The SPECTRA Laser System is indicated for: the incision, excision, ablation, vaporization of soft tissues for general dermatology, dermatologic and general surgical procedures for coagulation and hemostasis.
532nm Wavelength (nominal delivered energy of 585 nm and 650 nm with optional dye handpieces):
-Tattoo removal: light ink (red, tan, purple, orange, sky blue, green)
-Removal of Epidermal Pigmented Lesions
-Removal of Minor Vascular Lesions including but not limited to telangiectasias
-Treatment of Lentigines
-Treatment of Café-Au-Lait
-Treatment of Seborrheic Keratoses
-Treatment of Post Inflammatory Hyper-Pigmentation
-Treatment of Becker's Nevi, Freckles and Nevi Spilus
1064nm Wavelength:
-Tattoo removal: dark ink (black, blue and brown)
-Removal of Nevus of Ota
-Removal or lightening of unwanted hair with or without adjuvant preparation.
-Treatment of Common Nevi
-Skin resurfacing procedures for the treatment of acne scars and wrinkle
-Treatment of melasma.
The SPECTRA Laser System produces a pulsed beam of coherent near infrared 11064 nm) and visible (532nm) light. This beam is directed to the treatment zone (100 Film) and risulated arm coupled to a handpiece. In addition, two dye handpieces are available that convert the 532 nm wavelength to 585 nm and 650 nm.
When the beam contacts human tissue, the energy in the beam is absorbed, resulting in a very rapid, highly localized temperature increase to the target chromospheres such as melanin and tattoo particles. This increases localized temperature of the chromospheres. The instantaneous temperature increase causes fragmentation of the chromospheres to smaller particles.
By directing the beam onto specific tissue locations, using different handpieces, and controlling the treatment fluence, the intensity of the temperature of the target can be varied. The physician can optimize the effect for different applications by controlling the energy of the laser pulse and the spot size of the treatment beam.
The provided 510(k) Summary for the Lutronic Corporation Spectra Laser System (K113588) does not include any performance data or a study demonstrating the device meets acceptance criteria.
Section 7, titled "Performance Data," explicitly states: "None presented."
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, as this information is not present in the document.
The submission focuses solely on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on similarities in indications for use and technological characteristics.
§ 878.4810 Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.
(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.
