Protégé and Protégé LP Er: YAG Laser Systems and Accessories
This document is a 510(k) clearance letter from the FDA for the Protégé and Protégé LP Er:YAG Laser Systems and Accessories, dated November 3, 1997. It explicitly states that the devices are substantially equivalent to pre-amendments devices.
Therefore, this document does not contain information related to specific acceptance criteria, device performance studies, or AI/software validation as presented in the request.
The concept of "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" as detailed in the prompt (e.g., sample size, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone performance) typically applies to more modern submissions, especially for AI/ML-driven devices, or devices requiring more extensive clinical evidence beyond substantial equivalence to a predicate.
Thus, I cannot extract the requested information from the provided text.
§ 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.
