No
The summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.

Yes
The device is intended for "incision, ablation, vaporization, and hemostasis of soft tissue," which are all therapeutic actions.

No
The device is described as a laser system for incision, ablation, vaporization, and hemostasis of soft tissue, indicating it is an interventional or therapeutic device rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as a "Laser System," which inherently implies hardware components (the laser itself, power supply, controls, etc.) in addition to any potential software. The description of its intended use (incision, ablation, vaporization, hemostasis) further confirms it is a physical device interacting with tissue.

Based on the provided information, the Derma™ K Laser System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "incision, ablation, vaporization, and hemostasis of soft tissue." This describes a surgical or therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.

The Derma™ K Laser System is a device used for direct treatment of tissue, not for analyzing samples outside the body.

(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.

Re: K982827 Trade Name: Modified Derma™ Laser System Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GEX Dated: August 8, 1998 Received: August 11, 1998

Dear Mr. Hattub:

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 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 requirement, 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device 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) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, 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).
