Device Description
The Ceralas D Laser System is a complete self-contained compact surgical laser that utilizes gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) semiconductor diodes to generate near-infrared laser radiation. The laser employs a modular design comprised of: (1) a laser diode; (2) a cooling module containing the laser diode, thermoelectric coolers, heat sink fins and fans; (3) an optics module containing a beamsplitter for control of optical power; (4) front control and display panel; and (5) RFI-shielded, transformer power supply and control electronics. Interchangeable fiber optic delivery systems are coupled to the laser via an SMA 905 connector to deliver laser radiation to the target tissues. The diode laser is enclosed in a rugged, factory aligned, environmentally protective module. The wavelength for the Ceralas D Laser System is 980 ± 30nm, and its laser aiming beam wavelength is 635nm+10nm. The power output ranges from 1-15 Watts. The delivery systems for the Ceralas D Laser System consist of an optical fiber fitted with an SMA 905 connector at the proximal end. The optical fiber is composed of quartz fiber core with a coaxially mounted protective sheath.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the hardware components and laser technology, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is indicated for various medical applications on soft tissue, such as frenectomy, biopsy, gingivectomy, and treatment of aphthous ulcers, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The Ceralas D Laser System is described as a "surgical laser" indicated for various soft tissue procedures like frenectomy, biopsy, gingivectomy, etc. These are treatments, not diagnostic processes. The description also mentions it is used to "deliver laser radiation to the target tissues," which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a laser diode, cooling module, optics module, control panel, power supply, and fiber optic delivery systems.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures performed directly on intraoral and extraoral soft tissue. This involves treating the patient directly, not analyzing samples taken from the patient outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device description details a surgical laser system designed to deliver laser radiation to target tissues for therapeutic purposes. This is consistent with a surgical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), reagents, or any processes typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Ceralas D Laser System's function is to perform surgical procedures on living tissue.

plastic surgery, dermatology, and otolaryngology. Specific indications for the previously cleared Ceralas D Laser System include tonsillectomy, thyroidectomy, vocal cord polypectomy, hemiglossectomy, tracheal stenosis, neck dissection, and oral cavity lesions.

The company is expanding the Ceralas D Laser System's indications for use to include the following applications on intraoral and extraoral soft tissue (including marginal and interdental gingiva and epithelial lining of free gingiva): frenectomy; frenotomy; biopsy; operculectomy; implant recovery; gingivectomy; gingivoplasty; gingival troughing; crown lengthening; hemostasis of donor site; removal of granulation tissue; laser assisted flap surgery; debridement of diseased epithelial lining; incisions and draining of abscesses; tissue retraction for impressions: papillectomy: vestibuloplasty; excision of lesions; exposure of unerupted/partially erupted teeth: leukoplakia; removal of hyperplastic tissues; treatment of aphthous ulcers; and sulcular debridement (removal of diseased or inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket).

As explained below, the Company's Ceralas D Laser System is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Ceralas D Laser System (K951775, K964497), Premier Laser Systems' Aurora Diode Dental Laser (K954316, K974586). American Dental Technologies' Pulsemaster® 1000 ST Dental Diode Laser System (K972325), and American Dental Technologies' Pulsemaster® 1000 Nd:YAG Laser (K961269, K961136).

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

As stated above, there have been no significant changes to the Ceralas D Laser System since it was cleared by FDA. The Ceralas D Laser System is a complete self-contained compact surgical laser that utilizes gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) semiconductor diodes to generate near-infrared laser radiation. The laser employs a modular design comprised of: (1) a laser diode; (2) a cooling module containing the laser diode, thermoelectric coolers, heat sink fins and fans; (3) an optics module containing a beamsplitter for control of optical power; (4) front control and display panel; and (5) RFI-shielded, transformer power supply and control electronics. Interchangeable fiber optic delivery systems are coupled to the laser via an SMA 905 connector to deliver laser radiation to the target tissues. The diode laser is enclosed in a rugged, factory aligned, environmentally protective module.

The wavelength for the Ceralas D Laser System is 980 ± 30nm, and its laser aiming beam wavelength is 635nm+10nm. The power output ranges from 1-15 Watts. The delivery systems for the Ceralas D Laser System consist of an optical fiber fitted with an SMA 905 connector at the proximal end. The optical fiber is composed of quartz fiber core with a coaxially mounted protective sheath.

Moreover, the optical fiber delivery system has been previously cleared for dental use (K942182).

CeramOptec has made no significant changes to the hardware or software of the Ceralas D Laser since it was cleared by FDA. Likewise, CeramOptec has made no significant changes to its software development process since its previous 510(k) submission for the Ceralas D Laser System. Additionally, the software verification and validation were conducted in accordance with FDA's Guidance Document, "Reviewer Guidance For Computer Controlled Medical Devices Undergoing 510(k) Review."

The principal technological difference between the Ceralas Diode Laser and Premier Laser System's Aurora Diode Dental Laser is that the devices operate at different wavelengths. The Ceralas D Laser's wavelength is 980 ±30mm and the Aurora Diode Dental Laser's wavelength is 805-820mm. However, it is not believed that the difference between the devices' wavelength raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

The Ceralas D Laser is also similar to American Dental Technologies' Pulsemaster® 1000 ST Diode Dental Laser. Both devices are similar in function and intended use. and are diode lasers which operate in a continuous or pulsed mode with wavelength ranges similar to the Premier Laser System's Aurora Diode Dental Laser. In summary, although there are minor differences between the Ceralas D Laser System and its predicate devices, these differences do not raise new questions of safety and efficacy.
