Intended Use
The Pilot Ultra Diode Laser is indicated for dentistry and oral soft tissue procedures of: 1) The removal of lesions, excision, incision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, and photocoagulation on soft tissue including abscess treatment, contouring, curettatage, sulcular debridement, pulpotomy, frenectomy, gingivectomy, troughing, and removal of inflamed edematous tissue. 2) Temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, minor arthritis pain, muscle spasm, temporary increase in local blood circulation, and temporary relaxation of muscles by means of topical elevated tissue temperature from infrared spectral emissions; 3) Light activation of bleaching materials for teeth whitening and laser-assisted whitening/bleaching of teeth.
Device Description
The Pilot Ultra Diode Laser is a device for delivering laser energy to human soft tissue for a variety of surgical procedures and treatments. This energy is generated by solid-state diodes, which provide a consistent and reliable generation of laser energy at 810 ± 20mm for a maximum of 3 watts of energy output. The laser energy is delivered to surgical site by means of an optical fiber system, which allows for the safe transmission of laser energy to the site without creating undue risk to the patient or operatory staff by errant or collateral laser emissions. The device features some user definable settings, including a switchable 630nm aiming beam, adjustable power output for both the working beam and aiming beam, and continuous delivery or pulse delivery options. The working end of the delivery fiber is contained within a metal handpiece with a disposable single-use tip. This handpiece system is incorporated into the device. The activation of the working beam diodes is completed by use of a foot-actuated switch.

No
The summary describes a diode laser device with user-definable settings for power output and delivery mode. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making or learning capabilities. The performance studies focus on meeting regulatory requirements and safety features, not on algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is indicated for various medical procedures such as removal of lesions, pain relief, and tissue treatment, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device description and intended use indicate the Pilot Ultra Diode Laser is used for surgical procedures, treatments, and cosmetic applications (teeth whitening) by delivering laser energy, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as solid-state diodes, an optical fiber system, a metal handpiece with a disposable tip, and a foot-actuated switch, indicating it is a physical device that delivers laser energy.

Based on the provided information, the Pilot Ultra Diode Laser is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all procedures performed directly on or within the human body (oral soft tissue procedures, pain relief, teeth whitening). IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a device that delivers laser energy to tissue via an optical fiber and handpiece. This is consistent with a surgical or therapeutic device, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or functions associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the Pilot Ultra Diode Laser is a therapeutic and surgical device used for direct treatment of patients, not an IVD device used for diagnostic testing of samples.
