Device Description
The Syneron CO2RE is a computer controlled radio-frequency (RF) excited carbon dioxide (CO2) laser system that delivers CO2 energy to the target treatment area at 10,600 nm. The Syneron CO>RE is comprised of multiple components, including the control unit and three handpieces (standard, fractional and surgical). Laser is transmitted to the tissue via a series of lenses integrated into the articulated arm. The CO2 laser energy is absorbed by water in tissue to achieve its intended treatment effects.
More Information

No
The summary describes a laser system for soft tissue ablation and excision, controlled by a computer, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes

The device is indicated for a wide range of surgical applications involving the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue, including the treatment of various medical conditions and diseases across multiple specialties such as dermatology, podiatry, gynecology, neurosurgery, and orthopedics. This directly aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No.

The device's intended use and indications for use describe surgical applications requiring ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue, primarily for treatment purposes, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Syneron CO2RE is a "computer controlled radio-frequency (RF) excited carbon dioxide (CO2) laser system" comprised of "multiple components, including the control unit and three handpieces (standard, fractional and surgical)." This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the CO2RE device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • CO2RE Intended Use: The CO2RE's intended use is clearly described as a surgical laser system for the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in various medical specialties. It directly interacts with and modifies human tissue in vivo (within the living body).
  • No Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention any collection, preparation, or analysis of specimens taken from the body. The device's function is to deliver laser energy to the target tissue.

Therefore, the CO2RE is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The Syneron CO2RE is a computer controlled radio-frequency (RF) excited carbon dioxide (CO2) laser system that delivers CO2 energy to the target treatment area at 10,600 nm. The Syneron CO>RE is comprised of multiple components, including the control unit and three handpieces (standard, fractional and surgical). Laser is transmitted to the tissue via a series of lenses integrated into the articulated arm. The CO2 laser energy is absorbed by water in tissue to achieve its intended treatment effects.

Technological Characteristics

The Syneron CO2RE technological characteristics are very similar to those of the predicate devices. The Syneron CO2RE and its predicate devices are all RF excited CO2 laser

systems that operate at the same or similar parameters, including wavelength, pulse duration, maximum laser power, and maximum energy. The systems are comprised of the same or similar components for the same intended use.

Performance Data

The Syneron CO2RE System performs as intended based on performance data provided in the submission.

Software: Verification and validation testing of the software confirm that the software version is appropriate for release.

Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility: The CO2RE System has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety per the applicable recognized consensus standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-2-22). Results were passing.

Biocompatibility: Biocompatibility of the patient contacting components of the device has been established per FDA's quidelines.

Sterilization: Sterilization parameters have been validated.

Performance Data: Histological analysis has been performed to evaluate the device effects across a range of treatment parameters.

Substantial Equivalence

The Syneron CO2RE System has the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. The technological differences between the CO2RE System and its predicate devices do not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness questions given that the key treatment parameters remain similar between the CO2RE System and its predicates. Performance testing of the CO2RE also demonstrated that the device performs as intended.

Conclusion

Syneron's CO>RE System is a CO2 laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology. Testing demonstrated that the device performs as intended. The CO2RE System is substantially equivalent to its predicates.
