More Information

Not Found

No
The provided text describes a laser system for surgical applications and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as a laser system intended for surgical applications requiring ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, hemostasis, or coagulation of soft tissues, as well as laser-assisted lipolysis, which are all therapeutic functions.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a laser system for surgical applications like ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, hemostasis, or coagulation of soft tissues, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "diode laser system," which is a hardware component. The intended use also describes a physical intervention (laser assisted lipolysis, ablation, vaporization, etc.) performed by this hardware.

Based on the provided information, the NaturaLase 980 Laser System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes surgical applications on soft tissues within the body (in vivo). IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system that delivers light for surgical procedures. IVD devices typically involve analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical components of an IVD device.

Therefore, the NaturaLase 980 Laser System is a surgical laser device, not an IVD.
