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.

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.

Dear Sanghwa Myung:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
