No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The device description is very basic and focuses on a laser for pain reduction.

Yes
The device is indicated for reducing chronic heel pain arising from plantar fasciitis, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is indicated for reducing chronic heel pain, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states "Erchonia Allay laser," indicating a hardware component (a laser) is part of the device. The 510(k) summary focuses on the intended use of this laser for treating plantar fasciitis.

Based on the provided information, the Erchonia® Allay™ laser is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to reduce chronic heel pain arising from plantar fasciitis. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser, which is a physical therapy modality.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens.
    • Providing diagnostic information.
    • Using reagents or assays.

Therefore, the Erchonia® Allay™ laser is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Walls:

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 cither class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
