No
The document describes a laser system for aesthetic treatments and hair reduction. While it includes a melanin reader, there is no mention of AI or ML being used in the device's operation, control, or data analysis. The software updates mentioned are related to fluence levels and branding, not AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is indicated for various medical treatments, including vascular lesions, benign pigmented lesions, wrinkles, warts, scars, striae, psoriasis, and pseudo folliculitis barbae (PFB), which are therapeutic applications.
No
The Elite iQ PRO Laser System is intended for aesthetic treatments such as hair reduction, treatment of vascular lesions, benign pigmented lesions, and wrinkles. While it includes a Skintel Reader for objective measurement of skin melanin content to determine treatment settings, its primary function is therapeutic/aesthetic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "dual wavelength system that delivers laser energy" and includes physical components like handpieces, a workstation, and a Skintel Reader. While it has software, it is an integral part of a hardware system.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a laser system for aesthetic and therapeutic treatments (hair reduction, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, wrinkles, etc.). It also includes a melanin reader to help determine treatment parameters. None of these uses involve examining specimens derived from the human body in vitro to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- Device Description: The description details a laser system and a melanin reader. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not contain any keywords or phrases typically associated with IVD devices, such as "in vitro," "specimen," "assay," "analyte," "diagnosis," "monitoring," or "laboratory."
- Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are related to electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and laser safety, which are standard for medical devices but not specific to IVD performance evaluation (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy of analyte measurement).
The Skintel Reader, while measuring melanin content, is described as an "objective measurement tool for examining skin melanin content for determining and setting a test spot starting fluence." This is a measurement taken on the body (in vivo) to guide treatment parameters, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description
The Elite iQ™ PRO workstation is a dual wavelength system that delivers laser energy in both the Nd:YAG (1064-nm) and Alexandrite (755-nm) wavelengths. Through various spot sizes, fluences and repetition rates, the system offers hair removal treatment and aesthetic treatments across all skin types. An Alexandrite standalone workstation is also available for purchase. The Elite iQ PRO delivers the laser energy through a lens-coupled optical fiber with a wide range of interchangeable, quick-release laser handpieces with electronic spot recognition. The Elite iQ PRO also includes the Skintel® Melanin Reader for objective measurement of the melanin content of skin.
The locking casters allow this stand-alone laser system to be secured in place, as well as to be conveniently moved or transported. When not in use, handpiece components and other system components can be stowed in the storage area located in the side drawer. All system connections, such as the foot switch and remote interlock connections, are located on the rear of the laser. This includes all applicable device labels. User-selectable controls and functions are located on the front of the laser.
Elite iQ PRO software features include a Windows® operating system, LCD touch screen and a state-of-the-art graphic user interface. The software of the device was changed to update the fluence levels for the handpieces in order to support the new 30mm handpiece. The new 30 mm handpiece is also part of the DEKA AGAIN PRO device (K233090). The new fluence levels are within range of the previously approved ranges in the Elite iQ device (K193426). The software was also updated to reflect the Elite iQ PRO branding.
There are no changes to the principle of use of the device compared to the predicates Elite iQ Laser System (K193426) and DEKA AGAIN PRO (K233090).
The labeling of the device has been updated to reflect the name of the device Elite IQ PRO Laser System.

Conclusion
The Elite iQ PRO Laser System shares similar technological characteristics, theory of operation, design, and indications with its predicates Elite iQ (K193426) and DEKA AGAIN PRO (K233090) as described in the tables above. Like its predicates, the Elite iQ PRO utilizes 1064nm (Nd: YAG) and 755nm (Alexandrite) lasers for the removal of hair, vascular lesions, etc. Additionally, the Elite iQ PRO is now able to reach a repetition rate of 12 Hz and has a new 30 mm handpiece similar to the DEKA AGAIN PRO. There are no changes to the Skintel Melanin Reader.
Based on the information presented above, it is determined that the proposed Elite iQ PRO Laser System is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
