No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts, and the intended use describes a laser device for tattoo removal and pigmented lesion treatment, which are typically hardware-driven procedures.

Yes
The device is intended for the "treatment of benign superficial pigmented skin lesions," which is a therapeutic application. The lightening of tattoos can also be considered a therapeutic, albeit cosmetic, treatment.

No
Explanation: The Intended Use/Indications for Use section describes the device's function as a treatment device for lightening tattoos and treating benign pigmented skin lesions, not for diagnosis.

No

The provided 510(k) summary is incomplete and lacks a device description. The intended use describes a device that uses "Q-SWITCHED MODE" and "LONG-PULSE MODE" for treating skin conditions, which strongly suggests a hardware-based laser or light therapy device, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for lightening tattoos and treating benign superficial pigmented skin lesions. These are procedures performed directly on the patient's skin, not on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on sample analysis.
    • Using reagents or assays.

Therefore, this device appears to be a therapeutic or aesthetic device used for skin treatments, 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.

Dear Dr. Quon:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
