No
The summary describes a laser device for tissue ablation and resurfacing, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

Yes
The device is used for medical procedures such as skin resurfacing, incision, excision, ablation, or vaporization of soft bodily tissues, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
Explanation: The device description states its use is for skin resurfacing, and for the incision, excision, ablation or vaporization of soft bodily tissues, which are all therapeutic or surgical procedures, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of hardware components: a power supply, water cooling system, and optical bench.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Cynosure CO3 Er: YAG Laser Function: The description clearly states that this device is a laser used for skin resurfacing, incision, excision, ablation, or vaporization of soft bodily tissues. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the body.

The intended use and device description confirm that this is a surgical laser used for therapeutic and cosmetic procedures, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

Dear Mr. Cho:

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.
