The device description and summary of performance studies focus on the hardware components, laser technology, and standard electrical and safety testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms that would suggest the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of body soft tissues for various medical specialities, which are therapeutic actions.
No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the NaturaLase CO2 laser is used for surgical procedures (incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation) and skin resurfacing, which are therapeutic and not diagnostic functions.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a laser tube, power supply, optical bench assembly, articulated arm, and hand-pieces. While it mentions a software-based touch screen controller, the device is fundamentally a hardware system that utilizes software for control.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The NaturaLase CO2 laser is described as a surgical laser used for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of body soft tissues. It directly interacts with the patient's body during a procedure.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient. Its function is to deliver laser energy to tissue.
Therefore, the NaturaLase CO2 laser falls under the category of a therapeutic or surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The NaturaLase CO2 is an RF excited CO2 laser. The main console of the NaturaLase CO2 laser system contains the following components:
- CO2 laser tube
- Power Supply
- Optical bench assembly
- Articulated Arm
- Hand-pieces: scanning and surgical
- Touch screen controller/user interface
The laser source is a sealed CO2 laser tube that is mounted vertically within the main cabinet and the laser beam is passed from the laser tube into the articulated arm. The NaturaLase CO2 laser unit is equipped with a switching-mode power supply, which converts the input line voltage to the high voltage required for laser operation. The optical bench assembly consists of the articulated arm mount, the aiming beam diode laser (3mW @ 650nm) and optics to align the laser beam and the aiming beam to the articulated arm. The laser energy is delivered through an articulated arm to a hand-piece (scanner or surgical) that distributes the laser energy on the target in a controlled and uniformed way. The user-interface microprocessor-based touch screen allows operator to control all operating functions.

III. Device Description:
The NaturaLase CO2 is an RF excited CO2 laser. The main console of the NaturaLase CO2 laser system contains the following components:
- CO2 laser tube
- Power Supply
- Optical bench assembly
- Articulated Arm
- Hand-pieces: scanning and surgical
- Touch screen controller/user interface
The laser source is a sealed CO2 laser tube that is mounted vertically within the main cabinet and the laser beam is passed from the laser tube into the articulated arm. The NaturaLase CO2 laser unit is equipped with a switching-mode power supply, which converts the input line voltage to the high voltage required for laser operation. The optical bench assembly consists of the articulated arm mount, the aiming beam diode laser (3mW @ 650nm) and optics to align the laser beam and the aiming beam to the articulated arm. The laser energy is delivered through an articulated arm to a hand-piece (scanner or surgical) that distributes the laser energy on the target in a controlled and uniformed way. The user-interface microprocessor-based touch screen allows operator to control all operating functions.
IV. Indication for Use:
NaturaLase CO2 laser operating in traditional non-fractionated mode is indicated for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of body soft tissues including intraoral tissues, in medical specialties including aesthetic (dermatology and plastic surgery), otolaryngology (ENT), gynecology, urology, neurosurgery, dental and oral surgery and genitourinary surgery. NaturaLase CO2 laser operating in fractional mode is indicated for ablative skin resurfacing.
V. Technological Characteristics:
The NaturaLase CO2 laser technical specifications are very similar to the predicate devices. All have the same intended use, technological characteristics and operating principles as the previously cleared NaturaLase CO2 Laser system (K110333) and Quanta System YOULASER Laser System (K123573). The NaturaLase CO2 laser design and components are very similar to those of the predicate devices. Their treatment handpieces connected to the articulated arm that is connected to the main console where the user interface is located. Differences between the NaturaLase CO2 laser and predicate devices in specific maximum energy levels and fluence delivered do not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues because the NaturaLase CO2 laser parameters fall within the range of parameters delivered by the predicate devices.
VI. Testing Performance
All performance testing demonstrated that the NaturaLase CO2 laser performs according to specifications and functions as intended. The NaturaLase CO2 laser system was determined to be in conformance with all applicable standards. Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing for the NaturaLase CO2 laser system was conducted by an independent laboratory

in accordance with IEC 60601-1. Medical electrical equipment, part 1: general requirements for basic safety and essential performance. The NaturaLase CO2 laser was determined to be in conformance with applicable IEC standards (IEC 62366, 60601-1-6, 60601-1-6, 60601-2-22, and IEC 60825-1). The biocompatibility of the NaruraLase CO2 laser is consistent with the ISO 10993.
Software verification and validation testing results are acceptable for software release.
VII. Summary of Substantial Equivalence
Review of the technological characteristics for the primary predicate device and the NaturaLase CO2 Laser shows close similarity in parameters principally for generating tissue effects (see Table below).
The NaturaLase CO2 laser has the same intended use as the predicate devices with similar indications for use. It presents similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices including the laser type, wavelengths, device design, pulse width, frequency, spot sizes and system components. Few differences between the NaturaLase CO2 laser and its predicate devices in terms of maximum pulse energy, fluence, pulse duration, etc, do not present any new concerns of safety and effectiveness. The NaturaLase CO2 laser and its predicates all operate with the same mechanism of action based on selective photothermolysis. Therefore, the NaturaLase CO2 laser has the same intended use and similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as predicate devices. The NaturaLase CO2 laser is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
