No
The description focuses on the laser technology, power settings, operating modes, and hardware components. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.

Yes
The device is described as a laser intended for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in medical and surgical procedures across various specialties, which are all therapeutic applications.

No.
The device description indicates its use for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a 50 W diode laser with hardware components like a cooling system, aiming beam, and graphic display, in addition to software.

Based on the provided information, the Dornier Medilas D Laser is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information about a person's health. The Dornier Medilas D Laser is used directly on the patient's soft tissue for surgical procedures (cutting, vaporization, ablation, coagulation).
  • The intended use and device description clearly outline its function as a surgical laser for direct tissue interaction. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Dornier Medilas D Laser falls under the category of a surgical device rather than an IVD.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The Dornier Medilas D laser and its predicate device, the Dornier 5100 has the same intended use. Both lasers are intended to be used for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in conjunction with endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, cystoscopes, and colonoscopes), or in incision/excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue in contact or non-contact open surgery (with or without hand pieces). Both devices are indicated for use in medicine and surgery.

The Dornier Medilas D laser has the same principles of operation and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicates, Dornier 5100 laser. The Medilas D is a 50 W laser while the 5100 laser is a 100 W laser. Both devices are continuous-wave, emitting laser radiation in the invisible ranges of 940 nm (Medilas D) and 1064 nm (5100). The Medilas D offers laser power of 0-50 W at the distal tip of the light guide, adjustable in 1 W steps. The 5100 offers laser power of 2-100 W at the distal tip of the light quide, adjustable in 1 W steps. Both laser offers adjustable pulse duration. The Medilas D and the 5100 laser offers the same software controlled operating modes with exception to the Medilas D, it does not have the same number of operating modes as the 5100 laser.

The Medilas D is calibrated during the manufacturing process and during service calls. The end-user does not calibrate fibers for this system. The 5100 laser has a photoelectric power meter and is automatically calibrated. Both lasers have a 2-stage waterproof and explosion-proof switch and both laser incorporates a watchdog-monitored microprocessor.

There are minor differences between the Medilas D laser and the predicate 5100 laser, none of which present new issues of safety or effectiveness. The minor differences are discussed in detail below.

The Medilas D and the 5100 laser use very similar aiming beams. The Medilas D uses a 0.1mW Diode laser aiming bean with a wavelength of 645 nm. The 5100 laser uses a 2 mW Diode laser aiming beam with a

2

wavelength of 630 nm. The maximum power of both aiming beams at the aperture is 1 mW. The minor differences in wavelengths between the treatment beams do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness since the aiming beam does not affect the tissue. The aiming beams merely provide visual indication of the location at which the treatment beam will strike the tissue.

Both the Medilas D and the 5100 laser incorporate a graphic display The graphic display shows laser operating parameters, panel. application modes, time functions, system status and messages for the user.

Like its predicated device, the Medilas D laser offers several software controlled operating modes. Most of the operating modes are identical to those offered in the predicate device, the 5100 laser. Both lasers include the following operating modes: Standard, Fibertom, LITT and LPS. The 5100 contain several other modes of operation that are not available on the Medilas D.

The Medilas D and the 5100 laser has a cooling system which includes an air-cooled, temperature controlled internal closed circuit water system.

Both the Medilas D and the 5100 laser are based on a single shutter with two parallel running microprocessors. Whenever one microprocessor runs differently from the other, the 5100 laser hardware initiates a "system fault" routine. During any "system fault," laser production and release immediately halt.

The Medilas D is not an Nd:YAG laser." The Medilas D is a diode laser. The comparison to the laser medium (diode) for the second predicate. Indigo's 830e (K955758) is to provide information to establish the Medilas D substantial equivalency determination in today's marketplace.

The Dornier Medilas D laser has the same principles of operation and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicates, Dornier 5100 (K964760) and Indigo's 830e (K955758). As explained above, the minor differences in the aiming beam, software controlled operating modes, do not present new issues of safety or effectiveness.

From a clinical perspective and comparing design specifications, the Dornier Medilas D laser and the predicate devices are substantially equivalent and have the same intended use. Based on the technological characteristics and overall performance of the devices, Dornier Surgical Products, Inc. believes that no significant differences exist between the

3

Dornier Medilas D and the predicate devices, Dornier 5100 and Indigo's 830e lasers.

Dornier Surgical Products, Inc. believes the minor differences of the Dornier Medilas D and its predicate laser devices should not raise any concerns regarding the overall safety or effectiveness.
