No
The summary describes a laser device for soft tissue procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device description indicates it is a laser for coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue, which are surgical procedures, not therapeutic ones.

No

Explanation: The device description states its intended use is for "coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue," which are treatment functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an erbium: YAG laser, which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the MCL 29 Dermablate laser is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue (skin)". This describes a direct surgical or therapeutic intervention on the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The MCL 29 Dermablate laser does not perform such tests.
  • Device Description: The description of the device as an "erbium: YAG of power at 2.94um" further supports its function as a laser for tissue manipulation, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the MCL 29 Dermablate laser falls under the category of a therapeutic or surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 878.4810 Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.

(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.

Laser surgical instrument for use in Classification general and plastic surgery and in Name 21 CFR 878.4810). dermatology (see: Product Code: GEX .

Legally marketed Schwartz Electro-Optics, Inc. TriLase 2940 predicate devices Erbium Laser; Continuum Biomed, Inc., Multilite Erbium Laser System

The MCL 29 Dermablate laser is an Description of erbium: YAG of power at 2.94um. See below the Device: for additional specifications.

Intended Use of the The MCL 29 Dermablate laser is intended for MCL 29 Dermablate coagulation, vaporization, ablation, or cutting of soft tissue (skin) in dermatollaser: ogy, plastic surgery (including aesthetic

1

surgery), and in oral man surgery, and ophthalmology (oculoplasty).

This intended use is the same or similar to that for the claimed predicate devices (see below).

Comparison of specifications of MCL 29 Dermablate and the claimed predicate devices:

| Specification | MCL 29 Dermablate
Laser | TriLase 2940 Erbium
Laser | Multilite Erbium
Laser System |
|--------------------|------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| Type of laser | Er: YAG | Er: YAG | Er: YAG |
| Power | 6 Watts maximum | 5 Watts maximum | |
| Wavelength | 2.94 um | 2.94 um | 2.94 um |
| Pulse width | 350 usec | 300 usec
(option: continuous) | 100-400 usec |
| Frequency | 5-15 Hz | 5-20 Hz | 1-10 Hz |
| Spot size | 1.6mm, 3mm, 5mm | Focusing handpiece | |
| mJ energy | 100-800 mJ | 1 J/pulse maximum | 30 mJ min., 1 J max. |
| Beam delivery | Articulated arm | Articulated arm | Articulated arm |
| Cooling | Water/air heat
exchanger | Internal heat
exchanger | Internal heat

| Aiming beam | 635 nm diode, 1 mW | 3 mW, red helium neon | 635 nm diode Because of this, performance data were not required.

CONCLUSION : Based on the foregoing and other information in this application, AESCULAP-MEDITEC believes that the MCL 29 Dermablate laser is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, i.e., the Schwartz Electro-Optics, Inc. TriLase 2940 erbium laser (K954013) and the Continuum Biomed, Inc. Multilite erbium laser system (K961748).
