Ruby (694nm) The Q-Plus T Q-Switched laser is intended for use for cutting, vaporization and ablation of soft tissue and the removal of tattoos and benign pigment lesion. Some examples of pigment lesions are - Lentigines - café-au-lait-blotches - Ephalides - Benign Naevi such as: - Naevus of Ota - Naevus of Ito - Epidermal Naevi - Congenital Naevi - Beckers Naevi - Blue Nevus - Naevus Spillus - Mongolian Spot
Device Description
The device includes a Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser source with 1000mJ max energy at 1064 nm and 500mJ max energy at 532 nm wavelengths, and a Q-Switched Ruby laser source with 1000mJ max energy at 694nm wavelength. The optical delivery system for the three wavelengths is the articulated arm. In addition, the Q-Plus T includes a power supply; a cooling system; an optical delivery system; a microprocessor based controller; and safety features to ensure use of the appropriate laser, wavelength and hand piece.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the laser technology, wavelengths, energy levels, and basic control systems (microprocessor-based controller). There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms for diagnosis, treatment planning, or device control beyond standard operational parameters.

Yes.
The device is intended for the treatment of various medical conditions, including vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and a range of benign pigment lesions, which are therapeutic applications.

No

The document describes the device's intended use for treatment (e.g., removal, ablation, vaporization) of various lesions and tissues, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it includes hardware components such as laser sources, an articulated arm, power supply, cooling system, and a microprocessor-based controller.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a laser system intended for treatment of various skin conditions and for soft tissue procedures. It directly interacts with the patient's body (in vivo) for therapeutic purposes.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient.

Therefore, the Q-Plus T Q-Switched laser falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Quanta System O-Plus-T is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. The Q-Plus T has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the Q-Plus T and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Q-Plus T is substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Job:

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. Ilsting 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
