No
The description focuses on laser technology and an embedded processor for control, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.
Yes
The device is used for medical procedures to treat various dermatological conditions and improve skin health, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device description and indications for use clearly describe a therapeutic laser system used for various dermatological treatments, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Laser System" consisting of laser sources, fiber delivery, and scanning/focusing optics, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- This device is a laser system used for dermatological procedures directly on the patient's skin. It delivers thermal energy to the epidermis and dermis for treatment purposes, not for analyzing biological samples.
The description clearly indicates it's a therapeutic device used for treating various skin conditions and performing skin resurfacing, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
1550 nm: The Fraxel 1550 nm laser is indicated for use in dermatological procedures requiring the coagulation of soft tissue, as well as for skin resurfacing procedures. It is also indicated for treatment of dyschromia and cutaneous lesions, such as, but not limited to lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), actinic keratosis, and melasma, and for treatment of periorbital wrinkles, acne scars and surgical scars.
1927 nm: The Fraxel 1927 nm laser is indicated for use in dermatological procedures requiring the coagulation of soft tissue, treatment of actinic keratosis, and treatment of pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots) and ephiledes (freckles).

Summary of Performance Studies
A clinical study was conducted to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 Laser System (K101490). The clinical performance data confirmed that the Fraxel DUAL 1550/1927 Laser System performs as intended and that the expansion of the new 1927 nm indications do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
