The summary describes a mechanical coupler for a CO2 laser and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.
No
The device is described as a coupler for a CO2 Laser, allowing direct delivery of a focused beam. It does not perform a therapeutic function itself but rather acts as an accessory for a CO2 Laser, which would be the therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as a coupler for a CO2 laser, facilitating direct delivery of a focused beam during a procedure. There is no indication that it is used to identify or analyze a disease or condition.
No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical coupler for a CO2 laser, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as a coupler for a CO2 laser, used to deliver a focused beam during surgical procedures (likely laparoscopic). This is a therapeutic or surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description "CO2 Laser Coupler" further reinforces its role as a component of a surgical laser system.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.
- Using reagents or assays.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical or therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The coupler interfaces at the distal knuckle of the CO2 Laser and either the operating laparoscope or second puncture tubes allowing direct delivery of the focused beam.

Re: K983965 Trade Name: CO2 Laser Coupler Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GEX Dated: November 6, 1998 Received: November 6, 1998
Dear Mr. Przybyla:
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.

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).
