The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.
Yes
The device is indicated for "Treatment of cutaneous vascular and pigmented lesions," which describes a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The Intended Use/Indications for Use section states the device is for "Photocoagulation of dermatological vascular lesions Treatment of cutaneous vascular and pigmented lesions," which describes a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description is not found, but the intended use clearly describes a "Laser System and accessories," which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the Alexis Alexandrite Laser System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being used for cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures involving photocoagulation and treatment of skin lesions. This is a therapeutic or surgical application, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "cutaneous," referring to the skin, which aligns with a therapeutic laser treatment rather than an in vitro diagnostic test.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. The Alexis Alexandrite Laser System's function is to treat lesions directly on the skin.

Dear Dr. Chou:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are 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 devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submissions 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

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your devices 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) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
