More Information

No
The provided text describes a laser handpiece accessory and its intended uses, but it contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven algorithms typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

Yes
The device is described as being used in "general and surgical procedures for incision / excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue and cartilage," which are direct therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described for surgical procedures like incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.

No

The device is described as a "handpiece" and an "accessory" for a laser system, indicating it is a physical component and not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device's intended use: The Dornier Scanner handpiece is described as being used for surgical procedures like incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue and cartilage, as well as skin resurfacing. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of mention of samples or testing: The description focuses on the device's function in interacting with tissue and skin, not on analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Dornier Scanner handpiece falls under the category of a surgical device used for treatment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device used for testing.
