The Pastelle laser system consists of an Nd:YAG laser head, a power supply, a cooling system, a delivery system and other electrical components. The laser head contains two Nd:YAG laser medium, and two high-intensity xenon flash lamps enclosed together into the water cooling housing and two reflected mirrors fixed ,in the special adjustable holders composed the laser cavity.
The provided text is a 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Pastelle Laser System. It details the device's characteristics, indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.
Crucially, the document explicitly states: "No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed." This means there is no section describing clinical performance data, acceptance criteria, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert involvement, or ground truth establishment for clinical efficacy.
The "Performance Testing" section under "Non-Clinical Test Summary" describes the technical specifications of the laser's output, not clinical performance or acceptance criteria related to treating conditions. These are technical parameters of the device itself, verified through bench tests, not measures of patient outcomes.
Therefore, since the 510(k) relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices and states no clinical studies were performed, there is no information available in the provided text to describe acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those acceptance criteria in a clinical context.
The document focuses on demonstrating that the new Pastelle device is technically similar to already cleared predicate devices, thus inferring that it will perform similarly.
Based on the provided text, the device's acceptance criteria and proven performance related to clinical outcomes cannot be detailed. The data provided pertains to technical specifications and regulatory compliance through bench 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.
