Intended Use
Ablation of skin tissue to establish capillary blood access. The Cell Robotics Laser Skin Perforator is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals for collecting capillary blood samples from adult patients, for subsequent determination of blood glucose concentration and hematocrit.
Device Description
The Cell Robotics Laser skin perforator is a portable battery operated laser device. The device produces a single pulse of laser light which ablates a small hole in the patient's fingertip comparable to that produced by commonly used stainless steel blood lancets.

No
The summary describes a laser device for skin perforation and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is used to ablate skin tissue for blood sample collection, which is a diagnostic/testing purpose, not for treating a disease or condition. While it causes a physical change (ablation), the primary goal is not therapeutic.

No
Explanation: This device is used to collect blood samples for subsequent determination of blood glucose concentration and hematocrit, but it does not perform the diagnostic analysis itself. It is a sample collection device, not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable battery operated laser device," indicating it is a hardware device that uses laser technology for skin ablation.

Based on the provided information, the Cell Robotics Laser Skin Perforator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: IVDs are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This includes tests for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device function: The Cell Robotics Laser Skin Perforator's function is to collect the blood sample by creating a perforation in the skin. It does not perform any analysis or testing on the blood itself.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "Ablation of skin tissue to establish capillary blood access" and "for collecting capillary blood samples... for subsequent determination of blood glucose concentration and hematocrit." The "subsequent determination" is done by a separate device or method, not the laser perforator.

The device is a tool for sample collection, which is a step that precedes the in vitro diagnostic testing, but it is not the IVD itself.

Dear Dr. Lohrding:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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 device, 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 device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device 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 (QS) 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. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission 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 Federal laws or regulations.
