Intended Use
The Fotona Dualis KTP (532 nm) Laser System and Accessories is intended for incision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis of vascular lesions and soft tissue in various surgical areas. All soft tissue is included, such as skin, cutaneous tissue, subcutaneous tissue, striated and smooth tissue, muscle, cartilage meniscus, mucous membrane, lymph vessels and nodes, organs, and glands. Dermatology : The treatment (hemostasis, color lightening, blanching, flattening, reduction of lesion size) of the vascular lesions (Angiomas, Hemangiomas, Telangiectasia)
Device Description
The Fotona Dualis KTP (532 nm) system is based on Nd:YAG laser technology. Within the system, an optical cavity contains the Nd: YAG crystal, which is activated by means of the use of flashlamps. After the cavity, a red diode aiming beam is reflected onto a coaxial beam path using a beamsplitter assembly. The combined therapuetic and aiming beams are guided down an optical fiber delivery system to a focusing handpiece. The laser is used in non-contact mode. The Dualis KTP system is designed with 3 major sub-systems: a) An optical delivery system, interfacing the energy from the laser to the patient via an optical fiber arm and a focusing handpiece. b) An electronic power supply and interface circuitry. c) An optical chamber containing laser rod and laser cavity optics.

No
The device description focuses on the laser technology and optical delivery system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets for training/testing.

Yes
The device is used for the "treatment" of vascular lesions, which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is described as a laser system intended for surgical procedures such as incision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis of soft tissue and vascular lesions, not for diagnosing conditions. Its description focuses on delivering therapeutic energy.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including an optical cavity, Nd:YAG crystal, flashlamps, beamsplitter assembly, optical fiber delivery system, focusing handpiece, electronic power supply, interface circuitry, and an optical chamber. This is a hardware-based laser system, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body.
  • Device Function: The Fotona Dualis KTP Laser System is a surgical laser intended for direct interaction with tissues within or on the body for procedures like incision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis. It is used in a non-contact mode, but it is still directly treating the patient's tissues.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures on various tissues and the treatment of vascular lesions, all of which are performed directly on the patient.

The description of the device and its intended use aligns with a surgical laser, not a device used for testing samples in a laboratory setting.

II. Description

The Fotona Dualis KTP (532 nm) system is based on Nd:YAG laser technology. Within the system, an optical cavity contains the Nd: YAG crystal, which is activated by means of the use of flashlamps. After the cavity, a red diode aiming beam is reflected onto a coaxial beam path using a beamsplitter assembly. The combined therapuetic and aiming beams are guided down an optical fiber delivery system to a focusing handpiece. The laser is used in non-contact mode.

The Dualis KTP system is designed with 3 major sub-systems:

a) An optical delivery system, interfacing the energy from the laser to the patient via an optical fiber arm and a focusing handpiece.

b) An electronic power supply and interface circuitry.

c) An optical chamber containing laser rod and laser cavity optics.

II. Intended Use

The Fotona Dualis KTP (532 nm) laser system is indicated for incision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis of vascular lesions and soft tissue in various surgical areas. All soft tissue is included, such as skin, cutaneous tissue, subcutaneous tissue, striated and smooth tissue, muscle, cartilage meniscus, mucous membrane, lymph vessels and nodes, organs, and glands.

III. Summary of Substantial Equivalence

Fotona believes that its Dualis KTP (532 nm) system is substantially equivalent to the Coherent VersaPulse laser system, Laserscope Lyra laser system, and to other KTP (532 nm) lasers previously cleared for similar clinical applications.

All lasers are cleared for surgical incision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation, and hemostasis of vascular lesions and soft tissue in various surgical areas. All soft tissue is included, such as, skin, cutaneous tissue, subcutaneous tissue, striated and smooth tissue, muscle, cartilage meniscus, mucous membrane, lymph vessels and nodes, organs, and glands.

Technologically, the predicate devices have identical characteristics to the Dualis KTP (532 nm) laser, all three comprising an electronic control module and a flashlamp pumped Nd: YAG laser rod generating light at a wavelength of 532 um, which is subsequently delivered to the patient via an optical fiber and a focusing handpiece.

The Dualis KTP (532 nm) laser output characteristics are very similar to those of the predicate devices.

All lasers are microprocessor controlled devices.

All lasers utilize class I aiming beams which pose no hazard to the user.

All systems utilize an internal closed loop water-air heat exchanger circuit for optimal thermal control of the laser cavity.

The risk and benefits for the Fotona Dualis KTP (532 nm) are comparable to the predicate devices when used for similar clinical applications.

It is therefore believed that there are no new questions of Safety or Effectiveness raised by the introduction of this device.
