No
The device description focuses on the physical properties of materials (water, copper, sapphire) and their thermal conductivity for cooling. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as providing a "surface cooling effect... to minimize thermal injury... and to possibly reduce pain associated with laser treatment," which are therapeutic benefits.
No
The description explicitly states its purpose is "To provide surface cooling effect during cutaneous laser surgery to minimize thermal injury... and to possibly reduce pain associated with laser treatment," which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a handpiece, a removable sealed reservoir of water, a cool tip made of copper and sapphire, and a storage rack. These are hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The CoolSpot™ device's intended use is to provide surface cooling during cutaneous laser surgery. It works by physically cooling the skin to minimize thermal injury and potentially reduce pain.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not collect, prepare, or analyze any specimens from the human body. It interacts directly with the skin surface.
- Mechanism of Action: Its mechanism of action is based on thermal properties (heat sink) and physical contact, not on the analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, the CoolSpot™ device falls under the category of a therapeutic or surgical accessory device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
To provide surface cooling effect during cutaneous laser surgery to minimize thermal injury to non-vascular skin structures during laser therapy of benign cutaneous vascular lesions, and to possibly reduce pain associated with laser treatment.

Device Description
The CoolSpot™ is essentially a "heat sink" which works by utilizing the latent heat of fusion properties of water and the thermal conductivity of copper and sapphire. The device design consists of a handpiece and a removable sealed reservoir of water that is frozen prior to use. The CoolSpot™ handpiece will house the cool tip and the laser delivery device during use. The cool tips will be stored in a freezer when not in use. A storage rack will be provided to hold up to 4 cool tips. The "active component", the cool tip, consists of a sealed tube filled with water that has a sapphire window affixed to its distal end. The tube is made of copper, which is gold plated and coated in plastic. The CoolSpot™ handpiece is designed so a laser delivery device is positioned such that the treatment beam passes through a sapphire window, which is cooled by virtue of its contact with the tubing and ice/water reservoir. The sapphire window will be in physical contact with the target treatment area during active use. The primary purpose of the window is to provide a heat sink in contact with the skin, which is at a lower temperature than the average skin surface temperature. The sapphire window will initially cool the skin and during laser activation, will absorb a portion of the heat generated by the selective absorption of the laser energy by the skin.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS. (PAGE 3)
INDICATION FOR USE STATEMENT:
To provide surface cooling effect during cutaneous laser surgery to minimize thermal injury to non-vascular skin structures during laser therapy of benign cutaneous vascular lesions, and to possibly reduce pain associated with laser treatment.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS:
Cosmetic/Dermatology/Plastic Surgery with the following FDA 510(k) marketing
COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICE:
The Laserscope CoolSpot™ is substantially equivalent to the Cool Laser Optics device and to Cold Packs. The operating principle of these devices is topical application of a low-temperature material to the surface of the skin in order to reduce its temperature. The intended use of the devices are substantially equivalent in that they are intended to reduce pain and minimize thermal injury to non-vascualr skin structures during laser therapy of benign cutaneous lesions.
The risks and benefits for the Laserscope CoolSpot™ is comparable to the predicate devices when used for similar clinical applications.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS, (PAGE 4)
Since the Laserscope CoolSpot™ is substantially equivalent with respect to indications for use, materials, and method of operation to the predicate devices, we believe it clearly meets the requirements for substantial equivalence according to Section 510(k) guidelines. Safety and effectiveness are reasonably assured, therefore justifying 510(k) clearance for commercial sale.
