No
The document describes a laser system for surgical applications and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device is indicated for use in surgical applications requiring the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and photothermolysis of soft tissue, as well as the treatment of various cutaneous and pigmented lesions and tattoos. These applications directly involve treating or affecting human body structure or function for a medical purpose.
No
The device is an aesthetic surgical laser indicated for use in surgical applications such as ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and photothermolysis of soft tissue. It is a therapeutic device that delivers laser energy, not a device used to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a laser console and tower, articulated arm, fiber port, control and display panels, footswitch, handswitch, remote control unit, and various delivery device accessories.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for surgical applications requiring the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and photothermolysis of soft tissue. These are all procedures performed directly on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a laser system designed to deliver energy to soft tissue for surgical purposes.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVDs are devices used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens. This device is used in vivo (on the body) for surgical treatment.

Dear Ms. Worden:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are 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 devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices 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 devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submissions 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.

Page 2 - Ms. Anne C. Worden
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
