Device Description

The Diode Frequency Doubled Green Nd:YAG Surgical Laser System is an instrument used in the application of Photothermolysis (Photocoagulation) of soft tissue using a 532 nm wavelength. The laser light is produced by diode technology. With a higher level of output power of up to 10.0 Watts on future models, additional indications for use are warranted. Indications for use are supported by a line of collimated handpieces with spot sizes of: 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1200 microns, as well as, Slit Lamps (M-140 & M-150), Slit Lamp Attachments, (M-100 & M-101), Indirect Ophthalmoscopes, and Microfilters (Fixed and Moving).

The Elite Family's primary energy output source is a Diode Pumped Nd: YAG Rod, Frequency Doubled using a KTP crystal to a visible green 532 nm laser light for the delivery to the patient and treatment. This system has various timing features for interval, and duration. The Aiming Beam is a Visible Red Diode @ 620-640 nm wavelength.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a K990174 510(k) summary for the Elite Family of Lasers. This document is a premarket notification to the FDA to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study demonstrating the device meets such criteria through performance metrics.

Instead, the document focuses on:

  • Rationale for Substantial Equivalence: Comparing the Elite Family of Lasers with existing predicate devices (Iris Medical Instruments, Inc., DioLite 532 Laser System; Continuum Biomedical Inc., CB Diode/532 Laser System; Laserscope, Aura KTP 532/Green) based on similar indications for use, design features (wavelengths, beam integrity, cooling type), control systems (interlock devices, displays), and functional features (delivery power, pulse rates, energy type, spot sizes).
  • Description of Submitted Device: Explaining the Diode Frequency Doubled Green Nd:YAG Surgical Laser System, its 532 nm wavelength, diode technology, output power, and compatible handpieces/accessories.
  • Technological Characteristics: Detailing the Elite Family's energy source (Diode Pumped Nd: YAG Rod, Frequency Doubled using a KTP crystal to 532 nm) and comparing it to the predicate devices, highlighting similarities in wavelength, power, spot sizes, and pulse durations.
  • Intended Uses: Listing a range of intended uses across Ophthalmology, Ear, Nose, & Throat (ENT), Dermatology, and Dentistry.

Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot answer the questions about acceptance criteria, device performance tables, study details (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication), MRMC studies, standalone performance, or training set information.

This type of submission (510(k)) is primarily focused on demonstrating equivalence to existing devices rather than presenting the results of clinical performance studies with specific statistical acceptance criteria. While predicate devices would have undergone testing to establish their safety and effectiveness, this document does not detail individual performance metrics or a study conducted to meet specific acceptance criteria for the Elite Family of Lasers itself, beyond the general comparison to predicates.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the:

Elite Family of Lasers Trade Name:

Diode Nd:YAG Frequency Doubled, 532 nm Common Name:

Classification Name: Laser Instrument, Surgical Powered - 79GEX

Legally Marketed Predicate Devices for Substantial Equivalence:

*Iris Medical Instruments, Inc., DioLite 532 Laser System

*Continuum Biomedical Inc .. CB Diode/532 Laser System

*Laserscope, Aura KTP 532/Green.

Rationale for SE: The Elite Family Lasers and Delivery Devices share similar indications for use, and similar design features including; wavelengths, beam integrity, and cooling type. Control systems such as interlock devices, (safety systems) and displays are constantly monitored for user intervention. Functional features such as; delivery power, pulse rates, energy type, and spot sizes are also similar to the aforementioned devices. Also see Attachment "A" Comparison Chart of Equivalence.

Description of Submitted Device:

The Diode Frequency Doubled Green Nd:YAG Surgical Laser System is an instrument used in the application of Photothermolysis (Photocoagulation) of soft tissue using a 532 nm wavelength. The laser light is produced by diode technology. With a higher level of output power of up to 10.0 Watts on future models, additional indications for use are warranted.

Intended Uses of the Elite Family Lasers:

See attachment "B" for a complete listing of indicated uses (applied for).

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:

The Elite Family's primary energy output source is a Diode Pumped Nd: YAG Rod, Frequency Doubled using a KTP crystal to a visible green 532 nm laser light for the delivery to the patient and treatment. This system has various timing features for interval, and duration. The Aiming Beam is a Visible Red Diode @ 620-640 nm wavelength.

The Continuum Biomedical. Inc., CB/Diode/532 Laser System uses infrared (808 nm) semiconductor diode laser light as the primary source of energy and is then converted to a visible wavelength of 532 nm laser light. The CB Diode/532 Laser System delivers the same wavelength, similar power, spot sizes and pulses of equivalent duration to the Elite Family.

The Laserscope, Aura Laser System uses arc lamps as the primary form of energy to optically pump a Nd: YAG Rod, the output of which is wavelength converted to visible green 532 nm laser light for the delivery to the patient and treatment. The Aura Laser System delivers the same wavelength, similar average power, pulses of equivalent duration, and treatment spots of equivalent diameter.

The Iris Medical DioLite 532 is a semiconductor-based laser system which delivers 532 nm laser light. The DioLite uses an infrared (808 nm) semiconductor diode laser light as the primary source of energy which is then converted to visible green 532 nm for delivery to the patient and treatment. The system delivers similar average power, durations and intervals. Although the beginning wavelength is different, the final treatment beam to the patient is the same.

Conclusion:

The Elite Family Diode Pumped Green Nd: Y AG Frequency Doubled Surgical Laser Systems are substantially equivalent to other existing surgical laser systems in commercial distribution.
