## Definition

An optical diagnostic device for melanoma detection is a prescription device that measures and analyzes optical properties of a skin lesion. The device is intended for use by a physician trained in the clinical diagnosis and management of skin cancer as an adjunctive device following identification of a suspicious skin lesion. The output given by the device is intended to be used in combination with clinical and historical signs of skin cancer to obtain additional information prior to a decision to biopsy. It is not for use as a standalone diagnostic and is not for use to confirm a clinical diagnosis.
