Device Description

The Thulium Fiber Laser System is a pulsed solid-state Thulium fiber laser system that delivers energy at a wavelength of 1940 nm through optical fibers for soft tissue surgery and stone fragmentation. The system utilizes a diode-pumped Thulium-doped fiber laser medium, and the laser energy is transmitted to the target site via standard optical fibers. The system is designed for surgical applications requiring precise tissue ablation, coagulation, and stone fragmentation.

The system includes an intuitive touchscreen interface, dual-pedal foot switch, integrated cooling system, and comprehensive safety features including emergency stop, door interlock, key switch, and real-time monitoring of laser parameters.

Dear Zhengzhou Li:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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 (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

Non-Clinical Performance Testing

Comprehensive performance testing was conducted including:

  • Stone Breakage testing
  • Tissue perforation testing
  • Output power accuracy testing
  • Pulse energy and duration verification
  • Wavelength stability testing
  • Safety interlock functionality testing

All testing demonstrated that the device performs as intended and meets all specified requirements.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

The Thulium Fiber Laser System has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate device (K210142). Both devices:

  • Utilize thulium laser technology at 1940 nm wavelength
  • Provide similar output parameters and operating modes

Page 11

  • Are intended for the same surgical applications
  • Incorporate equivalent safety features

Minor differences in user interface design, maximum power output ranges, or control features do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The comprehensive non-clinical performance testing supports that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device.

Based on the comparison of intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data, the Thulium Fiber Laser System is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device.
