Pharos Optics, Inc. offers a dental laser system known as the FutureLase zooo/goo2 Erbiurm Laser System. The device utilizes laser radiation energy produced at a frequency of 2.94น. This laser system is intended for intraoral or dental soft tissue surgery including the marginal and interdental gingiva. The FutureLase zooo/zoo2 Erbium Laser System is used to assist the dentist or oral surgeon with the following general intended use and/or specific indications for use:

The provided text does not contain information about the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them in the context of performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy. This document, a 510(k) premarket notification for the FutureLase 3000/3002 Erbium Laser System, is focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices.

The information primarily discusses:

• Device Name and Classification: FutureLase 3000/3002 Erbium Laser System, Class II, Product Code 79GEX.
• Intended Use and Specific Indications for Use: For oral/dental procedures involving incision, ablation, vaporization, and hemostasis of soft tissue, including gingivoplasties, gingivectomies, frenectomies, benign/malignant lesion removal, biopsies, leukoplakia, and fibrotomy.
• Device Description: Details on the laser head, power supply, cooling system, control system, control panel, and beam delivery.
• Substantial Equivalence: A comparison table showing that the FutureLase 3000/3002 has similar technical specifications (Laser Type, Wavelength, Pulse Rate, Pulse Duration, Max Pulse Energy, Power, Beam Delivery, Fiber Material, Electrical Requirements, and Indications) to predicate devices (TriLase 2940 Erbium Laser System, MedLite Erbium Laser System, and PulseMaster™ Dental Laser System).

Missing Information:

The document does not include:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance related to specific clinical outcomes or statistical metrics.
2. Sample sizes for test sets, their provenance, or whether the study was retrospective or prospective.
3. The number or qualifications of experts used to establish ground truth.
4. Adjudication methods.
5. Results of Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness studies or the effect size of AI assistance.
6. Results of standalone (algorithm-only) performance studies.
7. The type of ground truth used (e.g., pathology, outcomes data).
8. Sample size for the training set.
9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

This is typical for a 510(k) submission, where the primary objective is to demonstrate that a new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, rather than to prove absolute safety and effectiveness through extensive clinical trials with specific performance endpoints. The equivalence is primarily established through technical characteristics and similar intended use.
