Intended Use
The Sharplan Model 713 AF Acuspot Micromanipulator is substantially equivalent to the following devices: The Sharplan Model 712 Micromanipulator, the Reliant UniMax Model 2000, and the Heraeus LaserSonics Ultraspot Micromanipulator. It is indicated for incision, excision, coagulation, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue, to be used with compatible, legally marketed surgical lasers.
Device Description
The Sharplan Model 713 AF Acuspot Micromanipulator is an accessory for a CO2 Surgical Laser. It attaches to the distal end of an articulated arm and connects to a surgical microscope. Its purpose is to allow a physician the ability to focus and steer laser beams so that when tissue is visualized, it can be selectively treated.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical accessory for a surgical laser used for focusing and steering the laser beam. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components.

Yes
The device is used for incision, excision, coagulation, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue using a surgical laser, which are all therapeutic actions.

No

The device is described as an accessory for a surgical laser, indicated for incision, excision, coagulation, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue. Its purpose is to allow a physician to focus and steer laser beams for selective tissue treatment. This describes a therapeutic, not a diagnostic, function.

No

The device description clearly states it is an accessory for a CO2 Surgical Laser and attaches to an articulated arm and surgical microscope, indicating it is a physical hardware 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 device is for "incision, excision, coagulation, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue" using surgical lasers. This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's tissue, not a test performed on a sample of tissue or body fluid outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by explaining it's an accessory for a surgical laser that allows a physician to "focus and steer laser beams so that when tissue is visualized, it can be selectively treated." This is a tool for performing surgery.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.
