Intended Use
The Fibers are indicated for use in general surgical applications for incision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis or coagulation of soft tissue. It is also indicated for use in open or closed endoscopic applications including excision,tissue dissection, excision of external tumors and lesions, complete or partial resection of internal organs, tumors or lesions, tissue vaporization, hemostasis and or coagulation may be indicated. The Adler MicroMed Laser Surgery Fibers have a wavelength range of 450 nm to 2100 nm, can be used in contact and non-contact mode and are indicated for use in general surgery, urology, gastroenterology, gynecology, gynecology, drmnology, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, ENT and endovenous occlusion of the greater saphenous veni in the patient with superficial vein reflux and laser assisted lipolysis with a cleared compatible laser marketed for the mononed intended uses and using an SMA 905 connector.
Device Description
The Adler MicroMed Laser Surgery Fibers are single use laser delivery devices provided sterile and intended for medical applications in various fields of laser surgerv. The devices are based on a silica quartz glass core, have a length range of 6.5 feet (2 meters) to 9.8 feet (3 meters) and a wavelength range between 450 and 2100nm. The proximal end of the fibers is connected to a cleared laser system via an SMA 905 connector, while the distal end delivers the laser energy to the target tissue inn pulsed and continuous wave mode. The distal end may have a rounded or conical silica cap, or non-capped tips, which may be flat, spherical, ball, conical or bended for the various intended uses and effects.
More Information

No
The document describes a passive laser delivery fiber and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a laser delivery device for various surgical applications, including incision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue, which are all therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a laser delivery system used for surgical applications like incision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of tissue. Its intended uses are therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical fiber optic cable made of silica quartz glass, intended for delivering laser energy, and connects to a laser system via an SMA 905 connector. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the Adler MicroMed Laser Surgery Fibers clearly state that they are used for surgical applications involving the direct interaction with and manipulation of soft tissue within the body. This includes incision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, and coagulation.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples taken from the body. Its function is to deliver laser energy directly to tissue.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Adler MicroMed Laser Surgery Fibers have the same mechanism of action, same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices, the Oberon Laser Surgery Fibers, (K140470).

Non clinical Performance Data :

The following performance tests has been conducted in order to demonstrate that the Adler Laser Surgery Fibers are as safe and as effective as the cleared predicate devices:

| Sterilization | Sterilization Validation
SAL Evaluation
EO Validation |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Packaging | Packaging Validation
Package Integrity
Package Sealing Validation |
| Shelf Life | Shelf Life Validation |
| Biocompatibility | Biocompatibility testing relevant to products |
| Functional | Aging test, Energy transmission validation |

Clinical Performance data: None

Conclusion:

Based on above, we conclude that equivalence has been demostrated and that Adler MicroMed Laser Surgery Fibers are as safe and effective as the predicate device.
