The Deka Synchro FT is indicated for the following treatments: Nd: YAG laser: Removal of unwanted hair, for stable long term or permanent hair reduction (Skin Types Fitzpatrick I-VI), photocoagulation and hemostasis of pigmented and vascular lesions, such as but not limited to warts, teleangiectasia, leg veins and spider veins, treatment of benign pigmented lesions. Pulsed light attachment: Permanent hair reduction, photocoagulation of vascular lesions, photothermolysis of blood vessels, treatment of benign pigmented lesions. Different wavelength ranges of Pulsed Light attachment are indicated for the various treatments and skin types, as indicated in the following table: | Pulsed light<br>wavelength range | Hair reduction | Vascular lesions | Blood vessels | Pigmented lesions | |----------------------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|-------------------| | 500 - 1200nm | - | Skin Types I, II | Skin Types I, II | - | | 520 - 1200nm | - | Skin Type III | Skin Type III | Skin Types I, II | | 550 - 1200nm | Skin Types I, II | - | - | Skin Type III | | 600 - 1200nm | Skin Type III | - | - | - | | 650 - 1200nm | Skin Type IV | - | - | Skin Type IV |
Device Description
The Deka Synchro FT is a platform which can be equipped with an internal hi-power long pulse Nd:YAG laser module and a pulsed light handpiece (FT handpiece). SynchroFT with the long pulse Nd:YAG module comes with a wide range of interchangeable, quick release handpieces with electronic spot recognition. The FT handpiece is equipped with five different emission spectra interchangeable filters. The system allows to switch from one of the two available sources to the other by pressing a key on keyboard. Handpiece activation is either by footswitch or fingerswitch. Overall weight of the device is 65 kg, and the size is 100 cm x 50 cm x 83 cm (H x W x D). Electrical requirement is 230VAC, 16A, 50-60 Hz, single phase.
More Information

No
The summary describes a laser and pulsed light platform for aesthetic treatments, focusing on hardware components and treatment parameters. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is indicated for treatments of medical conditions like vascular lesions, benign pigmented lesions, warts, and teleangiectasia, classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

The Deka Synchro FT is described as a device used for treatments such as hair removal, photocoagulation, and treatment of various skin lesions, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical platform with a laser module, pulsed light handpiece, and significant weight and dimensions, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all for therapeutic treatments performed directly on the patient's body (hair removal, treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions). IVDs are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser and pulsed light system designed for external application to the skin. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a device for analyzing 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 IVD devices.

Therefore, the Deka Synchro FT is a therapeutic medical device, not an IVD.
