No
The summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.

Yes
The device is used for the "treatment" of lesions, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is described as being used for the "treatment" of lesions, indicating a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a laser device ("PhotoGenica YLV laser") which is a hardware component used for treatment. There is no indication that the submission is solely for software controlling this hardware, or for a standalone software device.

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 treatment of lesions, not for the diagnosis of a condition. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to a therapeutic device.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, diagnostic metrics, or any other information typically associated with IVDs.

This device appears to be a therapeutic laser used for medical treatment.
