No
The document describes a laser system with standard components and user-controlled settings. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any features that would suggest the use of such technologies for analysis, decision-making, or automated control beyond basic system functions.
Yes
The device is described as treating various medical conditions, including benign vascular lesions, benign cutaneous lesions, and wrinkles, through coagulation and hemostasis using laser energy. These applications directly address health issues and modify body function for therapeutic purposes.
No
The provided text describes the Vbeam Prima Laser System as a treatment device for various benign vascular and cutaneous lesions, as well as wrinkles. Its intended use is for photocoagulation and hemostasis, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the Vbeam Prima Laser system is comprised of a main console, power supply, controlled electronics, firmware, software, cooling system, and handpieces, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a laser system used for the treatment of various skin and vascular lesions. This involves applying energy to the body for therapeutic purposes.
- Device Description: The device description details a laser system with handpieces, cooling mechanisms, and controls for delivering laser energy. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis. IVDs are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor conditions.
In summary, the Vbeam Prima Laser System is a therapeutic device used for treating medical conditions, not a diagnostic device used for analyzing samples to determine a diagnosis.

Device Description
The Vbeam Prima Laser system is designed as a transportable device that delivers laser energy at wavelengths of 595 nm (pulse-dye) or 1064 nm (Nd: YAG). The device is comprised of a main console, power supply, controlled electronics, firmware, software, cooling system, and handpieces. There is also an internal calibration port with an internal meter located in the system. The handpiece offers a set of distance gauges available in the following spot ranges: 3-7 mm, 11-15 mm, and 3 X 10 mm. The user selects treatment settings, such as fluence, number of pulses, and spot size selection via a color touch screen. The handpiece incorporates a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) into its handpiece that is designed to cool the skin surface during treatment, which consists of an electrically controlled spray nozzle, cryogen reservoir canister and an electronic control circuitry. The Vbeam Prima Laser System also offers an optional EverCool Delivery System Handpiece for skin cooling during treatment.
