The summary describes a multi-wavelength laser platform with various surgical and therapeutic indications. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The control is described as a microcontroller with a touch-screen interface, which is standard for medical devices and does not imply AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The intended uses explicitly include "Temporary relief of muscle and joint pain and stiffness, arthritis pain or muscle spasm, temporary increase in local blood circulation and/or promoting relaxation of muscle" for several of the laser modules (1064 nm Diode Laser in therapy, 670 nm Diode Laser in low level laser therapy, 808 nm Diode Laser in therapy), which are therapeutic indications.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists various surgical and therapeutic procedures, such as incision, excision, ablation, coagulation, removal of tissues, scaling, cavity preparation, and pain relief. These are all treatment functions, not diagnostic functions. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Laser Platform" consisting of a console, footswitch, and attachable laser modules, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Fotona SkyPulse Laser Platform is a therapeutic laser system. Its intended uses involve directly treating tissues within the body (dentistry, dermatology, surgery, therapy). It is used for procedures like cutting, ablating, coagulating, and stimulating tissue.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description and intended uses do not mention the analysis of any biological specimens outside of the body. The device interacts directly with the patient's tissues.
Therefore, the Fotona SkyPulse Laser Platform falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Fotona SkyPulse Laser Platform consists of a console, a footswitch and attachable laser modules. The Fotona SkyPulse Laser Platform is a multi-application, multi-technology platform that supports the following modules: i) Flash-lamp pumped solid state laser modules and ii) Diode laser modules. Output parameters and other system features are controlled from the touch-screen control panel on the console, which provides an interface to the system microcontroller through an LCD touch-screen. The console allows simultenous attachment of a solid state laser module and a diode module with up to three selectable diode laser wavelengths.
The following therapeutic laser modules are currently available with the SkyPulse platform: 2940 nm Er:YAG Laser Module, 1064 nm Diode Laser Module, 808 nm Diode Laser Module, 670 nm Diode Laser Module, 980 nm Diode Laser Module, 1470 nm Diode Laser Module and 1940 nm Diode Laser Module. A diode aiming beam is combined with all therapeutic laser beams. The combined therapeutic and aiming beams are guided either through an articulated arm to an optical handpiece (in the case of the Er: YAG laser), or through an optical fiber delivery system to an optical handpiece or to the bare fiber distal end.

Dear Marko Berdajs:
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
1
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Fotona SkyPulse Laser Platform has either identical or similar applicable technological and design characteristics (design, chemical composition, energy source, wavelength, active medium, cooling system, power supply, beam delivery, controls, housing) as the previously cleared Fotona LightWalker Laser System Family (K191554), Biolase WaterLase Laser System Family (K190319), Fotona Dynamis Pro Laser System Family (K182088), Sciton Joule Multi-Platorform System (K101916), Fox Q-810, Q-980 and Q-1064 Diode Laser (K073322), G.N.S neoLaser neoV Diode Laser Family (K133006), Dentsply Sirona SIROLaser Advance+ (K170500), Fotona XD Diode Laser System (K083034), AMD Picasso Plus (K152939), MedX Electronics MedX LPS 200 Portable Laser (Oralase) (K082707), Biolase ezlase (K083069), Biolase Epic Pro (K163128) and G.N.S neoLaser neoV980 & neoV1470 Diode Lasers (K152722). The output characteristics are for the intended use the same as those of the predicate devices. All lasers utilize Class II aiming beams which pose no hazard to the user. All systems are microprocessor controlled devices. The microprocessor control regulates normal operation, permits parameter selection and avoids hazard incidence. All systems utilize an internal closed loop water-air heat exchanger circuit for optimal thermal control of the laser cavity. The risks and benefits for the Fotona SkyPulse Laser Platform are identical to the predicate devices when used for similar clinical applications.
A comparison of the technical specifications for the intended use of the Fotona SkyPulse Laser Platform with the previously cleared devices is provided in Tables 1-7.
