The summary describes a laser device for soft tissue surgery and dentistry, focusing on its technical specifications (wavelength, energy output) and intended uses. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms that would suggest the use of AI/ML technology. The performance studies section also indicates equivalence to predicate devices based on design and intended use, without mentioning any AI/ML-specific performance metrics or studies.
Yes
The device is used for surgical procedures like incision, cutting, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue in oral and maxillofacial surgery and dentistry, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
The device description indicates its use for "incision, cutting, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue," which are treatment-oriented functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an Er: Y AG laser, which is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the KaVo KEY Laser 1242 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. The intended use of the KaVo KEY Laser 1242 is for the incision, cutting, ablation, and vaporization of soft tissue in situ (within the body) during oral and maxillofacial surgery and dentistry. It directly interacts with the patient's tissue, rather than analyzing a sample taken from the patient.
- The description focuses on surgical procedures. The listed indications for use are all surgical or therapeutic procedures performed directly on the patient's soft tissue.
- There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The device description and intended use do not involve the analysis of blood, urine, tissue samples, or any other biological material.
Therefore, the KaVo KEY Laser 1242 is a surgical laser device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A

Summary of Performance Studies
The specifications and intended uses of the KaVo KEY Laser 1242 are the same or very similar to those of the claimed predicate devices. There are no significant differences between the KaVo KEY Laser 1242 and the claimed predicates in design or under conditions of intended use. The notification included an extensive bibliography and discussions of specific articles in support of the claim for equivalence. Because of this, performance data were not required.

Dear Mr. Cochrane:
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.
