Intended Use
NaturaLase PiQo4 - The NaturaLase Nd: Y AG 1064 Q-switched Laser with 532 nm accessory and Pulse Slicing Module -is indicated for use in aesthetic applications for the following at the specified wavelength: 532 nm - Removal of tattoos for Fitzpatrick skin types I-III to treat the following tattoo colors: red, yellow and orange. 1064 nm - Removal of tattoos for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI) to treat tattoo colors: black, brown, green, blue and purple.
Device Description
The NaturaLase PiQo4 laser is a Nd:YAG 1064 Q-Switched laser with 532 KTP Optics and Pulse Slicing Module. The 532 KTP Optics is available to convert the basic 1064 nm wavelength to 532 nm and the pulse slicing electro-optics allows diverting the leading and trailing portions of the laser pulse away from the delivery system for the purpose of shortening the pulse duration without reducing the peak power. The NaturaLase PiO04 laser offers fast and efficient treatment of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions removal through a variety of spot sizes, fluences and repetition rates. The laser energy is delivered via an articulated arm with interchangeable hand-pieces. A liquid crystal display (LCD) provides visual feedback of control settings and operating parameters. The mechanism of action for tattoo or pigmented lesion removal lies in delivering laser energy at very high peak power.

The 510(k) summary describes a laser system for tattoo and lesion removal. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML applications in medical devices. The description focuses on the laser's physical properties and operational parameters.

No.
The device is indicated for aesthetic applications such as tattoo removal, which falls under cosmetic procedures, not therapeutic ones.

No.
The device description indicates it is a laser used for tattoo and pigmented lesion removal, which is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a hardware-based laser system with physical components like a Nd:YAG laser, KTP Optics, Pulse Slicing Module, articulated arm, and hand-pieces. While it mentions software verification and validation, this is in the context of controlling the hardware, not as a standalone software device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "aesthetic applications for the following at the specified wavelength: Removal of tattoos". This is a therapeutic/aesthetic application performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system designed to deliver energy to the skin for tattoo removal. This is an external, non-diagnostic device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition. IVDs are used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

Therefore, the NaturaLase PiQo4 is a medical device used for aesthetic treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

III. Device Description:

The NaturaLase PiQo4 laser is a Nd:YAG 1064 Q-Switched laser with 532 KTP Optics and Pulse Slicing Module. The 532 KTP Optics is available to convert the basic 1064 nm wavelength to 532 nm and the pulse slicing electro-optics allows diverting the leading and trailing portions of the laser pulse away from the delivery system for the purpose of shortening the pulse duration without reducing the peak power.

The NaturaLase PiO04 laser offers fast and efficient treatment of tattoos and benign pigmented lesions removal through a variety of spot sizes, fluences and repetition rates. The laser energy is delivered via an articulated arm with interchangeable hand-pieces. A liquid crystal display (LCD) provides visual feedback of control settings and operating parameters. The mechanism of action for tattoo or pigmented lesion removal lies in delivering laser energy at very high peak power.

IV. Indication for Use:

NaturaLase PiQo4 – The NaturaLase Nd: YAG 1064 Q-switched Laser with 532 KTP Optics and Pulse Slicing Module - is indicated for use in aesthetic applications at the specified wavelength:

532 mm - removal of tattoos for Fitzpatrick skin types I-III to treat the following tattoo colors: red, yellow and orange.

1064 nm - Removal of tattoos for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI) to treat tattoo colors: black, brown, green, blue and purple

V. Technological Characteristics:

The NaturaLase PiO04 laser has the same intended use and similar indications for use, technological characteristics and operating principles as the Candela PicoWay Laser System (K142372). The NaturaLase PiQo4 laser design and components are very similar to those of the predicate devices. They all have treatment handpieces connected to the articulated arm that is connected to the main console where the user interface is located. They all allow the spot size to be adjusted with the handpiece depending on the application. They all provide an aiming beam to assist in delivery of the therapeutic energy. Differences between the NaturaLase PiQ04 laser and predicate device in specific maximum energy levels and fluence delivered do not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues because the NaturaLase PiQo4 laser parameters fall within the range of parameters delivered by the predicate device.

VI. Testing Performance

All performance testing demonstrated that the NaturaLase PiQo4 laser performs according to specifications and functions as intended.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing for the NaturaLase PiQ04 laser system was conducted by an independent laboratory in accordance with IEC 60601-1, Medical electrical equipment, part 1: general requirements for basic safety and essential performance. The NaturaLase PiQo4 laser was determined to be in conformance with applicable IEC standards (IEC 62366, 60601-1, 60601-1-6, 60601-2-22, and IEC 60825-1). The

biocompatibility of the NaruraLase PiQo4 laser is consistent with the ISO 10993. Software verification and validation testing results are acceptable for software release.

Review of the technological characteristics for the primary predicate device and the PiQo4 Laser shows close similarity in parameters principally responsible for generating tissue effects.

The NaturaLase PiQo4 laser has the same intended use as the predicate device with similar indications for use. It presents similar technological characteristics as the predicate device including the laser type, wavelengths, device design, pulse width, frequency, spot sizes and system components. Although there are some differences between the NaturaLase PiQ04 laser and its predicate device in terms of maximum pulse energy, fluence, pulse duration, etc. these differences do not present any new concerns of safety and effectiveness since the NaturaLase PiQo4 laser parameters are within the range used by the predicate devices for treatment of pigmented lesions and tattoo removal. The NaturaLase PiQo4 laser and its predicate device operate with the same mechanism of action based on selective photothermolysis and based on photothermal and significant photomechanical or acoustic effects of pigments in tattoos. Therefore, the NaturaLase PiQo4 laser has the same intended use and similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as predicate device. The NaturaLase PiQo4 laser is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
