Intended Use
Wavelength range 430-1064 Nanometer In this wavelength range, SureScan is designed to assist in the partial or full coagulation or denaturization of a variety of benign epidermal vascular and pigmented lesions where precise dosimetry is required to minimize damage to adjacent or underlying tissue layers. SureScan use is restricted for adaptation to those lasers that have received FDA clearance for applications in cutaneous laser surgery for the treatment of benign superficial vascular and pigmented lesions such as port wine stains angiomas, telangiectasia, café-au-lait marks, age spots, lentigines, tattoos and similar conditions. Wavelength range 1440-10640 Nanometer In this wavelength range. SureScan is designed to assist in a variety of procedures that require the ablation of soft tissue, where precise removal is required to minimize damage to adjacent or underlying tissue layers. SureScan use is restricted for adaptation to those lasers that have received FDA clearance for soft tissue ablation, such as scars, keloids, warts, skin malformations and similar conditions.
Device Description
SureScan adapts to laser systems with wavelengths in the visible spectrum from 430nm to 700nm ( blue, green, yellow and red ) and to lasers in the invisible spectrum from 755nm to 2940nm to deliver precise amounts of energy to tissue. SureScan comes equipped with multiple treatment patterns in multiple sizes. SureScan is programmable to enable adjustment of scan speed across tissue to ensure uniform laser absorption or ablation which significantly reduces thermal damage and thus the potential for post operative scarring. SureScan also has an adjustable spot overlap density and scanner dwell time feature which allows the surgeon to select individual treatment parameters most suitable for various tissue types and lesions. SureScan employs a microprocessor controlled, mirror system for scanning the laser beam. SureScan juxtaposes laser beam spots with precisely controlled timing and predetermined amounts of space in between or with spatial overlap of these spots. Depending on the type of laser used and its wavelength, highly controlled tissue coagulation or ablation is achieved with minimal thermal injury. SureScan's operation is controlled via an existing laser foot switch, to eliminate any adjustment of the internal electronics or workings of the laser. To ensure precise transmission of the laser beam through the SureScan device and subsequent safe delivery of laser energy to tissue, a user controlled adjustment feature allows for realignment of the laser beam due to a misaligned fiber or other delivery system as it is directed through the SureScan hand piece. As a result, the operator is always assured of optimum beam quality without 'clipping', as the laser beam exits the SureScan hand piece. Different sized squares, rectangles, triangles, hexagons, parallelograms and lines may be selected and are outlined by the laser systems pilot laser. These various patterns are then automatically covered by the therapeutic laser and coagulate, denaturize or ablate tissue in a single scan cycle. This results in a more predictable and controlled tissue effect to optimize treatment results.

No
The description focuses on microprocessor-controlled mirror systems, programmable patterns, and adjustable parameters for laser delivery, without mentioning any learning, adaptation, or data-driven decision-making processes characteristic of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to assist in the partial or full coagulation or denaturization of various benign epidermal vascular and pigmented lesions and for the ablation of soft tissue, which are medical procedures for treatment.

No

The device is designed to assist in coagulation, denaturization, or ablation of tissue, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly details hardware components such as a microprocessor-controlled mirror system, a hand piece, and a user-controlled adjustment feature for beam realignment. It also describes the device adapting to existing laser systems, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • SureScan's Function: SureScan is a device that adapts to laser systems to deliver precise amounts of laser energy to tissue for therapeutic purposes (coagulation, denaturization, or ablation). It directly interacts with the patient's body during a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention any collection, preparation, or analysis of specimens from the human body. The device's function is to modify tissue directly.

Therefore, SureScan falls under the category of a therapeutic device used in cutaneous laser surgery and soft tissue ablation, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
