No

The device is a surgical laser system intended for the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue. Its listed uses are all therapeutic surgical procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states that the UltraPulse System is a carbon dioxide laser system with physical components like a laser console, articulated arm, footswitch/handswitch, and delivery device accessories. While it mentions proprietary software embedded in controllers, the core functionality and intended use are based on hardware (the laser) for surgical procedures.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical laser system used for the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in various medical specialties. This involves direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The device description details a CO2 laser system with delivery mechanisms (articulated arm, fiber) and accessories for surgical procedures.

The UltraPulse System (both UltraPulse and UltraPulse DUO models), subject of this submission, is a modification of the Lumenis Family of UltraPulse SurgiTouch CO2 Lasers cleared under K030147. Both UltraPulse models are regarded as additional members to the UltraPulse SurgiTouch CO2 Laser family, Delivery Devices and Accessories. As such they share with the cleared family members, the same intended use and underlying technology. The modifications introduced to the subject UltraPulse System as compared to its cleared family are designed and intended mainly for system modernization and increased user convenience in accordance with market/design inputs.

Performance testing was conducted in order to demonstrate the performance of the UltraPulse System (both models) and its substantial equivalence, with respect to safety and effectiveness, to the cleared predicate system. The following activities were performed:

  • . Risk analysis
  • . Electrical and laser safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing as required to conform to performance standards as follows:
    • EN 60825-1: Safety of laser products-Part 1: Equipment classification and O requirements
    • EN 60601-2-22: Medical electrical equipment- part 2: particular requirements for o the safety of diagnostic and therapeutic laser equipment.
    • EN 60601-1: Medical electrical equipment Part 1 : General requirements for O basic safety and essential performance
    • EN 60601-1-2: Medical electrical equipment Part 1-2 : General requirements o for basic safety and essential performance- Collateral standard : Electromagnetic compatibility- requirements and tests
  • Software verification and validation
  • . Ability of the subject system to withstand variant operation, storage and transportation conditions
  • . System testing (e.g., energy measurements, safety controls, emission indicator, DUO switching model, Fiber and Free Beam ports, scanner, aiming beam)

Test results indicated that the subject UltraPulse System (both models) performs in accordance with its requirements and specifications, in similarity to its predicate device. Consequently, the UltraPulse System (both models) was found to perform as well as its predicate, to be as safe and effective for its intended use as its predicate, and is substantially equivalent to its predicate device without raising any new safety and/or effectiveness issues.
