Yes
The device is indicated for the removal of tattoos and benign epidermal pigmented lesions, which are medical treatments.

No
The device is indicated for removal of tattoos and benign epidermal pigmented lesions, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The provided 510(k) summary describes a laser device ("Schwartz Electro-Optics, Inc. CrystaLase 755") which is a hardware-based medical device used for tattoo and lesion removal. There is no indication of it being a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Schwartz Electro-Optics, Inc. CrystaLase 755 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the removal of tattoos and benign epidermal pigmented lesions. This is a therapeutic/cosmetic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVDs are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided description does not mention any such use or interaction with biological specimens.

Therefore, the device described is a laser used for dermatological procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
