No
The description focuses on the laser technology, water atomization, and adjustable parameters, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the "Removal of subgingival calculi in periodontal pockets with periodontitis by closed or open curettage," which directly addresses a disease condition (periodontitis) and aims to restore health.
No
The device description clearly states its intended use is for "Removal of subgingival calculi in periodontal pockets" and to "cut, remove, shave, contour, roughen and etch tissues," which are all therapeutic actions. There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose conditions or gather diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly details a physical laser system with hardware components like a handpiece, fiber optic cable, and adjustable settings for power, pulse duration, and flow rates. It is not solely software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The Waterlase MD dental laser system is used to directly treat tissue within the body (in vivo). It uses laser energy and water spray to remove calculus from periodontal pockets.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "Removal of subgingival calculi in periodontal pockets...". This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient.
The device description and intended use are consistent with a surgical or therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.

Device Description
The Waterlase MD dental laser system is a device used to perform a variety of dental soft and hard tissue indications. For hard tissue procedures the Waterlase MD uses the Erbium,Chromium:Yttrium,Scandium,Gallium Garnet (Er,Cr.YSGG) laser in combination with advanced water atomization spray technology to cut, remove, shave, contour, roughen and etch tissues. Soft tissue procedures are performed using two different modes of operation. H and S. where direct Er.Cr. YSGG laser energy is applied to incise, excise or ablate these tissues. For soft tissue procedures the water spray is applied for hydration. cooling or to keep tissues and the field of view clean. For hard tissue applications the spray is part of the tissue removing process as well as hydration, cooling and keeping tissues and field of view clean.
A flexible fiber optic terminated into the handpiece delivers the Waterlase®MD laser energy to the end fiber tip and target. A visible aiming light emitted from the handpiece's distal end pinpoints the area of treatment. Three fiber optic ports provide illumination from the handpiece to the tissue site in addition to the center beam emitting source. In both hard and soft tissue applications the power output, pulse duration, repetition rate (frequency) and air and water flow rates are adjustable to specific user requirements. The spot size and spot geometry can also be varied by changing tips which include different diameters and end configurations.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:
Removal of subgingival calculi in periodontal pockets with periodontitis by closed or open curettage.
CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:
All clinical procedures performed with Waterlase MD must be subject to the same clinical judgment and care as with traditional techniques. Patient risk must always be considered and fully understood before clinical treatment. The clinician must completely understand the patient's medical history prior to treatment. Exercise caution for general medical conditions, which might contraindicate a local procedure. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, allergy to local or topical anesthetics, heart disease, lung disease, bleeding disorders, sleep apnea or an immune system deficiency. Medical clearance from patient's physician is advisable when doubt exists regarding treatment.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:
The indications included herein are the same as indications that have been previously cleared by the FDA for an equivalent device. Substantial equivalency for the Waterlase MD has been determined through comparison to a previously cleared device.
