Device Description

The Fotona LightWalker Laser System Family is based on Er:YAG (2940 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser technology. It combines two flashlamp-pumped laser sources in one housing, with optical cavities containing the Er:YAG and Nd:YAG crystals. A diode aiming beam is combined with both therapeutic laser beams. The combined therapeutic and aiming beams are guided through an articulated arm to an optical handpiece (in the case of the Er: YAG laser), or, in the case of the Nd:YAG laser, through an optical fiber delivery system to an optical handpiece or to the bare fiber distal end. The Er:YAG laser is intended to be used for incision/excision, cutting, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of soft and hard tissue in dentistry, dermatology and other surgical areas. The Nd:YAG laser is intended to be used for various intra oral treatments in dentistry, and for various surgical and aesthetic applications in dermatology and other surgical areas.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Fotona LightWalker Laser System Family, which is a medical laser system. The document focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices and does not detail specific acceptance criteria or a study that evaluates the device's performance against such criteria in the context of clinical outcomes or diagnostic accuracy. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" discussed are related to regulatory compliance and safety standards, and the "study" is a non-clinical summary of verification and validation tests.

Therefore, the requested information elements related to device performance (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity), ground truth, sample sizes for test and training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, and MRMC studies are not applicable to this document as it does not present a clinical performance study of this nature.

Here's the information that can be extracted based on the provided text, primarily focusing on the regulatory and technical aspects:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

As this document does not present a clinical performance study with acceptance criteria for metric-based performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy), the "acceptance criteria" here refer to compliance with safety and performance standards. The "reported device performance" refers to the device meeting these standards.

Acceptance Criteria (Compliance with Standards)Reported Device Performance (Compliance Statement)

EN ISO 17664:2017 (Processing of health care products - Information to be provided by the medical device manufacturer for the processing of medical devices)Device designed, tested, and will be manufactured in accordance with this standard.
EN ISO 10993-1:2009 (Biological evaluation of medical devices - Evaluation and testing within a risk management process)Device designed, tested, and will be manufactured in accordance with this standard.
Other international/CB Scheme/ISO standards (IEC 60601 series, IEC 60825-1, IEC 62366, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, ISO 17664, ISO 10993-1)Device designed, tested, and will be manufactured in accordance with these standards.
Substantial Equivalence to Predicate DevicesThe device's indications for use and technological characteristics do not raise new types of questions regarding safety and efficacy when compared to the predicates.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Not Applicable. The document describes a substantial equivalence submission based on non-clinical testing and comparison to predicate devices, not a clinical study with a "test set" of patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

  • Not Applicable. No experts were used to establish ground truth for a clinical test set as no such study is described.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

  • Not Applicable. No test set or related adjudication process is described.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

  • Not Applicable. No MRMC study or AI component is mentioned. This is a laser device cleared for surgical procedures.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • Not Applicable. This device is a laser system, not an algorithm. Its operation inherently involves a human operator and it does not have "standalone" performance in the context of an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used:

  • Not Applicable. The "ground truth" for this regulatory submission is compliance with established safety and performance standards for medical devices and establishing substantial equivalence based on technical characteristics and intended use. No clinical ground truth (e.g., pathology, outcomes data) is presented in this document.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not Applicable. This document does not describe a machine learning algorithm or a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not Applicable. This document does not describe a machine learning algorithm or a training set.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

The Fotona LightWalker Laser System Family is based on Er:YAG (2940 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser technology. It combines two flashlamp-pumped laser sources in one housing, with optical cavities containing the Er:YAG and Nd:YAG crystals. A diode aiming beam is combined with both therapeutic laser beams. The combined therapeutic and aiming beams are guided through an articulated arm to an optical handpiece (in the case of the Er: YAG laser), or, in the case of the Nd:YAG laser, through an optical fiber delivery system to an optical handpiece or to the bare fiber distal end. The Er:YAG laser is intended to be used for incision/excision, cutting, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of soft and hard tissue in dentistry, dermatology and other surgical areas. The Nd:YAG laser is intended to be used for various intra oral treatments in dentistry, and for various surgical and aesthetic applications in dermatology and other surgical areas.

    *Note: Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term, stable redction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured at 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of a treatment regime.

INDICATIONS FOR USE COMPARISON

The indications for use from the predicate laser devices that are now included in the LightWalker Laser System Family do not raise new types of questions regarding safety and effectiveness. A new Uvulopalatoplasty by laser resurfacing indication for use with the Er.YAG laser output (2940 nm) has been introduced, based on the Laser assisted uvulopalatoplasty indication for use previously cleared for the primary predicate device with the Nd:YAG laser output (1064 nm).

TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON

The Fotona LightWalker Laser System Family has either identical or similar applicable technological and design characteristics (design, chemical composition, energy source, wavelength, active medium, cooling system, power supply, beam delivery, controls, housing) as the previously cleared Fotona LightWalker Laser System Family (K193661) and Dynamis Pro Family (K182088). Four new handpieces have been introduced. The new handpieces offer new treatment options for specific indications for use that were previously cleared for the predicate devices. The output characteristics of the proposed device are similar to those of the predicate devices for the proposed intended use. All of the devices utilize class I aiming beams that pose a minimal hazard to the user when the devices are used properly. All systems are microprocessor controlled devices. The microprocessor control regulates normal operation, permits parameter selection and avoids hazard incidence. All systems utilize an internal closed loop water-air heat exchanger circuit for optimal thermal control of the laser cavity.
