Intended Use

The W.O.M. Laser U100plus is intended for use in endoscopic surgical procedures to fragment stones. The W.O.M. Laser U100plus is indicated for use to fragment urinary stones (kidney, ureter and bladder) and biliary stones in the contact mode during closed surgical procedures.

Device Story

Device is an intracorporal laser lithotripter used in endoscopic/closed surgical procedures; operated by physicians. Input: electrical energy transformed into laser pulses. Operation: laser pulses transmitted via quartz fiber to stone in contact mode; pulses convert to ultrasonic/acoustic impact waves to mechanically crush stones. Output: mechanical stone fragmentation. Non-thermal process avoids critical heating of operating area, reducing tissue injury risk compared to thermal Holmium:YAG lasers. Features internal water cooling cycle with water-air heat exchanger. Clinical benefit: efficient, safe stone fragmentation without thermal tissue damage.

Clinical Evidence

In vitro, in vivo, and clinical data provided to demonstrate safety and effectiveness for fragmentation of urinary and biliary stones in closed surgical procedures. Compliance with IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and UL 2601-1 confirmed.

Technological Characteristics

Laser lithotripter; quartz fiber transmission; internal water cooling cycle with water-air heat exchanger; non-thermal acoustic wave generation. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and UL 2601-1. Operator panel displays parameters.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fragmentation of urinary (kidney, ureter, bladder) and biliary stones in contact mode during closed surgical procedures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

510(K) SUMMARY Page -2- / -3-

#### Intended Use and Indication for Use:

- The W.O.M. Laser U100plus is intended for use in endoscopic surgical ◆ procedures to fragment stones.
- The W.O.M. Laser U100plus is indicated for use to fragment urinary stones . (kidney, ureter and bladder) and biliary stones in the contact mode during closed surgical procedures.

#### Technical Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:

The W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the predicate devices are intended for use in endoscopic surgical procedures to fragment stones. All three devices are indicated for use to fragment urinary and biliary stones in the contact mode during closed surgical procedures. However, the Dornier Medilas H/2 (K984591) is also indicated for use in cutting, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue.

The W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K023041) have identical principles of operation and similar technological characteristics. Both devices use the same physical processes to generate the laser beams and method of transmission to the stone. The W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the predicate device transmit pulses of laser energy by a quartz fiber to the stone_ (contact mode). The laser pulses are transformed into an ultrasonic wave (acoustic impact waves) which mechanically crush the stone. The proposed device and the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 devices incorporate an internal water cooling cycle with a water-air heat exchanger system. In addition. both devices provide the same safety features and similar parameters are displayed on the operator panel of the devices. The differences between the two laser devices are a minor increasement of the pulse energy and pulse frequency and the option of a double pulse setting

The W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the predicate device Dornier Medilas H/2 (K984591) generate their respective laser beam through different physical processes. The predicate device Dornier Medilas H/2 is a Holmium: Y AG laser, that operates with a thermal decomposition of the stone material. Unlike the Dornier Medilas H/2. the laser effect of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus is nonthermal and does not lead to a critical heating of the operating area. This represents a substantial improvement in the safety of laser lithotripsy by avoiding the risk of tissue injury that may result from the use of an Holmimum: Y AG laser to fragment stones in the urinary tract.

#### 510(K) SUMMARY Page -3- / -3-

The differences of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus to the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K023041) are minor and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. Moreover the differences between both devices result in an improvement of the stone fragmentation efficiency. In addition, W.O.M. believes that the differences of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus and the Dornier Medilas H/2 (K984591) do not raise any concerns regarding the safety and effectiveness. Moreover, the non-thermal and non-cutting properties of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus represent a substantial improvement in the safety of laser lithotripsy.

#### Safety and Effectiveness Information:

In vitro, in vivo and clinical data has been provided to demonstrate that the W.O.M. Laser U100plus is safe and effective for the fragmentation of biliary stones in closed surgical procedures.

The device complies with the International Standard IEC 60601-1 (Electrical Safety) and IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic Compatibility). In addition, the device meets the requirements of the Underwriter Laboratories Standard UL 2601-1 and bears the CE mark in accordance with the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.

### Conclusion:

The W.O.M. Laser U100plus has the same intended use, similiar design features and identical principles of operation as the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K023041). Moreover, the W.O.M. Laser U100plus has the same intended use and indication for use as the Dornier Medilas H/2 (K984591). The differences of the W.O.M. Laser U100plus to the predicate device W.O.M. Laser U100 (K023041) are minor and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. Finally, in vitro, in vivo and clinical study results demonstrate that the W.O.M. Laser U100plus is safe and effective for the fragmentation of urinary and biliary stones in closed surgical procedures.

Accordingly, W.O.M. WORLD OF MEDICINE AG believes that the W.O.M. Laser U100plus is substantially equivalent to the W.O.M. Laser U100 (K023041) and the Dornier Medilas H/2 (K984591).
