The typical life time of the laser . tube is more than 10,000 hours of operation. It is mechanically robust and electrically very safe does not contain any higher voltage . than 32 volts. It is easy to transport. The 315 M can be hand-carried without difficulty. The articulated . arm can be partially folded into the laser. It has a backup battery. The laser output is independent of any line voltage fluctuations or . even total voltage loss for hours. It can be connected via micromanipulators to microscopes and colposcopes. Special accessories can be employed, e.g. for angular cutting.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical and technical specifications of a CO2 laser system for surgical procedures. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML technologies.

Yes
The device is indicated for use in surgical procedures to vaporize, incise, excise, ablate, or photocoagulate soft tissue, which are all therapeutic actions.

No

The device is indicated for use as a surgical instrument to vaporize, incise, excise, ablate or photocoagulate soft tissue, which describes a treatment function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines numerous hardware components including weight, dimensions, laser sources, beam delivery arm, battery, cooling system, and electrical requirements. This is a physical laser system, 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 clearly states the device is a "surgical instrument to vaporize, incise, excise, ablate or photocoagulate soft tissue in general surgical procedures." This describes a device used on the patient's body during surgery, not a device used to test samples from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system with an articulated arm for delivering a laser beam. This is consistent with a surgical tool, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to directly interact with tissue during surgery.

§ 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.
