No
The provided text describes a laser system for surgical procedures and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is indicated for various surgical procedures such as incision/excision, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue and cartilage for different medical specialties, which are therapeutic actions.

No
The Dentica Pulsed Nd: YAG Laser System is indicated for surgical procedures like incision/excision, ablation, and coagulation, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Pulsed Nd: YAG Laser System," which is a hardware device used for surgical procedures. The intended use also describes surgical applications involving physical interaction with tissue.

Based on the provided information, the Dentica Pulsed Nd: YAG Laser System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Dentica Laser System's Intended Use: The Dentica Laser System is used for surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's body (in vivo). Its purpose is to incise, excise, ablate, and coagulate soft tissue and cartilage.

The description clearly indicates a surgical device used for treatment and manipulation of tissues within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.

Dear Dr. Chou:

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 Good Manufacturing Practive for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP 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.
