No
The device description focuses on the laser technology and its components, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is intended for medical purposes such as ablation, vaporization, incision, excision, and coagulation of soft tissue, as well as for the temporary increase of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis, all of which are considered therapeutic interventions.
No
The device description and intended use outline procedures for ablation, vaporization, incision, excision, coagulation, and temporary increase of clear nail, all of which are treatment-oriented rather than diagnostic. There is no mention of analysis, measurement, or interpretation for the purpose of diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines a hardware system including a laser, cabinet, control panel, power supply, cooling system, and handpieces. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses described are for the ablation, vaporization, incision, excision, and coagulation of soft tissue and for the temporary increase of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis. These are all therapeutic procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a laser system designed to deliver energy to tissue. It includes handpieces for direct application to the treatment site.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes. This device is clearly designed for in vivo (within the body) therapeutic treatment.

Device Description
The CoolTouch VariaBreeze Laser System is an Nd: YAG laser using a flashlamp-pumped solid state laser rod to produce laser emission at 1064 nm. The laser consists of a cabinet that houses the following:
- Control panel with microcontroller and emergency stop button, standby button, ready button, and key switch
- Connector port for fiber optic delivery system
- Remote interlock connector
- 630 to 680 nm diode aiming beam
- Power supply
- Cooling system
- Connector port for footswitch and power cord
Delivery devices for the VariaBreeze include:
- CoolBreeze Handpiece for CoolBreeze Mode—Contains non-replaceable fiber optic within a flexible cable connected to the laser. A standoff at the tip allows for non-contact use, and a control dial is used to set the spot size from 2mm to 10mm. The handpiece also has cryogen for topical cooling. The handpiece is cleanable and reusable.
- Toenail Handpiece for Toenail Mode—The fiber optic cable attaches to the laser. The handpiece features a standoff at the tip to provide the correct placement for laser delivery to the treatment site and is reusable and cleanable.

Dear Mr. Vollrath:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of November 01, 2011.
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act
