No
The device description explicitly states, "The Nuvo-Lase 660 Laser System is not a computer controlled device." This strongly indicates the absence of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for use in the treatment of various vascular and pigmented lesions of the skin, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The intended use is for the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a laser system, handpiece, footswitch, and power requirements, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Nuvo-Lase 660 Laser System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for the treatment of selected vascular and pigmented lesions of the skin. IVD devices are used for the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system designed to deliver light energy to tissue for therapeutic purposes (photocoagulation). This is a direct treatment modality, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Nuvo-Lase 660 Laser System is a therapeutic medical device, not an IVD.
