755mm: Temporary hair reduction. Stable long-term or permanent reduction targeting of melanin in hair follicles. Permanent hair reduction is defined as long-term stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing after a treatment regime. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime. On all skin types (Fitzpatrick I- VI) including tanned skin. Treatment of benign pigmented lesions. Treatment of wrinkles. The photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions (such as port-wine stains, hemangiomas). 1064nm: Removal of unwanted hair, for stable long term or permanent hair reduction and for treatment hair reduction is defined as the long-term. stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime. The lasers are indicated on all skin types Fitzpatrick I-VI including tanned skin. Photocoagulation and hemostasis of pigmented and vascular lesions such as but not limited to port wine stains, hemangioma, warts, telangiectasia, rosacea, venus and spider veins. Coagulation and hemostasis of soft tissue. Benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to, lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots), cafe au lait macules, seborrheic keratosis, nevi, chloasma, verucae, skin tags, keratosis, tattoos (significant reduction in the intensity of black and/or blue-black tattoos) and plaques. The laser is indicated for pigmented lesion size. for patients with lesions that would potentially benefit from aggressive treatment, and for patients with lesions that have not responded to other laser treatments. Reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral part of the scar. Treatment of wrinkles. Temporary increase of clear nail in patients with onychomycosis (e.g., dermatophytes, Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes, and/or yeast Candida Albicans, etc.)
Device Description
The GentleMax Pro Plus contains two separate laser heads (Alexandrite and Nd:YAG), which produce laser light outputs of 755 nm and 1064 nm, respectively. The output of each laser head is optically combined on the laser rail, so that their beam paths are identical as they exit the laser system. This allows the use of a single delivery system which can output either 755 nm or 1064 nm wavelengths. The laser system creates a beam of high intensity light that penetrates deep into the skin tissue where it delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat. The Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) protects the upper layers of the skin with a cooling burst of cryogen.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a laser system for dermatological treatments and does not mention any AI or ML components in its description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes

The device is intended for the treatment of various medical conditions such as pigmented and vascular lesions, wrinkles, scars, and onychomycosis, delivering a "controlled amount of therapeutic heat" to deep skin tissue, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that it is a therapeutic device for skin and hair treatments, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it contains two separate laser heads and a delivery system, indicating it is a hardware device that produces laser light. The software verification and validation mentioned are likely for controlling the hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly indicate that this device is a laser system used for various dermatological and cosmetic procedures performed directly on the patient's body. These procedures involve applying laser energy to the skin for purposes like hair reduction, treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, and wrinkle reduction.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples taken from the patient.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic or surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

7. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The GentleMax Pro Plus contains two separate laser heads (Alexandrite and Nd:YAG), which produce laser light outputs of 755 nm and 1064 nm, respectively. The output of each laser head is optically combined on the laser rail, so that their beam paths are identical as they exit the laser system. This allows the use of a single delivery system which can output either 755 nm or 1064 nm wavelengths. The laser system creates a beam of high intensity light that penetrates deep into the skin tissue where it delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat. The Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) protects the upper layers of the skin with a cooling burst of cryogen.

8. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The new GentleMax Pro Plus system has the same design, technological characteristics, operating principles, and intended use as the Candela GentleMax Family of Laser System (K140122). The devices share the same technical features, such as calibration port, wavelengths, laser medium, delivery systems, power supply, cooling system, electronics, firmware and user display screen. The devices share the same operating principles, such as energy but the Gentle Max Pro Plus offers a faster repetition rate, and offers larger spot sizes. Any minor differences do not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness questions because the GentleMax Pro Plus parameters are similar to the predicates.
