The summary describes a passive laser delivery device (fibers and probes) and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of the fibers.
No.
The device description indicates that the A.R.C laser surgery fibers and probes are intended for delivery of laser energy to soft tissue for surgical procedures such as incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis or coagulation, which are surgical interventions rather than therapeutic treatments.
No
The device is described as a surgical laser delivery device intended for procedures like incision, excision, vaporization, and ablation, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (quartz core, SMA 905 connector, bare tip) and their function in delivering laser energy, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for the "delivery of laser energy to soft tissue... during surgical procedures." This is a therapeutic or surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a laser delivery system designed to interact directly with tissue, not to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is to deliver energy for surgical procedures.

Device Description
The A.R.C. surgical laser fibers & probes are single use laser delivery devices provided EO sterile and intended for medical applications in various fields of laser surgery.
The devices are based on a quartz core, have a length of 6.5 feet (2 meters) to 9.9 feet (3 meters) and a wavelength range between 450nm to 2100nm.
The proximal end of the fibers is connected to a cleared laser system via an SMA 905 connector, while the distal end delivers the laser energy to the target tissue in pulsed and continuous wave mode.
The distal end have a bare tip which may be flat or spherical, and may be used with a variety of sterile hand pieces for the various intended uses and effects.

Dear Ms. Thyzel:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

The text "A.R.C." is in large, bold, white letters, with "LASER" in a smaller font size directly below it. Underneath the word "LASER" is the tagline "enlighten your surgery" in a smaller, italicized font.
The proximal end of the fibers is connected to a cleared laser system via an SMA 905 connector, while the distal end delivers the laser energy to the target tissue in pulsed and continuous wave mode.
The distal end have a bare tip which may be flat or spherical, and may be used with a variety of sterile hand pieces for the various intended uses and effects.
Intended
Use:
The A.R.C. laser surgery fibers & probes are intended for delivery of laser energy to soft tissue in the contact and non-contact mode during surgical procedures, including via endoscopes. The fibers are indicated for use in general surgical applications for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis or coagulation of soft tissue.
The A.R.C. Laser Surgery Fibers & Probes are indicated for use in General Surgery, Urology, Gynecology and ENT with a cleared compatible laser marketed for the mentioned intended uses and using an SMA 905 connector.
Substantial
Equivalence:
The A.R.C. laser surgery fibers & probes have the same mechanism of action, same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices, the Adler MicroMed Laser Surgery Fibers, K152417.
Thus, we conclude that the A.R.C. Laser Surgery Fibers & Probes are as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
