AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes a laser system for surgical procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components.

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is described as being used in various surgical procedures to perform actions like incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis of soft tissue, which are direct medical interventions aimed at treating conditions.

Diagnostic

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is for surgical procedures such as incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis of soft tissue. These are all therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description clearly states it is a "holmium laser system" and lists hardware components such as the laser system, control panel, foot switch, and application fiber. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

• IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
• Device Function: The Auriga QI laser system is described as a surgical tool used for procedures like incision, excision, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue. It directly interacts with the patient's body during surgery.
• Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its application in surgical procedures across various medical specialties.
• Device Description: The description focuses on the laser system and its components used for delivering laser energy to tissue.
• Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing of biological specimens.

Therefore, the Auriga QI laser system is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Weidemann:

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 or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
