The provided 510(k) summary does not contain any mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology. The description focuses on the laser's intended use and predicate devices.

Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states the device is a "non-contact technical medical therapy unit" indicated for dermatological application of epilation, which is a therapeutic treatment.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "technical medical therapy unit" intended for dermatological epilation and other surgical/cosmetological applications, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly identifies it as a "Laser" system, which is a hardware-based medical device. The 510(k) summary does not mention any software-only components or functions that constitute the primary medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Dornier Medilas R Laser is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "non-contact technical medical therapy unit" for "dermatological application of epilation" and other surgical/cosmetic applications. This describes a device used on the patient's body for treatment, not a device used to test samples from the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays

The device is a therapeutic laser used for procedures performed directly on the patient.

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.
