The way I understand it.....

It is only FDA approved if the FDA approves it.
The only one that would know is the FDA and
DD with the proof of a valid accession number
from the FDA...

Getting a Radiation Emitting Product to Market

Not sure if that is knowledgeable enough...:undecided:

From what I understand, even the Arctic, which has a "smart switch" is not FDA approved....:thinking:

I thought the smart switch was required only for class IV lasers or is it for IIIb as well?

No portable class IV laser is FDA approved, period. Furthermore, portables and pointers will soon if not already fall under 21 CFR 1040.11(b) surveying, leveling, and alignment laser products with maximum of class IIIa output per information I received from the CDRH.

Thanks for the info. Nice to hear it from someone who works in the industry and isn't just speculating out their rear orifice like I was.
