More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser system with specific wavelengths and intended uses, but there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components.

Yes
The device is intended for the "treatment of vascular lesions" and "hair removal, permanent hair reduction and the treatment of pigmented lesions," which are therapeutic applications.

No
The device is a laser system intended for treatment (surgical, aesthetic, cosmetic applications, vascular lesions, hair removal, pigmented lesions), not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "pulsed diode laser emitting a wavelength of 800 - 950 nm, that is operated with a handpiece in contact with the skin," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states surgical, aesthetic, and cosmetic applications on the skin for treating vascular lesions, hair removal, and pigmented lesions. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system operated with a handpiece in contact with the skin. This describes a therapeutic or surgical device, not a device used to examine samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, urine, etc.), performing tests on biological specimens, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mrs. Katzer:

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.
