No
The summary describes a laser device for soft tissue procedures and contains no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for incising, excising, and coagulating intraoral soft tissue, which constitutes a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device's intended use is for surgical procedures (incising, excising, coagulating) and debridement, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. It does not mention identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The intended use describes a device that performs physical actions (incising, excising, coagulating) on tissue, which strongly suggests a hardware component (likely a laser or similar energy source) is involved, not just software.

Based on the provided information, the SunLase 800P is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • The SunLase 800P's intended use is for directly incising, excising, and coagulating intraoral soft tissue within the body. This is a surgical or therapeutic procedure performed on the patient, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The description clearly indicates a device used for direct treatment of tissue within the mouth, which falls under the category of a surgical or therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Louisell:

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 Ouality 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.
