More Information

No
The document describes a dental laser system and its intended uses, but there is no mention of AI or ML technology in the device description, intended use, or any other section.

Yes
The device is described as assisting a dentist or oral surgeon with "soft tissue surgery" and lists specific surgical procedures such as gingivoplasties and lesion removal, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is described as a dental laser system intended for surgical procedures such as incision, ablation, vaporization, and hemostasis of soft tissue, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "dental laser system" that "utilizes laser radiation energy," indicating it is a hardware device that produces a physical output (laser energy) for surgical procedures.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a "dental laser system" used for "oral/dental procedures for the incision, ablation, vaporization and hemostasis of soft tissue." It performs surgical procedures directly on the patient's tissue.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing samples taken from the body. Its function is to apply laser energy to tissue.

Therefore, the FutureLase zooo/goo2 Erbium Laser System is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

Pharos Optics, Inc. offers a dental laser system known as the FutureLase 3000/3002 Erbium Laser System. The device utilizes laser radiation energy produced at a frequency of 2.94μ. This laser system is intended for intraoral or dental soft tissue surgery including the marginal and interdental gingiva. The FutureLase 3000/3002 Erbium Laser System is used to assist the dentist or oral surgeon with the following general intended use and/or specific indications for use:
Laser Head. The laser is a pulsed solid-state erbium YAG laser. Application of a current pulse to the flash lamp produces an intense pulse of light from the laser head. The light produced by the erbium atoms being returned to their ground state provides a laser beam which is highly coherent.
The laser output produced is at a wavelength of 2.94μ which is in the infrared portion of the spectrum and is not visible.
A beam attenuator or shutter in the laser head blocks all laser emission for safety when laser output is not desired. The shutter has position sensors to confirm whether it is open or closed.
Power Supply. The current pulse needed to produce lasing is generated by a discharge capacitor, an inductor, and a switch. The capacitor is charged by the charging power supply. The capacitor is discharged through the inductor and flash lamp. The inductor helps to shape the pulse to give the desired laser pulse width.
Cooling System. Most of the energy produced by the laser flash lamp is converted into waste heat. In order to remove the heat, water is circulated through it. The cooling system contains a pump for water circulation, a reservoir for the coolant, and an air-to-water heat exchanger to remove the heat. Also included is a flow switch to assure the integrity of the laser if there is a failure in the cooling system.
Control System. All of the laser functions are under the control of a microprocessor. The controller sets the energy level, the repetition rate of the laser, calibrates the output pulses to assure correct energy, monitors the interlock sensors and checks for proper operation of the switches, power supply, shutter and control panel. The system self checks at start-up each time the laser system is turned on.
Control Panel. The laser control panel allows the user output pulse energy and repetition rate. Values are read out on the panel. A button must be pushed which enables the foot switch control to fire the laser. A Standby button deactivates the foot switch and leaves the system in standby mode.
Beam Delivery. The output of the laser is delivered via fiber-optic cable. The laser hand piece has a non-contact tip. This tip does not make contact with the tissue to be treated. The diameters currently offered range from 600 microns to 1.0 millimeters. A sensor determines the presence of the cable so that the laser cannot be fired if the fiber is not in place. A laser calibration port is also present on the housing.

Cleaning/Sterilization/Re-sterilization: 8.

The laser handpiece tips may be sterilized and/or re-sterilized up to ten times. After cleaning and inspection, standard autoclave flash processing at 270 degrees for 15 minutes will produce a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10°. Several tips may be sterilized at once, however, the tips should not be sterilized as part of larger heavily wrapped autoclave loads. The handpiece housing and transmission fiber may be cleaned, washed and surface disinfected only. Hospital grade soap/detergent & water followed by surface disinfection may be employed using commercially available liquid germicidal agents such as gluteraldehyde or quaternary amonium based agents. The device is reusable for a limited period of time.
