532 nm wavelength in Q-switched mode (nominal delivered energy of 585 nm and 650 nm with the optional 585 nm and 650 nm dye converter handpieces):
- Red, tan, purple and orange tattoo ink removal
- Sky blue (light) tattoo ink removal
- Green tattoo ink removal
- Treatment of benign pigmented lesions including, but not limited to: cafe-au-lait birthmarks, solar lentigines, senile lentigines, senile lentigines, Becker's nevi, freckles, common nevi, nevus spilus
- Treatment of benign vascular lesion including, but not limited to: port wine birthmarks, telangiectasias, spider angioma, cherry angioma, spider nevi

The system consists of a power supply, laser resonator, touch LCD monitor, articulated arm, handpieces, foot switch, and laser protective eyewear. The system includes several safety features, including use of key switch, an interlock, emergency stop button, and need to press a footswitch in order to activate the laser. The main body transmits the laser energy through the articulating arm to the handpiece which is positioned above or in contact with the treatment area. Five different handpieces can be attached to the articulated arm, the Zoom handpiece, Collimated handpiece, MLA handpiece, 585 Dye handpiece, and the 650 Dye handpiece. In addition, the system can operate in different modes, including single pulse, PTP, 3-pulse, 6-pulse, and genesis modes. Each handpiece integrates and aiming beam that shows the treatment area.
The Nd:YAG laser surgical system utilizes a solid-state laser medium of Nd:YAG at 1064 nm and KTP at 532 nm. The 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths interact with targeted skin cells or tissues, primarily leveraging the Photothermolysis Effect in Q-switched nanosecond pulse modes. This selective photothermolysis mechanism enables controlled thermal absorption within target chromophores, leading to coagulation, denaturation, or vaporization of melanin-containing cells while preserving surrounding tissues. The laser energy is effectively absorbed by pigmented lesions, allowing for precise and efficient treatment in dermatological applications.
The system also supports Dye handpieces, which enable the use of 585 nm and 650 nm wavelengths by converting 532 nm light. These wavelengths have greater absorption for different specific pigment-related lesions, expanding the system's versatility in medical and aesthetic procedures.

7. Substantial Equivalence
The subject device has a subset of the indications cleared for K202172, and all devices share the same intended use of laser use in dermatological surgical and aesthetic applications. The subject device has identical indications to predicate #1, in that it is a subset of the predicate device (it does not have the indications related to use in PICO mode). Predicate #2 has equivalent indications, although they do not match verbatim. In sum, the subject device has the same intended use as either of the predicates.
The technological characteristics between the subject and the predicate devices are similar. All devices have two primary wavelengths, 1064 and 532 nm. All devices have dye handpieces that can modify the 532 nm output to 585 or 650 nm (595 and 660 nm in K241527). All devices can be operated in various modes, including single pulse (termed Q-switched in K202172) and genesis (termed long pulsed in K202172). The subject device also contains additional modes that are equivalent to other modes available only in K241527, including PTP and multi-pulse modes. While the subject device has 3 and 6 multi-pulse mode options, K241527 has 2 and 3 multi-pulse options. The addition of a 6-pulse option does not raise different questions as the pulse energy remains within the cleared energy of Genesis mode. The predicates also have modes that are not part of the subject device – specifically, K202172 has PICO mode which uses pulse widths shorter than the subject device, and K241527 has DOE mode which treats a large, square area. The fact that the subject device does not include these modes does not raise any questions. Finally, the handpieces available in the subject device match those provided in K241527 and include Zoom, Collimation, MLA, and Dye, although the predicate also includes DOE handpiece.
