The Device is indicated for hair removal and permanent hair reduction in dermatology and plastic surgery procedures.

Device Description

The F1 Diode Laser System delivers a pulsed infrared laser light at a wavelength of 810 nanometers. The laser consists of several interconnected sections: The cabinet which houses the laser diode, the power supply, the PC-104, and the microcontroller, the umbilical which houses the fiber optics delivery system, and the handpiece and the external TE chiller.

AI/ML Overview

This submission is a 510(k) premarket notification for the F1 Diode Laser System. The provided documents establish substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on intended use and technological characteristics. However, they do not contain information about specific acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or any details related to AI or MRMC studies.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance or details about the studies as such information is not present in the provided text.

The closest information available is the claim that:

  • "The device, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate devices, and the device is substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices."
  • "The differences between the F1 Diode Laser System and the predicate devices cited do not raise any different questions regarding safety and effectiveness."

This indicates a qualitative assessment of equivalence rather than a quantitative study with defined acceptance criteria and performance metrics.

Trade Name:F1 Diode Laser System
Common Name:Pulsed Diode Laser
Classification:Laser Instrument, Surgical, Powered: GEX

Description: The F1 Diode Laser System delivers a pulsed infrared laser light at a wavelength of 810 nanometers. The laser consists of several interconnected sections: The cabinet which houses the laser diode, the power supply, the PC-104, and the microcontroller, the umbilical which houses the fiber optics delivery system, and the handpiece and the external TE chiller.

Intended Use: The Device is indicated for hair removal and permanent hair reduction in dermatology and plastic surgery procedures.

Predicate Devices: The predicate devices referenced in this submission are: the Opus Medical F1 Diode Laser System for the existing indication, the Lumenis LightSheer™ Pulsed Diode Arrav Laser System, Iridex Iriderm Apex 800, and the Altus Medical Modified CoolClide Aesthetic Lasers.

Summary and Conclusions Regarding Substantial Equivalence:

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but it can be demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and the new device does not raise different questions regarding safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

The differences between theF1 Diode Laser System and the predicate devices cited do not raise any different questions regarding safety and effectiveness. The differences in the technological characteristics are minimal. Furthermore, the subject of this submission is identical to the previously cleared F1 Diode Laser System with the exception of the indications for use. The new indications are nearly identical to the indications of two of the predicate devices.

The device, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate devices, and the device is substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices.

Dear Ms. van de Zande:

Received: January 23, 2003

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. 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
