Intended Use
The Epic 10 is intended for use as a laser surgical instrument requiring the incision, excision, vaporization, ablation and hemostasis, or coagulation of soft tissue. It is indicated for the following expanded Indications for Use: General Surgery, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery and Podiatry - Debridement of wounds.
Device Description
The EPIC 10 system uses an Indium Gallium Arsenide Phosphorous (InGaAsP) solid state laser diode to emit infrared laser energy which is transmitted via a flexible fiber optic cable to a handpiece that emits the energy to the target site. A visible light is emitted at the same time to visually identify the treatment location. The EPIC 10 laser is comprised of a base console, a detachable delivery system, tips, and a wireless footswitch. Various types of the single use tips are included for different applications and the device is activated by means of a wireless footswitch. The Epic 10 delivery system consists of the following: Fiber Optic Assembly, Surgical Handpiece, and Single-use tips.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a laser surgical instrument and its components, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes
The document explicitly states "therapeutic device" and describes its intended use as a medical instrument for surgical procedures on soft tissue, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states its intended use is as a "laser surgical instrument requiring the incision, excision, vaporization, ablation and hemostasis, or coagulation of soft tissue," which are all therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a laser diode, fiber optic cable, handpiece, base console, and wireless footswitch.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "laser surgical instrument requiring the incision, excision, vaporization, ablation and hemostasis, or coagulation of soft tissue." This describes a device used on the body for surgical procedures, not a device used on samples taken from the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system that emits energy via a fiber optic cable to a handpiece for direct application to tissue. This is consistent with a surgical device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the Epic 10 is a surgical laser device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Boswell:

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, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

Non-Clinical Test Data

Non-clinical testing was not performed on this device since the purpose of this 510(k) is to only expand the Indications for Use from the previous 510(k) clearance under 510(k) No. K130465. The indication included in this 510(k) has already been cleared by the FDA for equivalent medical devices manufactured by Quanta System, S.p.A., Biolitec Inc. and Xintec Corporation, dba, Convergent Laser Technologies.

Clinical Test Data

Clinical testing was not conducted on this device.

Conclusion

Based upon the comparison of the Epic 10 with the predicate devices previously cleared by the FDA, the clinical performance of the Epic 10 for the Indication for Use described above is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the legally-marketed predicate devices, the QUANTA Diode Laser Family, the Ceralas Diode 980nm Diode Laser (Models D15, D25) and the Vectra Laser System and Accessories.
