More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser device for surgical applications and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used for surgical applications like incision, excision, ablation, and vaporization of tissue, as well as percutaneous lumbar disc decompression, which are all therapeutic interventions.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that it is a surgical laser for incision, excision, ablation, and other therapeutic applications of soft tissue. It is not described as being used to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly identifies the device as a "Fiber-Coupled Diode Laser," which is a hardware device used for surgical procedures. The summary does not mention any software component as the primary or sole function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this is a laser used for surgical applications like incision, excision, ablation, cutting, vaporization, hemostasis, and coagulation of soft tissue. It also mentions percutaneous lumbar disc decompression/diskectomy. These are all in vivo procedures, meaning they are performed directly on the living body.
  • Lack of IVD-related terms: The document does not mention any terms related to sample analysis, laboratory testing, or diagnostic information derived from bodily fluids or tissues.

Therefore, the Ceralas Fiber-Coupled Diode Laser family 980nm is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use/ Indications for Use vi.

The Ceralas Fiber-Coupled Diode Laser family 980nm (and their delivery accessories used to deliver optical energy) are indicated for use in general surgical applications for incision, excision, ablation, cutting, vaporization, hemostasis, and coagulation of soft tissue contact or non-contact, open or closed endoscopic applications where incision, tissue dissection, excision of external tumors and lesions, complete or partial resection of internal organs, tumors and lesions, tissue vaporization, hemostasis and/or coagulation may be indicated.

Added Indication for Use:

Percutaneous Lumbar Disc Decompression/ Diskectomy in soft and cartilaginous tissue.

vii. Technological Characteristics

The Ceralas 980nm family have substantially similar technological characteristics as compared to the Ceralas G15 532nm Frequency-Doubled Nd:YAG laser and the Ceralas D1950 laser, as well as the Quanta System Polysurge 808nm, 980nm & 1950nm laser family, Quanta System Model 30 (808nm & 940nm) laser family and the INTERmedic 810nm & 980nm family.

viii. Performance Data

Performance testing of the Ceralas 980nm family demonstrates no significant difference as compared to the cleared Ceralas G15 532nm Frequency-Doubled Nd:YAG and D1950 lasers.

ix. Substantial Equivalence

The Ceralas 980nm family is as safe and effective for this additional Indication for Use as the Ceralas G15 532nm Frequency-Doubled Nd:YAG and D1950 lasers, the Quanta System Polysurge 808nm, 980nm & 1950nm laser family, the Quanta System Model 30 (808nm & 940nm) laser family and the INTERmedic 810nm & 980nm laser family.

The Ceralas 980nm family has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The minor technological differences between the Ceralas 980nm family and its predicate device raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Ceralas 980nm family is substantially equivalent.
