None

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology.

Yes
The device is used for the "treatment of ablation, vaporization or coagulation of soft tissue," which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is described as manipulating and placing a pulsed beam of light for treatment (ablation, vaporization, or coagulation) of soft tissue, indicating a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The intended use describes a device that manipulates and places a pulsed beam of light, which inherently requires hardware components (laser, scanner mechanism). The summary does not mention any software-only functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "treatment of ablation, vaporization or coagulation of soft tissue" using a pulsed beam of light. This describes a therapeutic or surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The description clearly indicates a device used for direct treatment of tissue within the body, not for analyzing samples outside the body.

Dear Ms. Enemaerke:

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.
