Intended Use

The SOLTIVE™ Laser System (SOLTIVE™ Pro SuperPulsed Laser, SOLTIVE™ Premium SuperPulsed Laser, SOLTIVE™ Laser Fibers, and Accessories) is intended for incision, resection, ablation, coagulation, hemostasis, and vaporization of soft tissue, with or without an endoscope, in the following indications: urology, lithotripsy, gastroenterological surgery and gynecological surgery.

Device Description

The SOLTIVE Laser System (SOLTIVE™ Pro SuperPulsed Laser, SOLTIVE™ Premium SuperPulsed Laser, SOLTIVE™ Laser Fibers, and Accessories) is a thulium laser. producing a pulsed beam of coherent near-infrared light (1940 nm) upon activation by a footswitch. The beam is then directed to the treatment zone by means of an optical fiber coupled to a handpiece. An integrated LED touch screen gives the user control over the necessary laser system parameters. The SOLTIVE Laser System is equipped with a 550 nm aiming beam.

The SOLTIVE Laser System is produced in two models, the SOLTIVE™ Premium SuperPulsed Laser and SOLTIVE™ Pro SuperPulsed Laser. The Premium has a maximum power output of 60 Watts and a maximum Frequency output of 2400 Hz. A secondary, foldable screen is provided. The Pro can operate at a maximum power of 35 Watts and Frequency limited to 100Hz. Both systems are operated with a wireless footswitch or wired footswitch, and both systems can utilize an auxiliary video monitor to display operating parameters. The Premium and Pro Laser must be used with a SOLTIVE Laser Fiber, offered in diameters from 150 - 940 microns.

The system includes:

  • Laser console
  • Laser fibers sterile single use and reusable
  • Foot pedal, wireless or wired
  • Accessories power cord. HDMI cable, safety goggles/glasses, fiber cutter, fiber cleaver, fiber stripper and cart

The devices do not incorporate medicinal substances, tissues, or blood products. The laser fibers are single-use and reusable, and both single-use and reusable are initially sterilized by Ethylene Oxide. Fibers are compatible with the Olympus endoscope models as listed on the IFU.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the SOLTIVE Laser System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through a labeling modification. This document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and the results of a study proving the device meets those criteria, particularly in the context of an AI/human-in-the-loop system.

The study described here is limited to performance testing of the laser system, which is stated to be identical to the predicate device. The changes are solely in updated labeling to clarify existing cleared Instructions for Use.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document explicitly states:

  • "The subject of this 510(k) is a labeling modification to the SOLTIVE Laser Systems. The device hardware and software design is identical to the predicate. The subject change to the labeling clarifies currently cleared Instructions for Use." (Page 5)
  • "Performance testing was conducted in support of the predicate devices and equivalently applies to the subject device as the labeling clarifications fall within the existing performance envelope of the laser system. Testing demonstrated that all performance requirements met the prescribed acceptance criteria, including the proposed labeling change." (Page 9)

No information specific to a clinical study, AI performance, or human reader effectiveness is present in this document. The acceptance criteria mentioned refer to the intrinsic performance specifications of the laser system itself, not to a diagnostic or assistive AI's performance as would be detailed in an MRMC or standalone study.

Dear Jon Gilbert:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

{1}------------------------------------------------

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatoryinformation/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Summary of Sterilization and Shelf-Life Discussion

SOLTIVE SuperPulsed Laser Fibers Single-use and SOLTIVE SuperPulsed Laser Fibers Reusable are provided sterile. The devices are sterilized by Ethylene Oxide to a provide sterility assurance level of 10-6.

The Shelf-Life period for the Single-use fibers was determined via testing and through an analysis of the shelf-life stability of the materials used in the design of the device, as well as an analysis of the packaging materials and processes used with other Gyrus ACMI devices. Shelf-life studies are on file to support the labeled shelf life.

Summary of All Performance Testing (bench, clinical, non-clinical)

Performance testing was conducted in support of the predicate devices and equivalently applies to the subject device as the labeling clarifications fall within the existing performance envelope of the laser system. Testing demonstrated that all performance requirements met the prescribed acceptance criteria, including the proposed labeling change.

Substantial Equivalence

Substantial equivalence is demonstrated by acknowledged verification/validation activities. The subject devices have identical technology, performance, dimensions, and materials. The differences to the predicate device SOLTIVE Laser Systems are:

  • Clarified labeling for urological and gynecological surgery. ●
  • . Updated Instructions for Use to align with updated labeling.
