The document describes a laser treatment system and fiberoptic, focusing on its physical characteristics, intended use for tissue treatment, and performance studies related to temperature profiles and lesion size. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making components.
Yes
The device is intended for the photocoagulation, vaporization/ablation of soft tissue, cutting, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in surgical procedures, and specifically for the treatment of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which are therapeutic interventions.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Treatment System" intended to "photocoagulate, vaporize/ablate soft tissue," "cut, incise, and coagulate soft tissue," and for "coagulative necrosis and interstitial laser coagulation of soft tissues." These are all therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly mentions a "sterile, single-use, disposable fiberoptic" which is a physical hardware component designed to deliver energy from a laser. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical treatment system that uses laser energy to directly interact with and modify soft tissue within the body (photocoagulation, vaporization/ablation, cutting, excision, incision, coagulation). This is an in vivo procedure.
- Device Description: The device description details a fiberoptic designed to deliver laser energy for these surgical procedures.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, while this device is used to directly treat tissue within the body.

Device Description
The Índigo Diffuser- Tip™ Fiberoptic is a sterile, single-use, disposable fiberoptic which is 3 meters in length with a light-diffusing section at the distal tip. The device is designed to deliver energy from the Indigo Model 830e diode laser only and bears a unique connector for coupling to the 830e laser at the proximal end. Modifications have been made to increase the resistance to breakage of the fiberoptic and improve the manufacturability of the device. None of the changes affect the function, intended use, or overall design of the fiberoptic or of the Indigo LaserOpticTM Treatment System.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Testing was performed in order to compare the modified Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic with the existing fiberoptic for equivalence of the tissue temperature profiles and the resulting lesion size. The lesion size, temperature accuracy, internal heating of the fiber, time to reach operating temperature, fiber intensity profile, and total energy delivered were measured and compared. The results indicated that the modified Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic had an equivalent tissue temperature profile, and that the lesion size created by the modified fiberoptic is equivalent to the lesion size created by the current Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic. A reliability assessment was conducted to evaluate the robustness and resistance to breakage of the modified fiberoptic as compared to the current Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic. Results indicated a significant improvement.

Predicate Device: The modified Índigo Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic with Temperature Sensing Option is substantially equivalent to the current Indigo Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic with Temperature Sensing Option cleared by FDA on December 23, 1997 (K963969).
Device Description: The Índigo Diffuser- Tip™ Fiberoptic is a sterile, single-use, disposable fiberoptic which is 3 meters in length with a light-diffusing section at the distal tip. The device is designed to deliver energy from the Indigo Model 830e diode laser only and bears a unique connector for coupling to the 830e laser at the proximal end.

APPENDIX IX
Intended Use: The Indigo 830e LaserOptic ™ Treatment System is intended to be used in the contact mode to photocoagulate, vaporize/ablate soft tissue (muscle, connective tissue, organ), and in the contact or non-contact mode for cutting, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in both open or closed surgical procedures.
Indications
The Índigo 830e LaserOptic™ Treatment System with Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic is indicated for the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men over the age of 50 with prostates with median and/or lateral lobes ranging in total volume from 20-85 cc and for general surgery, general urological and gastroenterological procedures including the incision, excision, and ablation of soft tissues; and coagulative necrosis and interstitial laser coagulation of soft tissues.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics: The technical and functional characteristics of the modified Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic are essentially identical to the existing Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic. The modifications to the components incorporated in the design are refinements to the manufacturing process and to the design which do not represent technological changes. The laser source is the Model 830e diode laser in both cases and the output and resulting lesion size have not changed.
Nonclinical Tests: Testing was performed in order to compare the modified Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic with the existing fiberoptic for equivalence of the tissue temperature profiles and the resulting lesion size. The lesion size, temperature accuracy, internal heating of the fiber, time to reach operating temperature, fiber intensity profile, and total energy delivered were measured and compared. The results indicated that the modified Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic had an equivalent tissue temperature profile, and that the lesion size created by the modified fiberoptic is equivalent to the lesion size created by the current Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic. A reliability assessment was conducted to evaluate the robustness and resistance to breakage of the modified fiberoptic as compared to the current Diffuser-Tip™ Fiberoptic. Results indicated a significant improvement.
