Intended Use

The Ceralas H Laser System is a surgical instrument indicated to treat leg veins in dermatology and plastic surgery procedures. Specific indications for the Ceralas H Laser System include the treatment of leg veins.
The Ceralas H 808nm Diode Laser System is indicated to treat leg veins in dermatology and plastic surgery procedures.

Device Description

The Ceralas H Laser System is a complete, self-contained compact surgical laser that utilizes gallium alumnum arsenide (GaAlAs) semiconductor diodes to generate near-infrared laser radiation. The laser system consists of a console, footswitch, and handpiece which are connected to the device's console. The diode laser is enclosed in a rugged, factory aligned, environmentally protective module. The handpiece is placed against the patient's skin and a pulse of light is delivered to the skin surface when the footswitch and handpiece trigger are depressed.

The wavelength for the Ceralas H Laser System is 808 ± 20nm. The laser delivers pulsed light with a selectable pulse duration of 5-30 millsseconds and a fluence of 10-40J/cm2. The corresponding pulse energy delivered through the 9x9mm handpiece is 8-32 Joules. The laser pulses are generated at a maximum pulse repetition frequency of up to 1 Hz. Additionally, the software and software development activities are in accordance with FDA's guidance document. "Reviewer Guidance For Computer Controlled Medical Devices Undergoing 510(k) Review."

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does NOT describe acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria.

The document is a 510(k) summary for the Ceralas Diode Laser System, which focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device (StarLight™ Pulsed Diode Array Laser System) for regulatory clearance.

Specifically, the "Performance Data" section states: "None required." This indicates that for this particular 510(k) submission, the FDA did not require the applicant to submit performance data from a clinical or human-based study to demonstrate the device's efficacy or safety against specific acceptance criteria. The clearance was based on technological characteristics and a declaration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information because it is not present in the given 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. 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.
