Intended Use
The Clarus Straight Firing Laser Fiber and the Clarus Side Firing Lasers Fiber are for use in general, urological, OB-GYN, orthopedic, and ENT laser surgical procedures for cutting, vaporizing, or coagulating in any soft tissue application for which Ho:YAG lasers have been cleared.
Device Description
This 510(k) submission is a modification of the existing Clarus Model 1150 Lascr Fiber previously filed as K922881 and found to be substantially equivalent by the FDA on November 16, 1992. The original 510(k) device was a single-use, straight firing laser fiber with a fiber indicated for laser disc decompression where the laser is used to remove inner disc material. The laser fiber core ranges from 380 -- 600 microns. The modifications represented by this submission are the addition of a reusable fiber, a side firing version (Model 1160), increased indications for any soft tissue application for which Ho:YAG lasers have been cleared, and an increased laser fiber core size range from 200 – 1000 microns. The Model 1150 Clarus Straight Firing Fiber is identical in materials, methods of manufacture, sterilization, and dimensions to the currently marketed Clarus Model 1150 Laser Fiber (K922881) with the following exceptions. These exceptions are: making the fiber assembly reusable, increasing the range of the laser fiber core size from 380 - 600 microns to 200 - 1000 microns, and the indications for use. The distal end is polished flat and the laser energy is transmitted in a forward direction. The low OH fiber is terminated on the proximal end with a standard compatible laser connector. These devices consist of an optical fiber, which may be contained in a catheter tube, cannula. needle, handpiece or handle. The Model 1160 Clarus Side Firing Laser Fiber is built identical to the Model 1150 Clarus Straight Firing Fiber listed above with the following exceptions. The exceptions being that the entire working length of the fiber is in a protective sheath and the distal end is polished at an angle, and then terminated in a quartz. cap. The distal tip includes an exit beam indicator that is easily visible to the operator when the fiber is placed through an endoscope. On the proximal end, the low OH fiber is terminated with a standard compatible laser connector. The Clarus Model 1150 Straight Firing and the Clarus Model 1160 Side Firing Laser Fibers are supplied sterile (ETO) and are intended for reuse. The Clarus Straight Firing and the Clarus Side Firing Laser Fibers may be used both intraoperatively and percutaneously through regulatory cleared delivery systems.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of laser fibers for surgical procedures, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is used for cutting, vaporizing, or coagulating in any soft tissue application, which are therapeutic medical procedures.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose is for "cutting, vaporizing, or coagulating in any soft tissue application," which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly describes physical components such as optical fibers, catheter tubes, cannulas, needles, handpieces, and handles, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "laser surgical procedures for cutting, vaporizing, or coagulating in any soft tissue application." This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient's tissue.
  • Device Description: The description details a "laser fiber" that transmits laser energy for surgical purposes. It mentions being used "intraoperatively and percutaneously."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for surgical intervention.

Dear Mr. Barthel:

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 (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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

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.
