No
The document describes a surgical CO2 laser and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

Yes
The device is a surgical laser intended for soft tissue incision, specifically Myringotomy/Tympanostomy, which are therapeutic procedures.

No.
The device is a surgical laser intended for soft tissue incision, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a surgical laser that emits a treatment laser beam and an aiming beam, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "soft tissue incision in ENT for the specific indication of Myringotomy/Tympanostomy." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "surgical laser" that "emit[s] a treatment laser beam." This is a therapeutic device used for treatment, not for analyzing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

This device is clearly a surgical tool used for a specific medical procedure.

510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Sharplan Lasers, Inc. CO2 Laser Systems for Laser Assisted Myringotomy/Tympanostomy Indication (continued)

  1. From a design and clinical perspective, the predicate and candidate laser devices, are of the same technology (they are identical), and have the same intended use. The other predicate device, which is a surgical scalpel, has the same intended use as the candidate device. Based upon an analysis of the overall performance characteristics for the devices, Sharplan Lasers, Inc. believes that no significant differences exist. Furthermore, this expanded indication should not raises any concerns regarding the safety or effectiveness of the Sharplan Lasers, Inc. CO2 Laser Systems for a Laser Assisted Myringotomy/Tympanostomy Indication
