The device description focuses on the physical components and energy delivery mechanism of a diode laser for soft tissue procedures. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision-making within the provided text.
Yes
The device is used for a variety of surgical procedures and treatments on human soft tissue, including sulcular debridement, lesion removal, and periodontal procedures, which align with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No.
The device description and indicated uses clearly show it is a surgical tool, used for soft tissue procedures and treatments by delivering laser energy to human soft tissue to convert to heat.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as solid-state diodes, an optical fiber system, a handpiece assembly, disposable tips, and a foot-actuated switch, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body.
- Device Function: The Sterling Diode Laser is a surgical device that delivers laser energy directly to human soft tissue for various dental and oral procedures. It is used on the body, not on samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's tissues.
- Device Description: The description details how the laser energy is delivered to the surgical site via an optical fiber and handpiece, which is consistent with a surgical tool.
Therefore, the Sterling Diode Laser falls under the category of a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The Sterling 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 ± 10nm for a maximum of 5 watts of energy is delivered to the 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 target tissues absorb the laser energy converting it to heat. depending on the intensity or power output of the laser, the heat so generated can cell hemostasis, ablation, or vaporization. The device features some user definable settings, including a selectable 630nm aiming beam, adjustable power output for both the working beam and aiming beam, and continuous delivery or pulse delivery options. The optical fiber is stored within the device and dispensed to the desired length according to the clinician's need. A fiber is passed through a reusable, sterilizeable handpiece assembly and terminated with a single-use disposable tip. The operator uses the handpiece to position and direct the laser energy to the intended treatment site. The activation of the working beam diodes is accomplished by use of a foot-actuated switch.
