The summary describes a laser device for ophthalmology and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
Yes.
Explanation: The device is described as a laser intended for various tissue modifications (cutting, incision, excision, vaporization, and ablation) in ophthalmology, with specific applications like anterior capsulotomy and use during cataract surgery, which are therapeutic procedures.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a laser intended for cutting, incision, excision, vaporization, and ablation of soft tissue, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a laser, which is a hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "cutting, incision, excision, vaporization, and ablation of soft tissue in ophthalmology." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a laser that emits light for tissue interaction. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a device used to examine samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is to physically alter tissue during surgery.
