Device Description
The Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser System is a new device for 510(k) submission and shares the same indications for use and safety compliance, similar design features and functional features with the predicate device. The Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser System (GlobalCure-SC6) delivers laser at two wavelengths of 1064nm and 532nm. The double wavelengths cause maximum energy absorption by targeting the treatment area and minimum absorption by surrounding skin. In addition, the laser pulse duration is controlled to be equal to or shorter than the thermal relaxation time of the target. to minimize heat transfer to surrounding tissues. The Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser System covers control system, user interface, power supply, laser emission and delivery system, cooling system and safety features.
More Information

No
The document describes a laser system with specific wavelengths and pulse durations for tissue treatment. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of various medical conditions, including tattoo removal, pigment lesions, vascular lesions, and skin resurfacing procedures for acne scars and wrinkles. These are procedures for medical conditions, not general wellness.

No

The device is indicated for therapeutic procedures such as incision, excision, ablation, vaporization of soft tissues, and removal of tattoos and lesions, rather than for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser System" and lists hardware components such as a power supply, laser emission and delivery system, and cooling system. This indicates it is a physical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes procedures performed on the patient's body (incision, excision, ablation, vaporization of soft tissues, tattoo removal, lesion removal, etc.). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system designed to deliver energy to the skin and soft tissues. This is consistent with a therapeutic or surgical device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser System is a therapeutic/surgical device, not an IVD.
