The Solvo 35W is intended to be used for cutting, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissue in conjunction with endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, bysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, cystoscopes, and colonoscopes), or for open surgery for contact or non-contact surgery with or without a handpiece for use in incision/excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue. The Solvo 35W is indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following medical specialties:
- Arthroscopy
- Urology
- Lithotripsy
- Pulmonology
- Gastroenterology
- Gynecology
- ENT
- General Surgery
The Dornier Medilas H Solvo 35 Laser is a solid-state Holmium YAG Laser. The laser emits laser radiation in the invisible wavelength range of 2080 nm in either a continuous-wave or pulsed mode, which is absorbed primarily by water, with an average penetration depth of approximately 400 um (0.4mm). Due to the application-dependent optimization of the pulse time of 350 microseconds, the Solvo can be used in various medical applications including breaking up stones, cutting tissue, tissue ablation, coaqulation and vaporization.
The laser is microprocessor-controlled utilizing a watchdog-monitored microprocessor and operates with an internal cooling system and a heat exchanger. The bottom of the housing serves as a tank for cooling water and, at the same time, a base for the laser unit. A cooling circuit conducts away heat that is generated by the laser pump lamp. Water heated by the laser pump is conducted out of the cavity and into the stainless steel cooler. Following cooling, it is returned to the tanks.
A graphic control panel regulates and displays the operating parameters, application modes, time functions, system status and messages to the user. The control panel consists of a display with integrated touch screen panel applications to control the functions of the laser. There is a wireless remote display panel available as well that allows the user to see the control panel information without being in front of the unit.

Device Description
The Dornier Medilas H Solvo 35 Laser is a solid-state Holmium YAG Laser. The laser emits laser radiation in the invisible wavelength range of 2080 nm in either a continuous-wave or pulsed mode, which is absorbed primarily by water, with an average penetration depth of approximately 400 um (0.4mm). Due to the application-dependent optimization of the pulse time of 350 microseconds, the Solvo can be used in various medical applications including breaking up stones, cutting tissue, tissue ablation, coaqulation and vaporization.
The laser is microprocessor-controlled utilizing a watchdog-monitored microprocessor and operates with an internal cooling system and a heat exchanger. The bottom of the housing serves as a tank for cooling water and, at the same time, a base for the laser unit. A cooling circuit conducts away heat that is generated by the laser pump lamp. Water heated by the laser pump is conducted out of the cavity and into the stainless steel cooler. Following cooling, it is returned to the tanks.
A graphic control panel regulates and displays the operating parameters, application modes, time functions, system status and messages to the user. The control panel consists of a display with integrated touch screen panel applications to control the functions of the laser. There is a wireless remote display panel available as well that allows the user to see the control panel information without being in front of the unit.
Summary of Technological Characteristics
The Dornier Medilas H Solvo 35 has the same technological characteristics as the Dornier H30 Solvo Laser to which it is a modification. Both lasers are solid state Holmium HO:YAG lasers that operate at a wavelength of 2080 nm. They both operate using the same basic hardware and software platforms, as well as utilize identical laser delivery systems (fiber optic laser cables with SMA 905 connectors).
The primary difference in technical performance characteristics is the available maximum power and frequency and the option to use pre-set laser settings The Dornier Medilas H Solvo 35 has a maximum power of 35W while the Dornier H30 Solvo Laser has a maximum power of 30W. This difference in maximum power does not increase the laser energy range, which is 200- 3500 mJ. The pulse frequency range for the Dornier Medilas H Solvo 35 laser is 3-25 Hz while the range for the predicate Laser is 3-20Hz. This higher maximum power output and frequency is within the range of other cleared Holmium Lasers (Quanta Litho Laser. K163009). The use of a 35W laser for the stated indications is also well established by other cleared lasers. The pre-set laser settings are for user convenience.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The other minor differences between the Dornier Medilas H Solvo 35 and the cleared device are the addition of a remote output display and other minor modifications to support the above noted changes. These include:
- Updated CPU board
- Modified cooling water circuit/pumps.
