No
The document describes a standard medical laser and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic analysis.
Yes
The device is indicated for surgical applications requiring the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, hemostasis, or coagulation of soft tissues, which are therapeutic medical procedures.
No
The device is indicated for surgical applications (ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, hemostasis, or coagulation) of soft tissues. These are therapeutic, not diagnostic, procedures.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "standard diode medical laser," which is a hardware device. The summary does not mention any software component that functions as a medical device on its own.
Based on the provided information, the Fox Q-980 Diode Laser is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical laser used for direct interaction with soft tissues within the body (ablation, vaporization, excision, etc.). This is an in vivo application.
- Device Description: The description confirms it's a medical laser with a specific wavelength and fibers, consistent with surgical use.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside the body to diagnose a condition, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.
Therefore, the Fox Q-980 Diode Laser is a surgical device, not an IVD.

§ 878.4810 Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.
(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. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.

Device Technological Characteristics and Comparison to Predicate Device(s):
Performance Standards:
The Fox Q-980 uses diodes to generate energy in the 980 nm range. It is the same 980 laser cleared under K073322 with the added indication for liploysis. Another commercially available diode laser also indicated for laser assisted lipolysis is the LaserPro 980, cleared under K082721. Fibers deliver energy to the tissue for both laser models.
The Fox Q-980 Laser complies with the performance requirements of 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11. with permissible deviations defined in Laser Notice 50, dated July 26, 2001. The diode lasers also comply with IEC 60601-1:1998 including amendment 1, IEC 60601-2-22:1995, and IEC 60825-1:1993 including amendments 1 and 2. Sterilization of the fibers is in compliance with ISO 11135-1 and 2.
Conclusion: The Fox Q- 980 Laser is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. It is the same 980 nm laser cleared under K073322 and is also indicated for laser assisted lipolysis as is the LaserPro device.
