No
The 510(k) summary describes a simple suction handpiece for lipolysis and makes no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies.

No
The device is a cannula (suction hand piece) used in conjunction with a laser system for laser-assisted lipolysis, but it does not directly apply a therapeutic effect itself; rather, it facilitates the delivery of the laser's therapeutic action or removes tissue.

No
The device is described as a suction hand piece used with a laser system for lipolysis, which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "suction hand piece," which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "suction hand piece intended for use with a 980nm laser fiberoptic delivery system during laser assisted lipolysis." This describes a device used in vivo (on a living body) for a surgical procedure (lipolysis).
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The LipoEze Cannula does not perform such tests.
  • Device Description: The description as a "suction hand piece" further supports its use as a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the LipoEze Cannula falls under the category of a surgical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Rothkopf:

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 additional controls.
