The W.O.M. Laser U100plus is intended for use in endoscopic surgical procedures to fragment stones. The W.O.M. Laser U100plus 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 U100plus is an intracorporal laser lithotripter in Urology and Gastroenterology. It transmits 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 device incorporates an internal water cooling cycle with a water-air heat exchanger system. It provides safety features and displays parameters on the operator panel. Differences from the predicate W.O.M. Laser U100 include a minor increase in pulse energy and pulse frequency, and the option of a double pulse setting.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the W.O.M. Laser U100plus, a device intended for stone fragmentation. However, it does not explicitly state acceptance criteria in a table format with specific performance metrics (e.g., success rates, fragmentation times) that the device must meet.
Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through comparisons of intended use, technical characteristics, and safety/effectiveness data. The "study" mentioned isn't a performance study with defined quantitative acceptance criteria and results against those criteria, but rather a general statement about supporting data.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, with explanations where information is not available:

Study Details
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not specified. The document broadly states "In vitro, in vivo and clinical data has been provided." No specific number of cases or samples for these studies is mentioned.
- Data Provenance: Not specified (e.g., country of origin). The document does not indicate whether data was retrospective or prospective.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not specified. The document does not describe the establishment of a "ground truth" using experts for a test set, as would be common in an AI evaluation. Instead, the studies referred to are to demonstrate safety and efficacy of a medical device.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This concept typically applies to studies involving human readers and interpretation of data (e.g., imaging studies) where adjudicated ground truth is established. The document describes studies on a laser lithotripter, not an interpretive AI system.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI device or an imaging interpretation system. The device is a surgical laser, and the studies described are related to its direct physical performance.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is not an algorithm or AI system. The device itself is a standalone medical instrument. The "study" refers to the performance of the device itself in in vitro, in vivo, and clinical settings.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The concept of "ground truth" in the AI sense is not directly applicable here. The "truth" being established in the in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies would likely relate to objective measurements of stone fragmentation, safety parameters (e.g., tissue damage), and clinical outcomes relevant to the device's intended use. Specific details on how effectiveness (e.g., successful fragmentation) was measured or validated are not provided in this summary.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI model.

510(K) SUMMARY Page -2- / -3-
Intended Use and Indication for Use:
- The W.O.M. Laser U100plus is intended for use in endoscopic surgical ◆ procedures to fragment stones.
- The W.O.M. Laser U100plus is indicated for use to fragment urinary stones . (kidney, ureter and bladder) and biliary stones in the contact mode during closed surgical procedures.
Technical Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:
The W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the predicate devices are intended for use in endoscopic surgical procedures to fragment stones. All three devices are indicated for use to fragment urinary and biliary stones in the contact mode during closed surgical procedures. However, the Dornier Medilas H/2 (K984591) is also indicated for use in cutting, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue.
The W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K023041) have identical principles of operation and similar technological characteristics. Both devices use the same physical processes to generate the laser beams and method of transmission to the stone. The W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the predicate device 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 proposed device and the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 devices incorporate an internal water cooling cycle with a water-air heat exchanger system. In addition. both devices provide the same safety features and similar parameters are displayed on the operator panel of the devices. The differences between the two laser devices are a minor increasement of the pulse energy and pulse frequency and the option of a double pulse setting
The W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the predicate device Dornier Medilas H/2 (K984591) generate their respective laser beam through different physical processes. The predicate device Dornier Medilas H/2 is a Holmium: Y AG laser, that operates with a thermal decomposition of the stone material. Unlike the Dornier Medilas H/2. the laser effect of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus is nonthermal and does not lead to a critical heating of the operating area. This represents a substantial improvement in the safety of laser lithotripsy by avoiding the risk of tissue injury that may result from the use of an Holmimum: Y AG laser to fragment stones in the urinary tract.

510(K) SUMMARY Page -3- / -3-
The differences of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus to the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K023041) are minor and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. Moreover the differences between both devices result in an improvement of the stone fragmentation efficiency. In addition, W.O.M. believes that the differences of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the Dornier Medilas H/2 (K984591) do not raise any concerns regarding the safety and effectiveness. Moreover, the non-thermal and non-cutting properties of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus represent a substantial improvement in the safety of laser lithotripsy.
Safety and Effectiveness Information:
In vitro, in vivo and clinical data has been provided to demonstrate that the W.O.M. Laser U100plus is safe and effective for the fragmentation of biliary stones in closed surgical procedures.
