The summary describes a laser system for tattoo and lesion removal and wrinkle treatment. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies. The performance evaluation relies on clinical assessment by dermatologists, not algorithmic analysis.
Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of various medical conditions such as acne scars, wrinkles, and benign pigmented lesions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a laser system indicated for the removal of tattoos, benign pigmented lesions, acne scars, and wrinkles, which are all treatment applications, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "high-powered, Alexandrite system that delivers laser energy" and includes physical components like handpieces and an articulated arm. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is for tattoo removal, benign pigmented lesion removal, acne scar treatment, and wrinkle treatment. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a laser system that delivers energy to the skin. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device. The performance studies involve evaluating the visual improvement of the treated areas on the patient.
In summary, the PicoSure Workstation is a therapeutic laser device used for cosmetic and dermatological treatments, not a device used for diagnosing conditions by examining samples outside the body.

Device Description
The PicoSureTM 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 755nm handpiece, optional 532nm Laser Delivery System and/or 1064nm Laser Delivery System can replace the 755nm handpiece at the distal end of the articulated arm. These Delivery Systems convert the 755nm laser energy into a 532nm wavelength or a 1064 nm wavelength, and are available in multiple spot sizes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A prospective clinical study was conducted using 30 treatment areas (2 areas for each of the 15 subjects), both male and female, in which the removal of benign pigmented lesions was performed using the PicoSure Workstation's 532nm Delivery System. Subjects in the study were 93% female, 7% male, and were between the ages (53 – 70) years old. They were a range of Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-III. All potential subjects were evaluated against the study's inclusion criteria to determine enrollment eligibility. During the course of the study, subjects received up to 4 treatments that were 4 weeks (+/- 2) apart using the PicoSure Workstation's 532mm wavelength haser energy. These subjects were then followed up on a (1 month) timeframe to assess for any adverse patient impacts at the treatment site. The clinical efficacy endpoint was evaluated through comparison of the pre-treatment images by three blinded, board certified Dermatologists as independent reviewers. The clinical investigator evaluated progress via the GAIS [Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale], where 91.1% of the subjects at [1 month follow-up] had a score of "1 – Very Much Improved". The safety endpoint sought to course of the study. All adverse effects from the clinical study were transient (resolving in 2-11 days) in form of reching, and blistering. These are all expected side effects from laser treatments. The objectives of the study were met and concluded that the use of PicoSure's 532nm Delivery System is a safe and effective method for the removal of benign pigmented lesions in Skin Types I-III.

807.92(b)(1) Non-clinical tests submitted
For this submission, software and electrical safety testing were not necessary for the expanded indication. However, incremental software updates required testing and was completed successfully. With regard to electrical safety, the device experienced only constructional changes as part of normal maintenance, so additional testing was not required. EMC testing was still performed on two components added to improve product reliability. All changes have been analyzed and successary. There necessary. There software updates/constructional changes do not affect the safety and efficacy of the PicoSure Workstation.
807.92(b)(2) Clinical tests submitted
A prospective clinical study was conducted using 30 treatment areas (2 areas for each of the 15 subjects), both male and female, in which the removal of benign pigmented lesions was performed using the PicoSure Workstation's 532nm Delivery System.
