More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a laser system for surgical applications and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The focus is on the physical components and intended uses of the laser.

Yes
The device is intended for surgical applications requiring the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue across various medical specialties, which are therapeutic actions to address medical conditions.

No.

The device is a laser system intended for surgical applications that ablate, vaporize, excise, incise, and coagulate soft tissue. Its described functions are all therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Laser System" consisting of multiple hardware components like a console, articulated arm, footswitch, and handpieces, in addition to system software. This is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided text, the Alma Lasers Pixel CO2™ Laser System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Intended Use: The Alma Lasers Pixel CO2™ Laser System is intended for surgical applications requiring the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in vivo (within the living body).
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description and intended use clearly indicate that this device directly interacts with and modifies soft tissue within the patient's body. There is no mention of analyzing specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, the Alma Lasers Pixel CO2™ Laser System is a surgical laser system, not an IVD.
