Intended Use
The SOPRANO XL™ Multi-Application Platform includes a Diode Laser Module and an optional NIR Module. The Diode Laser Module: The HR Mode is intended for hair removal, permanent hair reduction. The LaserBlanche Mode is intended for the treatment of benign vascular and pigmented lesions. The NIR Module is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating the tissue temperature for the temporary relief of minor muscle pain and joint pain and stiffness, the temporary relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis, the temporary increase in local circulation where applied, and the relaxation of muscles; may also help muscle spasms, minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain. The SOPRANO XL™ Multi-Application Platform is intended for use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI), including tanned skin.
Device Description
The Soprano XL Multi-Application Platform features an additional indication for the treatment of benign vascular and pigmented lesions introduced to its Diode Module compared to the existing Alma Lasers, Ltd. (former MSq., Ltd.) Soprano Diode Laser System, previously cleared under K052874 for hair removal and long-term hair reduction. The Soprano XL system is indicated for use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-VI), including tanned skin. The Soprano XL Multi-Application Platform is a multi-application, multi-technology platform that supports the following technologies: · Diode laser technology · Near-infrared light technology (NIR) Both the Soprano and Soprano XL systems consist of a console, a diode module and a footswitch. The module is pressed against the patient skin and a laser pulse is delivered when the module trigger and the footswitch are activated. The module tip is cooled by the cooling system. Output parameters and other system features are controlled from the touch-screen control panel on the console, which provides an interface to the system micro-controller through an LCD touch-screen.
More Information

No
The description focuses on laser and near-infrared light technology and system control via a microcontroller and touch-screen, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of benign vascular and pigmented lesions and for the temporary relief of minor muscle pain and joint pain and stiffness, etc., which are therapeutic purposes.

No

The device is described as a "Multi-Application Platform" intended for treatment rather than diagnosis. Its functions include hair removal, treatment of lesions, temporary relief of pain and stiffness, and temporary increase in circulation. These are all therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes hardware components such as a console, diode module, NIR module, and footswitch, in addition to software controlled via a touch-screen.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility of any actual or potential recipient, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • SOPRANO XL™ Function: The SOPRANO XL™ Multi-Application Platform is a laser and light-based system that applies energy directly to the patient's body for therapeutic purposes (hair removal, lesion treatment, pain relief, etc.). It does not examine specimens in vitro.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate that it is a therapeutic device used for direct treatment on the patient's skin and underlying tissues.

Dear Ms. Epstein:

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 Compliaring 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. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at (240) 276-3464. You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities inder the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
