More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a pulsed light system for treating vascular lesions and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

Yes.
The device is indicated for the "treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions" and uses "optical energy for photocoagulation of vascular lesions," which are therapeutic actions.

No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the PhotoLight System is indicated for the "treatment" of benign cutaneous vascular lesions through photocoagulation, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "pulsed light system" utilizing "optical energy," indicating a hardware component for light emission, 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 is for the "treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesions." This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one. IVDs are used to diagnose diseases or conditions.
  • Device Description: The device description states it utilizes "optical energy for photocoagulation of vascular lesions." This describes a treatment mechanism, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue), performing tests on those samples, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the PhotoLight System is a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
