More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser system for surgical applications and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is clearly indicated for surgical applications requiring photothermolysis, excision, incision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissue, which are all therapeutic actions.

No

The device is described as an aesthetic surgical laser used for various surgical applications requiring photothermolysis, excision, incision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissue. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components, including a laser console, articulated arm, fiber port, control panels, footswitch, handswitch, remote control, and various delivery device accessories. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The device is indicated for use in surgical applications requiring photothermolysis, excision, incision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissue. These are procedures performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system with components like a console, articulated arm, handpieces, and controls, all designed for delivering laser energy to tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

The device is clearly a surgical laser system intended for therapeutic and aesthetic procedures performed directly on a patient.
