No
The provided text describes a laser system with various wavelengths and modes for treating dermatological conditions. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The description focuses solely on the physical properties and applications of the laser.

Yes
The device is used to treat various medical conditions and symptoms, such as acne scars, wrinkles, rosacea, port wine stains, and different types of lesions and nevi, which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is used for treatment and removal procedures (ablation, vaporization, resurfacing, removal, treatment), not for diagnosis.

No

The device is described as a "Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser System," which is a hardware-based medical device that uses laser technology for various dermatological procedures. The description of wavelengths and modes of operation further confirms it is a physical device, not software.

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 intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a laser system used for incision, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue, as well as various treatments on the skin (tattoo removal, hair removal, lesion treatment, wrinkle treatment, etc.). These are all in vivo procedures, meaning they are performed directly on the living body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body.

Therefore, the Q10 Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser System, as described, is a therapeutic medical device used for procedures performed directly on the patient, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
