More Information

No
The summary describes a laser system accessory with optical components and does not mention any AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described for "the removal of tattoos and the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions," which are therapeutic applications.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states the device is "for the removal of tattoos and the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions," which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic. There is no mention of identifying, analyzing, or predicting a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of hardware components like a handpiece, dye module, power meter, and safety goggles, indicating it is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal of tattoos and the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions in dermatology. This is a therapeutic and cosmetic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system accessory used for delivering laser energy to tissue. This is consistent with a therapeutic device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function falls outside of that definition.
