No
The summary describes a fiber optic delivery system for lasers and explicitly states there are no differences in technology from a previously cleared device. There is no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is used for medical procedures involving soft tissue, internal organs, and veins, and performs actions like incision, excision, ablation, hemostasis, and coagulation, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The document directly states that the device is intended for "incision, excision, ablation, cutting, vaporization, hemostasis, and coagulation of soft tissue," which are treatment functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device is described as a "Fiber Optic Delivery System" and is intended for use with a surgical laser, indicating it is a physical component (fiber optic cable) used to deliver laser energy. This is a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used in vivo (within a living organism) for surgical procedures involving soft tissue. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue samples to diagnose diseases or conditions.
- Device Description: The description focuses on a fiber optic delivery system for a surgical laser, which is a tool used directly on the patient during surgery.
- Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, diagnostic testing, or any of the typical functions of an IVD.
The device is a surgical tool used for therapeutic and procedural purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Radial Emitting Shaped Fiber Optic Delivery System, is intended for use as a fiber delivery system in conjunction with any surgical laser with an SMA 905 compatible connector. It is indicated for use in general surgical applications for incision, excision, ablation, cutting, vaporization, hemostasis, and coagulation of soft tissue contact or non-contact, open or closed endoscopic applications where incision, tissue dissection, excision of external tumors and lesions, complete or partial resection of internal organs, tumors and lesions, tissue vaporization, hemostasis and/or coagulation may be indicated. The fiber is indicated for use in general surgery, urology, gastroenterology, gynecology, dermatology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, ENT/ otolaryngology, endovenous occlusion of the greater saphenous vein in patients with superficial vein reflux and laser assisted lipolysis with a compatible laser marketed for use in the desired application.
