No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the device description focuses on hardware components and laser technology.
Yes
The device is intended for the "treatment of vascular lesions," "treatment of benign pigmented lesions," and "hair removal and permanent hair reduction," which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is intended for treatment purposes like hair removal, vascular and pigmented lesion treatment, and not for diagnosing diseases or conditions. The Skintel Reader measures skin melanin content to aid in treatment settings, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly lists multiple hardware components including a laser handpiece, base module, coolant reservoir, and chiller module, in addition to the Skintel Reader.
Based on the provided information, the Palomar Vectus Laser and Skintel™ Reader are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are for aesthetic, dermatology, general, and plastic surgery applications involving direct treatment of the skin (vascular lesions, leg veins, pigmented lesions, hair removal, pseudofolliculitis barbae) and objective measurement of skin melanin content. These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the patient's body.
- Device Description: The components described (laser handpiece, reader, base module, coolant, chiller) are consistent with a laser system used for external treatments and a device for measuring skin characteristics directly on the skin.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The Skintel™ Reader measures melanin content on the skin to help set laser parameters, not to diagnose a condition from a sample.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Palomar Vectus Laser and Skintel™ Reader do not fit this definition.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Palomar Vectus Laser is intended for use in aesthetic, dermatology, general and plastic surgery applications for the treatment of vascular lesions, such as angiomas, hemangiomas, telangiectasia and other benign vascular lesions. Additionally. treatment of leg veins, benign pigmented lesions, hair removal and permanent hair reduction as well as pseudofollilculitis barbae. Treatment for these indications is intended for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including tanned skin.
The Skintel™ Reader is intended as an objective measurement tool for examining skin melanin content for determining and setting a test spot starting fluence.

Dear Ms. Timberlake:
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.
