Not Found

No
The document describes a laser photocoagulator and its intended uses and accessories. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the device description, intended use, or any other section. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes.
The device is a laser photocoagulator used for various ophthalmic treatments, including retinal photocoagulation, photocoagulation for macular degeneration, and laser trabeculoplasty, all of which are medical procedures aimed at treating diseases or conditions.

No

This device is a laser photocoagulator intended for ophthalmic treatments such as retinal photocoagulation and laser trabeculoplasty, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states that the LP1532 is a "compact, solid state laser photocoagulator," which is a hardware device that produces laser energy. It also mentions various hardware delivery accessories.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples from the human body. The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this device is a laser photocoagulator used to directly treat the eye. It delivers energy into the eye for therapeutic purposes, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • The intended uses are therapeutic procedures. Retinal photocoagulation, pan retinal photocoagulation, photocoagulation for macular degeneration, laser trabeculoplasty, and endophotocoagulation are all medical treatments performed directly on the patient's eye.
  • The device description focuses on the laser technology and delivery systems. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that would involve sample handling and analysis components.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

The intended uses for this product are;

  • Retinal Photocoagulation .
  • Pan Retinal Photocoagulation .
  • Endophotocoagulation.
  • Photocoagulation for Macular Degeneration .
  • . Laser Trabeculoplasty

A General Description of these Treatments are;
The intended uses for this product are:
Retinal treatments, including;

  • . Retinal Photocoagulation
  • Pan Retinal Photocoagulation .
  • Endophotocoagulation .

These treatments involve the destruction of neovascular complexes, to obliterate areas of microinfarction or capillary closure.

Retinal Photocoagulation will be carried out using principally the Slitlamp Delivery System accessory.

Pan Retinal Photocoagulation will be carried out using either of the Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope or the Slitlamp Delivery System accessory.

Endophotocoagulation will be carried out using any one of the three variants of the endoprobe accessories, namely Straight, Curved or Aspirating Endooccular Probes.

Photocoagulation for Macular Degeneration involves the destruction of leaking vessels in the macular and paramacular region, and ultimately to produce a chorioretinal adhesion that will resist ongoing vitreoretinal traction. This treatment will be carried out using the slitlamp microscope mounted Slitlamp Delivery System accessory.

Laser Trabeculoplasty, the photocoagulation of the trabecular meshwork to create apertures and increase the flow of the aqueous humor in order to treat open-angle glaucoma. This treatment will be carried out using the slitlamp microscope mounted Slitlamp Delivery System accessory.

Dear Mr. Degenhardt:

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 requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, 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 In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. 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.

Page 2 - Mr. Keith R. Degenhardt

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510 (k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device 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 device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the requlation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
