More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a passive laser fiber for energy delivery and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used in laser-based surgical applications for vaporization, ablation, and fragmentation of calculi, as well as procedures involving soft and cartilaginous tissue, which are direct interventions to treat conditions or achieve a therapeutic outcome.

No

The device is described as a laser fiber used for surgical procedures like vaporization, ablation, and fragmentation of tissues and calculi, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a fiber optic laser energy delivery device, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during surgical procedures on a patient's body (in vivo). It's used for delivering laser energy to perform actions like vaporization, ablation, and fragmentation of tissues and calculi.
  • Device Description: The description details a fiber optic laser energy delivery device, designed to be connected to a surgical laser system. This is consistent with a surgical tool, not a device used to test samples outside the body (in vitro).
  • 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.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to deliver energy for surgical intervention, not to analyze samples for diagnostic purposes.
