Intended Use
The Cynosure PhotoGenica SPIR laser is indicated for coagulation of dermatological vascular lesions.
Device Description
The PhotoGenica SPIR is a solid state laser, having the alexandrite crystal as the lasing medium. It is a pulsed laser with an invisible wavelength of 755nm and a non-contact handpiece. Laser activation is both by finger switch and footswitch. Overall weight of the laser is 285lbs, and the size is 44"x 19"x24" (HxWxD). Electrical requirement is 220 VAC, 30A, 50-60 Hz, single phase.

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and basic functionality of a laser device, with no mention of AI or ML terms, image processing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
The device is indicated for "coagulation of dermatological vascular lesions," which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device description and intended use indicate it is an aesthetic laser used for coagulation of dermatological vascular lesions, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it providing information or analysis for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a solid state laser with physical components (alexandrite crystal, handpiece, footswitch, significant weight and dimensions) and electrical requirements, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Cynosure PhotoGenica SPIR laser is a therapeutic device that uses laser energy to treat dermatological vascular lesions. It directly interacts with the patient's tissue.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The provided information does not mention any analysis of biological samples. The device's function is based on delivering laser energy to the skin.

Therefore, based on the intended use and device description, the Cynosure PhotoGenica SPIR laser falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Cho:

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.
