The equipment is used for human tissue vaporization, coagulation in dermatology, plastic surgery, and general surgery. The fractional scanner is only for the treatment of wrinkles and skin resurfacing.
The CO2 Diode Laser Therapy Systems mainly consist of console, articulated arm and a foot switch. CO2 laser wavelength is 10600nm, which is used to gasify the skin tissue based on the principle of the theory selective photothermolysis. The water in skin is the main target of the CO2 fractional laser, after absorbed the energy of the laser, the water will release heat, then be evaporated and gasified immediately, the cutaneous lesion will be eliminated instantly. By setting up the suitable energy and other parameters on skin tissue based on its specific thermal relaxation time, the healthy tissue can be prevented from being harmed.
This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the CO2 Laser Therapy Systems (K162398). The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (CO2 Laser Therapy Machine, K161925) rather than providing a study where the device meets specific performance acceptance criteria from a clinical trial.
Therefore, many of the requested elements for a study proving acceptance criteria cannot be extracted because such a study is not part of this 510(k) summary. Instead, the document provides non-clinical performance data (biocompatibility, electrical safety, EMC, and software verification/validation) to support safety and effectiveness and substantial equivalence.
Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted, and where the requested information is not available:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
This document does not present a table of specific acceptance criteria (e.g., specific clinical performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, or a reduction in wrinkles of a certain percentage) that the device was evaluated against in a clinical study. Instead, the performance data provided are non-clinical performance tests demonstrating compliance with recognized standards.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance (Non-Clinical) |
|---|---|
| Biocompatibility | Complies with ISO 10993-1. Passed tests for Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, and Irritation for skin and subcutaneous tissue contact ( |
§ 878.4810 Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology.
(a)
Identification. (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II.(2) Class I for special laser gas mixtures used as a lasing medium for this class of lasers. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 878.9.
