755 nm: The PicoSure Workstation is indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesions removal. The PicoSure workstation with the 2mm and 6mm hand pieces and the Focus Array are indicated for the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles in Skin Types I - IV. 532 nm: The PicoSure 532 nm Laser Delivery System is indicated for tattoo removal in Skin Types I - III. 1064 nm: The PicoSure 1064 nm Laser Delivery System is indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesions removal.
Device Description
The PicoSure™ workstation is a high-powered, Alexandrite system that delivers laser energy in the 755-nm nominal wavelength. The system offers fast and efficient treatment through a variety of spot sizes, fluences and repetition rates. Laser activation is by footswitch. In addition to the 755 nm handpiece, optional 532 nm Laser Delivery System and/or 1064 nm Laser Delivery System can replace the 755 nm handpiece at the distal end of the articulated arm. These Delivery Systems convert the 755 nm laser energy into a 532 nm wavelength or a 1064 nm wavelength and are available in multiple spot sizes.
More Information

No
The document describes a laser system for tattoo and lesion removal and wrinkle treatment. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The performance studies focus on clinical efficacy and safety, not on the performance of any AI/ML algorithm.

Yes
The device is used for the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles, and for the removal of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions, which are all therapeutic applications.

No

The device is indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesion removal, and for the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles. These are therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "high-powered, Alexandrite system that delivers laser energy" and mentions handpieces and an articulated arm, indicating it is a hardware-based laser system, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "tattoo and benign pigmented lesions removal," "treatment of acne scars and wrinkles," and "tattoo removal." These are all therapeutic or cosmetic procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system that delivers energy to the patient's skin.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health status. This device is a therapeutic laser system used for direct treatment.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The study was performed using 66 subjects with a total of 79 tattoos. Subjects received up to 12 treatments, one every 6 weeks (+/- 2 weeks). Subjects were divided into two groups and treated exclusively with PicoSure, or their tattoo was split into two treatments areas, and treated with PicoSure and the predicate device. Three blinded reviewers performed an evaluation of photographs using a 6 points categorical efficacy scoring scale as well as rating the cattoos. Mean scores for all three evaluators were calculated per subject to determine overall mean scores. The results of the blinded evaluation were subjects treated with PicoSure were rated 4.1/6 overall mean score, showing the PicoSure to be as effective as the predicate device RevLite, which had an average score of 3.7/6. There were no deaths, serious adverse events (SAE) or unanticipated adverse device effects (UADEs) reported in this study. The primary objectives of the study; to assess overall treatment efficacy through blinded photographic evaluation using a 6 point scale to grade improvement, assess safety of the PicoSure laser through the recording of side effects during the course of the study, and compare efficacy of the PicoSure laser to the predicate device in a subset of patients, have been met.
