More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a laser system for soft tissue procedures and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

Yes.
The device is a surgical laser system intended for medical and surgical procedures across various specialties, which are therapeutic applications.

No.
The document describes the device's intended use for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in surgical procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe a laser system, which is a hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the Dornier Medilas H/2 Laser is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical laser system used for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue within the body, either endoscopically or in open surgery. This is a therapeutic and surgical application, not an in vitro diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "Soft tissue," which refers to tissues within the living body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on sample analysis.

Therefore, the Dornier Medilas H/2 Laser is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

From a clinical perspective and comparing design specifications, the Dornier Medilas H/2 Laser and the predicate devices are substantially equivalent and have the same intended use. The minor difference between the two laser systems is the replacement of a contraindication with a precaution statement regarding its use in fragmentation of kidney and bladder stones. Based on the technological characteristics and overall performance of the devices, Dornier Surgical Products, Inc. believes that no significant differences exist between the Dornier Medilas H/2 and the predicate devices: the Dornier Medilas H (K983963).

Dornier Surgical Products, Inc believes the minor differences of the Dornier Medilas H/2 and its predicate laser devices should not raise any concerns regarding the overall safety or effectiveness.
