More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser system for tattoo and lesion removal and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is indicated for removal of tattoos and lesions, which are medical treatments, classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

The device is marketed for removal of tattoos and lesions, which are treatment indications, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "laser system" capable of emitting a pulsed treatment laser beam, indicating it is a hardware 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 removal of tattoos and various lesions. This is a therapeutic application, directly treating the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system that emits a pulsed laser beam. This is a physical treatment modality, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to physically alter tissue for therapeutic purposes.
