Conclusion

The subject device shares the same principle of operation as the three predicate devices. All are diode lasers that emit radiant energy at approximately 808nm to 980mm and 450nm with outputs that range from 0.1 to 5.0W. All deliver collimated laser energy to subject target tissue via 200 to 400 um fiberoptic tips controlled by trained, experienced clinicians. All share the same indications for use in dental intraoral soft tissue general, oral maxilla-facial and cosmetic surgery. All have photo initiated dental teeth whitening, and one other has dental materials curing. All have been found to satisfy international safety standards relating to electrical medical devices in general and medical lasers in particular. All have similar safety labeling, device interlocks, and associated safety features. Both the subject and a predicate devices output were measured and compared to their settings to determine the accuracy of the devices" controls. Both met international standards pertaining to accuracy of output of the working beam, but the difference between the subject devices output and its setting was much less than the predicate's, demonstrating not only conformance to the standard, but also superior control over laser emissions. Performance testing has been accomplished for the Viax Dental Lab Lucerna VDL980-1that compares it to the predicate devices and that it meets international standards pertinent to validating its performance and compliance. The Viax Dental Lab Lucerna VDL980-1 has been tested and is in compliance with IEC60601-1 (Medical Electrical Equipment Safety); IEC60601-1-2 (EMC): IEC60825-1/IEC60601-2-22 (Photobiological Safety); Software validation in compliance with IEC61508; and ISO 14971 (Risk Management).

The VIAX Dental Lab LUCERNA VDL980-1

Viax Dental Lab Lucerna VDL980-1 device shares intended uses, principle of operation, technical attributes, functional capabilities, and performance characteristics with the listed predicate devices. Both the subject and predicate devices have been shown to comply with applicable Federal and international safety and performance standards. The Sapphire ST Portable Laser is substantially equivalent to the listed predicate laser surgical devices and does not raise any issues of safety or effectiveness.
