The CO2 Laser Therapy System is used for body soft tissue vaporization and coagulation in dermatology and plastic surgery, general surgery, gynecology.
The CO2 Laser Therapy Systems generate a 10,600nm wavelength, which is absorbed by water in the tissue. The laser energy heats up the water until it reaches a boiling point causing the evaporation of the affected tissue. Some heat is absorbed by tissue adjacent to the ablated target area, causing tissue coagulation which induces hemostasis (the cessation of bleeding) as well as thermal stimulation of deep skin layers, which induces fibroblast stimulation and neocollagenesis (the formation of new collagen).
I'm sorry, but the provided text describes a medical device called "CO2 Laser Therapy System" and its FDA 510(k) clearance application. It details the device's indications for use, technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, along with non-clinical testing performed to meet electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
However, the document explicitly states in section "VIII Clinical Testing" that "It is not applicable." This means that no clinical studies, which would typically involve testing the device's performance against defined acceptance criteria on a test set with ground truth, were conducted or included in this submission for the purpose of demonstrating substantial equivalence.
Therefore, I cannot provide the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, data provenance, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth establishment, as this type of information is not present in the provided text. The FDA clearance was based on substantial equivalence to predicate devices and non-clinical performance testing.
§ 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.
