markers on the Track indicate the area of tissue to be ablated and are used to set the positioning of the fiber optic housing within a given area of tissue The lines of ablation are created by independently activating the laser energy between two numbered segments, which are predetermined by the physician when positioning the flexible Track against the targeted tissue.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical components and laser energy delivery mechanism, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for analysis, control, or decision-making.

Yes
The device is indicated for "ablation, or coagulation of soft tissue" and "apply laser energy to tissue," which are therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "Surgical Ablation System" used for "ablation, or coagulation of soft tissue" by delivering laser light during surgical procedures. Its function is to treat tissue, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a Cart, Laser Energy Generator, Controller, infusion set, and a Track with a metallic shaft, flexible track, introducer, and optical fiber. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the delivery of laser light to soft tissue during surgical procedures for ablation or coagulation. This is a therapeutic or surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological specimens.
  • Device Description: The description details a system for delivering laser energy directly to tissue within the body. It involves a laser generator, a track for guiding the laser fiber, and an infusion set for saline. This is consistent with a surgical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is to physically alter tissue using laser energy.

Therefore, the SOLAR Surgical Ablation System is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
