Device Description

The Fotona Light Walker Laser System Family is based on Er: YAG (2940 nm) and Nd: YAG (1064 nm) laser technology. The laser unit and controls are contained in a single console. Electrical power is supplied to the console by the facility's power source. The unit combines two flashlamp-pumped laser sources in one housing, with optical cavities containing the Er: YAG and Nd: YAG crystals. A red diode aiming beam (650 nm) is combined with both therapeutic laser beams. The combined therapeutic and aiming beams are guided through an articulated arm to an optical manual or scanner hand piece (in the case of the Er: YAG laser), or through an optical fiber delivery system to an optical manual or scanner hand piece (in the case of the Nd: YAG laser). Optionally, the Nd: YAG therapeutic and aiming laser beams can be guided through a fiber having a connector on the proximal end and a bare fiber on the distal end. Fotona's power supply Variable Square Pulse (VSP) Technology, integrated into the laser system, allows control of the laser pulse duration. The user activates laser emission by means of a footswitch.

AI/ML Overview

This submission is a 510(k) Pre-Market Notification, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices rather than providing a performance study against specific acceptance criteria. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth establishment for a performance study is not available in this document.

The document states: "The Fotona LightWalker Er:YAG/Nd:YAG Laser System Family is substantially equivalent to Fotona LightWalker Laser System Family (K101817), Fotona Fidelis III Er:YAG/Nd: YAG Laser System Family (K093162), Fotona Dynamis Er:YAG/Nd:YAG Laser System Family (K101306), Fotona XP Nd:YAG Laser System Family (K090126) and (K113702), Cutera GenesisPlus Laser System (K103626) and PinPointe FootLaser (K093547). The Fotona LightWalker Er: YAG/Nd:YAG Laser System Family is substantially equivalent in terms of indications for use and technology based on technical characteristics."

This means the "study" demonstrating the device meets "acceptance criteria" (in the context of a 510(k)) is the comparison of technical specifications and intended uses to already cleared predicate devices. The "acceptance criteria" are effectively the specifications and intended uses of those predicate devices.

Here's the information that can be extracted, with explanations for what is not applicable or not provided:


1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Since this is a substantial equivalence submission, the "acceptance criteria" are the technical specifications and intended uses of the predicate devices. The "reported device performance" is the new device's technical specifications.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided. This is a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence, not a clinical trial with a "test set" in the traditional sense for evaluating diagnostic performance or clinical outcomes. The "test" is the comparison of technical specifications and intended uses.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided. No "ground truth" for a performance study was established as part of this submission. The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is the FDA's prior clearance of the predicate devices.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided. There was no "test set" requiring adjudication.

5. 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 / Not Provided. This device is a surgical laser, not an AI-based diagnostic tool. No MRMC studies were conducted or are relevant to this type of device and submission.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided. This is not an algorithm-only device. It is a physical laser system.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • The "ground truth" for this 510(k) submission is the FDA's prior clearance of the predicate devices, meaning their safety and effectiveness for their stated indications have already been accepted by the regulatory body.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The "training" in a broad sense involved the design and testing of the laser system to ensure it met its own engineering specifications, but this is not reported in terms of a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not Applicable / Not Provided. As there is no training set mentioned, no ground truth for it was established.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The Fotona LightWalker Laser system family has the same technological and design characteristics (design, chemical composition, energy source; wavelength, active medium, cooling system, power supply, beam delivery, controls, housing) as the previously cleared devices. The output characteristics are for the intended use the same as those of the predicate devices. All systems are based on VSP (Variable Square Pulse) power supply technology. All lasers utilize class I aiming beams which pose no hazard to the user. All systems are microprocessor controlled devices. The microprocessor control regulates normal operation, permits parameter selection and avoids hazard incidence. All systems utilize an internal closed loop water-air heat exchanger circuit for optimal thermal control of the laser cavity. The risk and benefits for the Fotona LightWalker Laser System family are identical to the predicate devices when used for similar clinical applications.
