PicoWay Laser System (K170597)
No
The summary describes a laser and IPL system with standard controls and performance testing, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes.
The device is intended for use in medical specialties to treat conditions like benign vascular lesions, acne scars, and wrinkles, which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is described as a laser family intended for aesthetic, cosmetic, and surgical applications, performing actions like incision, excision, ablation, and coagulation. It does not mention any function for identifying, classifying, or detecting diseases or health conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a laser family with hardware components like laser sources, handpieces, articulated arms, and a footswitch, 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:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "aesthetic, cosmetic and surgical applications requiring incision, excision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of body soft tissues." This involves direct interaction with the patient's body for treatment purposes.
- Device Description: The device is a laser system that emits light at specific wavelengths to interact with tissues. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- 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 screening purposes. This device does not perform such examinations.
The device is a therapeutic laser system used for various dermatological and surgical procedures.

Device Description
The Discovery Pico Family is a laser family that includes Q-Switched and/or Pulsed laser sources, emitting at one or more of the following wavelengths: 532 nm, 1064 nm, 694 nm (Ruby laser) The Discovery Pico Family systems, through the special universal Twain connector, can be equipped with intense pulsed light handpieces (Twain IPL) emitting at the following wavelengths: 650-1200nm, 625-1200nm, 590-1200nm, 570-1200nm, 550-1200nm, 400-1200nm.
The Discovery Pico Family systems, when operating with Pulsed laser sources and IPL, can be used in combination with optional contact, or air, cooling systems.
The optical delivery system is an articulated arm with fixed handpieces. The optical delivery system for the IPL system is a handpiece (Twain IPL) with fixed or interchangeable light filters at different wavelengths.
All the models belonging to the Discovery Pico Family have the same components and the same control software. The only difference between different models is the optical bench that depends on the sources installed.
The Discovery Pico Family is controlled via a touch screen display housed in the front of the device.
Emission is triggered by means of a footswitch.

Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
Biocompatibility:
The biocompatibility of the Discovery Pico Family is established based on the predicate devices.
Comparison with predicate device:
The subject device and primary predicate have comparable general intended use and technological characteristics. Expanded specific indications for use for the fractional handpieces are supported by comparable technological specification within the subject device and the reference predicate.
Any minor differences do not present any new types of safety or effectiveness questions since the Discovery Pico Family parameters are similar to or within the range of the predicates.
Summary
Testing of the Discovery Pico Family demonstrated that the device performs as intended. The Discovery Pico Family is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
