Intended Use
The W.O.M. Laser U100 is intended for use in endoscopic surgical procedures . to fragment stones. The W.O.M. Laser U100 is indicated for use to fragment urinary stones ● (kidney, ureter and bladder) and biliary stones in the contact mode during closed surgical procedures. The W.O.M. Laser U100 is indicated for use in the contact mode to fragment urinary stones (kidney, ureter, bladder) and biliary stones in closed surgical procedures.
Device Description
The W.O.M. Laser U100 has the same intended use, identical design features and principles of operation as the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K011175). Differently to the predicate device the W.O.M. Laser U100 described in this premarket notification is not only indicated for use to fragment urinary stones but also biliary stones. In addition, the W.O.M. Laser U100 has the same intended use and indication for use, similar design features and similar principles of operation as the Candela MDL 2000 LaserTripter (K901723). All three devices are intended for use in endoscopic surgical procedures to fragment stones. Both the W.O.M. Laser U100 and the Candela MDL 2000 LaserTripter are indicated for use to fragment urinary and biliary stones in the contact mode during closed surgical procedures. The W.O.M. Laser U100 and the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K011175) use identical physical processes to generate the laser beams and method of transmission to the stone. Although the W.O.M. Laser U100 and the Candela MDL 2000 LaserTripter (K901723) generate their respective laser beams through different physical processes, the characteristics of the treatment beams (wavelength, pulse energy, pulse duration and pulse frequency) are similar. Moreover, the method of transmission to the stone (laser fiber) is similar and both devices provide aiming beams to allow visual indication of the stone location. All three devices incorporate an internal water cooling cycle with a water-air heat exchanger system. In addition, all three devices provide identical or similar safety features and identical or similar parameters are displayed on the operator panel of the devices. Finally, the W.O.M. Laser U100 and the predicate devices transmit pulses of laser energy by a quartz fiber to the stone (contact mode). The laser pulses are transformed into an ultrasonic wave (acoustic impact waves) which mechanically crush the stone.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a laser lithotripsy device that fragments stones using physical processes (laser pulses transformed into ultrasonic waves). There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The comparison to predicate devices focuses on physical characteristics and operational principles, not data-driven algorithms.

Yes
The device is described as being used "to fragment stones" in endoscopic surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating medical conditions (urinary and biliary stones).

No

The device is intended for fragmenting stones (treatment), not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a laser beam generator, transmission fiber, internal water cooling cycle, and operator panel, indicating it is a physical medical 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 is for "endoscopic surgical procedures to fragment stones" within the body (urinary and biliary stones). This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser device that transmits energy via a fiber to mechanically crush stones. This is a physical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Measuring analytes or biomarkers

The device is clearly designed for a surgical, therapeutic purpose, not for performing diagnostic tests on samples.

All three devices are intended for use in endoscopic surgical procedures to fragment stones. Both the W.O.M. Laser U100 and the Candela MDL 2000 LaserTripter are indicated for use to fragment urinary and biliary stones in the contact mode during closed surgical procedures.

The W.O.M. Laser U100 and the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K011175) use identical physical processes to generate the laser beams and method of transmission to the stone. Although the W.O.M. Laser U100 and the Candela MDL 2000 LaserTripter (K901723) generate their respective laser beams through different physical processes, the characteristics of the treatment beams (wavelength, pulse energy, pulse duration and pulse frequency) are similar. Moreover, the method of transmission to the stone (laser fiber) is similar and both devices provide aiming beams to allow visual indication of the stone location.

All three devices incorporate an internal water cooling cycle with a water-air heat exchanger system. In addition, all three devices provide identical or similar safety features and identical or similar parameters are displayed on the operator panel of the devices.

Finally, the W.O.M. Laser U100 and the predicate devices transmit pulses of laser energy by a quartz fiber to the stone (contact mode). The laser pulses are transformed into an ultrasonic wave (acoustic impact waves) which mechanically crush the stone.

The differences of the W.O.M. Laser U100 to the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K011175) are minor and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. Most of the modifications rather have been made to fulfill the UL Standard 2601.
