Intended Use
The SLIMUS is intended for non-invasive lipolysis of the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs in individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or less. The device is intended to affect the appearance of visible fat bulges in the abdomen, flanks, back, and thighs. Vibrator installed inside each hand-piece and operable only in non-laser output condition is intended for relief from minor muscle aches and pains.
Device Description
The SLIMUS device incorporates a laser system that emits a 1060 nm wavelength using a diode laser. Laser radiation is emitted from the laser main unit to the device's handpieces through the handpiece fibers. The device is used to noninvasively reduce the size of the waist of overweight patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 30 (kg/m²). A vibrator function is installed inside of each hand-piece and operable only in non-laser output mode. The device's handpieces are fixed to a belt which then combined provide mechanical vibration to the patient in order provide relief from minor muscle aches and pains.

No
The summary describes a laser lipolysis device with a vibrator function. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms for diagnosis, treatment planning, or device control beyond basic laser and vibration operation.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for non-invasive lipolysis to reduce fat, which is a therapeutic treatment. Additionally, the vibrator function is intended for relief from minor muscle aches and pains, which is also a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as being for "non-invasive lipolysis" and to "affect the appearance of visible fat bulges," which are therapeutic or cosmetic purposes, not diagnostic. Its vibrator function is for "relief from minor muscle aches and pains," also a therapeutic use. There is no mention of it being used to identify or analyze a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it incorporates a laser system and handpieces with vibrators, indicating it is a hardware device with software control, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the SLIMUS device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • SLIMUS Function: The SLIMUS device uses a laser and vibration to non-invasively treat fat bulges and provide relief from muscle aches. It acts directly on the body's tissues and does not involve the analysis of specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "non-invasive lipolysis" and "affect the appearance of visible fat bulges," and "relief from minor muscle aches and pains." These are all direct treatments or physical effects on the body, not diagnostic tests performed on samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system and vibrator applied externally to the body. There is no mention of collecting or analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the SLIMUS device falls under the category of a therapeutic or aesthetic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

8. No Clinical performance testing was performed.

9. Discussion of non-clinical testing.

The non-clinical data for the SLIMUS device, including bench testing, electrical medical device safety, electromagnetic field compatibility, laser safety, biocompatibility, hardware, and software documentation together support that the device can perform as intended.

10. Conclusions

The SLIMUS device shares the same intended use and similar technological characteristics with the predicate device. These do not raise new types of questions regarding safety and efficacy for the SLIMUS when compared to the predicate. Based on its technical characteristics, indications for use, and performance data, the SLIMUS device is considered to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
