Device Description
The AcuPulse 30 and 40 series is the next generation of Lumenis CO2 lasers. The new product will retain the same console, articulated arm, delivery devices and other basic features of the current Compact 20C, 30C & 40C series, while integrating improved versions of the GUI and SurgiTouch scanner currently used with the UltraPulse SurgiTouch. The AcuPulse 30 and 40 Carbon Dioxide Laser is an advanced computer-controlled, user friendly CO2 laser system based on a sealed-off CO2 laser tube providing up to 30 or 40 Watts (model dependent) on tissue. The system incorporates the CO2 laser tube within the main cabinet, an articulated arm beam delivery system and attachable laser accessories. The system is activated for laser emission by a footswitch. This system incorporates a DC-excited CO2 laser tube. The CO2 laser wavelength falls in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This wavelength is invisible to the human eye. CO2 laser energy is readily absorbed by water in tissue. Since soft tissue is comprised primarily of water, CO2 laser energy can be used effectively for the excision, incision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of soft tissue
More Information

No
The document describes a CO2 laser system for soft tissue surgery and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities in its intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes.
The device is used for vaporization, incision, excision, ablation, or coagulation of soft tissue in various surgical specialties, which are all therapeutic actions.

No

The device is described as a CO2 laser system intended for the vaporization, incision, excision, ablation, or coagulation of soft tissue in various surgical specialties. These actions are therapeutic or surgical interventions, not diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Carbon Dioxide Laser System" with a "sealed-off CO2 laser tube," "articulated arm beam delivery system," and "attachable laser accessories." This indicates it is a hardware device that uses software for control, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the AcuPulse series is for the "vaporization, incision, excision, ablation, or coagulation of soft tissue in the surgical specialties..." This describes a device used on the patient's body during surgical procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details a "CO2 laser system" that delivers energy to tissue for surgical applications. This aligns with a surgical device, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is purely therapeutic/surgical.

In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The AcuPulse laser does not fit this definition.

Dear Frances E. Harrison:

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
