The device description focuses on the laser technology and its parameters, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".
Yes
The device description and intended use/indications for use specify that the laser system is used for "RETINAL AND MACULAR PHOTOCOAGULATION" and "TRABECULOPLASTY," which are medical procedures performed to treat conditions.
No
The device description and intended use indicate that the Nuvolase 532 Laser System is used for photocoagulation and trabeculoplasty, which are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly details a laser system with hardware components (Nd:YAG laser, diode laser, fiber optic, laser slit lamp) and specifies power output and wavelength, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Ophthalmology is a laser system used for photocoagulation and trabeculoplasty. These are procedures performed directly on the patient's eye (in vivo) using a laser beam.
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed (retinal and macular photocoagulation, trabeculoplasty) are surgical or therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic tests performed on samples outside the body.
The device operates by delivering a laser beam to the eye for treatment, which is fundamentally different from the function of an IVD.

Device Description
The Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Ophthalmology is a continuous-wave frequency-doubled diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser system. Treatement beam power output for the system is 50 milliwatts to 1.5 watts at a wavelength of 532 nm. Depending on the delivery device efficiency, the maximum power level may be as much as 2.0 Watts CW. The aiming beam is provided by a red diode laser operating at 670 nm. Exposure durations for the Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Ophthalmology (in seconds) are 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and continuous. Delivery of the beam occurs via fiber optic and laser slit lamp.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
Regulatory Authority:
Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, 21 CFR 807.92
Company Name/Contact:
Daniel Hoefer American Laser Medical, Inc. 1832 South 3850 West Salt Lake City, UT 84104 (801) 972 1311, FAX (801) 972 5251
Name of Device:
Trade Name: Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Opthalmology
Common Name: Ophthalmic Laser Photocoagulator
Classification Name: Ophthalmic Laser (per 21 CFR 886.4930)
Predicate Devices:
The Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Opthalmology has been modified from the American Laser Medical, Inc. Nuvolase 660 Laser System for Ophthalmology, K972561.
Description of Device:
The Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Ophthalmology is a continuous-wave frequency-doubled diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser system. Treatement beam power output for the system is 50 milliwatts to 1.5 watts at a wavelength of 532 nm. Depending on the delivery device efficiency, the maximum power level may be as much as 2.0 Watts CW. The aiming beam is provided by a red diode laser operating at 670 nm. Exposure durations for the Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Ophthalmology (in seconds) are 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and continuous. Delivery of the beam occurs via fiber optic and laser slit lamp.

Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Opthalmology American Laser Medical, Inc. March 4, 1999
Intended Use:
The Nuvolase 532 Laser System for Ophthalmology is intended for use in retinal and macular photocoagulation and trabeculoplasty.
Technological Characteristics/Device Comparison:
The Nuvolase 532 Laser Sysem is a modification of the Nuvolase 660 Laser System for Ophthalmology, already in legal commercial distribution. Each of the systems optically pumps an Nd: Y AG crystal using 808 nm diodes to produce laser light at 1064 nm. This light passes through a second crystal which exhibits a non-linear optical response, re-emitting the laser energy at the first harmonic of the 1064 line, 532 nm greeen. The continuous wave beam is then shuttered electro-mechanically to produce the desired exposure durations. Each device is intended for retinal and macular photocoagulation and trabeculoplasty. The delivery system is the same in each case.
Conclusion:
The device modification does not affect the indications for use, materials, method of manufacture, or technology of the legally marketed device.

Dear Mr. Hoefer:
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.
