The document describes a laser system with user-controlled parameters and a touch screen interface. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any features that suggest automated decision-making, pattern recognition, or learning from data. The performance studies focus on tissue effects and stone ablation rates, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.
Yes.
The device is intended for medical interventions such as incision, resection, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in various surgical fields, which are therapeutic actions.
No
The device is a therapeutic laser system intended for surgical procedures like incision, resection, ablation, coagulation, hemostasis, and vaporization, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical laser system with hardware components like a thulium fiber laser, footswitch, optical fiber, handpiece, and LED touch screen. While it has software for controlling parameters, it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the SOLTIVE™ Laser System is for surgical procedures involving the incision, resection, ablation, coagulation, hemostasis, and vaporization of soft tissue, and for lithotripsy (stone breaking). These are all in vivo procedures performed directly on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The device description details a laser system that delivers energy to tissue via a fiber optic cable. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a device used to analyze samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide diagnostic information. The focus is on direct therapeutic intervention.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The SOLTIVE™ Laser System's function is to perform surgical procedures, not to analyze samples for diagnostic purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies
Non-Clinical Tissue testing: Soft Tissue Thermal Effect Testing was performed to demonstrate that the laser system delivers clinically acceptable tissue thermal effect depths and widths due to accidental tissue exposure during lithotripsy. Each revised Preset Treatment Parameter was tested in comparison to the corresponding current Preset Treatment Parameter using porcine ureter tissue and 150um and 940um core diameter fibers. Laser setting values tested consist of a combination of minimum average power values, maximum average power values, and the preset treatment parameter values. All data sets demonstrated statistical equivalency with p-value greater than 0.05 between the data set containing the predicate preset and the data set containing revised presets, meeting the acceptance criteria of the Design Verification testing. This demonstrates the tissue effect from accidental exposure over the range of laser settings has remained unchanged despite the changes to the preset energy parameters.
Simulated Stone Ablation Testing was performed using 150um and 940um core diameter fibers and simulated stones to characterize stone ablation rate of revised preset energy parameters.
Software Verification and Validation: Software verification and validation regression testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff. "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software documentation for this device was considered as a "enhanced", since a failure or flaw of any device software function(s) could present a hazardous situation with a probable risk of death or serious injury, either to a patient, user of the device, or others in the environment of use.

VII. Performance Data
-
- Non-Clinical Tissue testing
Soft Tissue Thermal Effect Testing was performed to demonstrate that the laser system delivers clinically acceptable tissue thermal effect depths and widths due to accidental tissue exposure during lithotripsy. Each revised Preset Treatment Parameter was tested in comparison to the corresponding current Preset Treatment Parameter using porcine ureter tissue and 150um and 940um core diameter fibers. Laser setting values tested consist of a combination of minimum average power values, maximum average power values, and the preset treatment parameter values. All data sets demonstrated statistical equivalency with p-value greater than 0.05 between the data set containing the predicate preset and the data set containing revised presets, meeting the acceptance criteria of the Design Verification testing. This demonstrates the tissue effect from accidental exposure over the range of laser settings has remained unchanged despite the changes to the preset energy parameters.
- Non-Clinical Tissue testing
Simulated Stone Ablation Testing was performed using 150um and 940um core diameter fibers and simulated stones to characterize stone ablation rate of revised preset energy parameters.
-
- Software Verification and Validation
Software verification and validation regression testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff. "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software documentation for this device was considered as a "enhanced", since a failure or flaw of any device software function(s) could present a hazardous situation with a probable risk of death or serious injury, either to a patient, user of the device, or others in the environment of use.
- Software Verification and Validation
VIII. Conclusion:
Based on the non-clinical tissue testing and software validation and verification testing, the modified device was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
