The PhotoMedex LaserPro 810, 940 and 980 Diode Laser Systems are designed to provide laser power at wavelengths of 810mm, 940mm, and 980mm, depending on model, which can be used for the procedures indicated in the next section of this summary. These devices have been cleared previously via K040294. Differences between the cleared and modified device are limited to:
- Maximum output power increased from 20 to 25 Watts (Systems are identified by output frequency and maximum power).
- User adjustable (intensity) aiming beam (the maximum aiming beam optical power does not change from currently cleared device).
The system is comprised of the following main components:
- A laser console/cabinet with fiber port to accept SMA-905 connectors.
- Display panel with soft-touch keypad control and separate Emergency Off button.
- Laser system microprocessor control electronics with operating software
- A detachable covered footswitch.
The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for the PhotoMedex LaserPro 810, 940 and 980 Systems Diode Laser Systems, submitted to the FDA for premarket notification. This type of submission relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than conducting new clinical studies to prove safety and effectiveness.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria related to device performance in a clinical study for several reasons:
- Substantial Equivalence: The submission is based on the concept of "substantial equivalence" to previously cleared devices (K040294, K023543, K954316, K952661). This means PhotoMedex is asserting that their modified devices (with increased maximum output power and user-adjustable aiming beam) are as safe and effective as the predicate devices, and perform similarly. They are not introducing "new clinical indications" that would necessitate new performance criteria or efficacy studies.
- Safety and Effectiveness Justification: Section 7, "SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS," explicitly states: "The PhotoMedex LaserPro 810. 940 and 980 Diode Laser Systems are designed... with both mandatory and voluntary and voluntary Standards ensuring when used with marketed cleared delivery systems identified to be chisating when are considered both safe and effective for the medical applications indicated. No new clinical indications are to be provided by the introduction of LaserPro Diode Surgical Lasers as compared to the identified predicates, which havel previously demonstrated clinical effectiveness." This indicates that the safety and effectiveness are established by adherence to standards and the prior clearance of predicate devices for similar indications.
- No Clinical Study Details: The document makes no mention of any new human subject clinical trials, test sets, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance studies. These are typically associated with novel devices or significant changes requiring new performance validation.
Given the nature of a 510(k) for minor modifications to an existing device and the explicit statements in the document, it is not possible to extract the requested information. The "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context is implicitly the historical data and regulatory clearances of the predicate devices.
