Device Description
The Ceralas D Laser System that is the subject of this 510(k) notice is identical to the Ceralas D Laser System, which has already been cleared by FDA. The cleared Ceralas D Laser System is a complete self-contained compact surgical laser that utilizes gallium aluminum arsenide (GaALAs) semiconductor diodes to generate near-infrared laser radiation. The laser employs a modular design comprised of: (1) a laser diode: (2) a cooling module containing the laser diode, thermoelectric coolers, heat sink fins and fans; (3) an optics module containing a beamsplitter for control of optical power; (4) front control and display panel; and (5) RFIshielded, transformer power supply and control electronics. Interchangeable fiber optic delivery systems are coupled to the laser via an SMA 905 connector to deliver laser radiation to the target tissues. The diode laser is enclosed in a rugged, factory aligned, environmentally protective module. The wavelength for the Ceralas D Laser System is 980 ± 30nm, and its laser aiming beam wavelength is 635mm+10mm. The delivery systems for the Ceralas D Laser System consist of optical fiber fitted with an SMA 905 connector at the proximal end. The optical fiber is composed of quartz fiber core with a coaxially mounted protective sheath.

No
The device description focuses on laser technology and hardware components. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.

Yes

The device is intended for "light activation of bleaching materials for teeth whitening," which is a treatment or therapy for a condition (discolored teeth).

No

The device is intended for light activation of bleaching materials for teeth whitening, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines a hardware-based laser system with various physical components (laser diode, cooling module, optics module, power supply, fiber optic delivery systems). It is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "light activation of bleaching materials for teeth whitening." This is a therapeutic or cosmetic procedure performed directly on the patient's teeth.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system designed to deliver light energy to the teeth. It describes the physical components and how it generates and delivers laser radiation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.

The device is a medical device, specifically a laser system used in dentistry, but it falls under the category of devices used for treatment or procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Dr. Morello:

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 enclosures) 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.
