Device Description
The New Star Model 1000 is a compact, portable, self-contained system that produces a beam of infrared radiation at 2,100 nm wavelength for treatment, and a visible Helium Neon (HeNe) laser beam at 632.8 nm for aiming. The system emits a pulsed laser beam, which is delivered to the treatment site using a fiber-optic delivery system. The system consists of a laser console, unit fiber-optic delivery system, and a footswitch The system provides safety features that are designed to protect the user and patient from high voltages and laser emissions.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a laser system for surgical procedures and lithotripsy. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML functionality. The description focuses on the physical characteristics and operation of the laser.

Yes
The device is indicated for various medical procedures such as incision, excision, ablation, and hemostasis across multiple surgical specialties, which are all therapeutic interventions designed to treat medical conditions.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section describes various surgical procedures like incision, excision, ablation, and coagulation. These are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. A diagnostic device would be used to identify a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "compact, portable, self-contained system that produces a beam of infrared radiation" and includes a "laser console, unit fiber-optic delivery system, and a footswitch," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly indicate that the New Star Lasers, Inc. Model 100 Holmium Laser System is a surgical laser used for direct treatment of tissues within the body (incision, excision, ablation, etc.) across various anatomical sites. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.

The device's function is to interact directly with the patient's body for surgical procedures, which is the opposite of how an IVD operates.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed
