Intended Use

The Ceralas D 980 is intended for delivery of laser light to soft tissue in the contact or non-contact mode during surgical procedures, including via endoscopes, introducers, or catheters. The Ceralas D 980 is generally indicated for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, or coagulation of soft tissue in ear, nose and throat and oral surgery (otolaryngology), dental procedures, arthroscopy, gastroenterology, general surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery, podiatry, urology, gynecology, neurosurgery (peripheral nervous system), pulmonary surgery, and cardiothoracic surgery. This Ceralas D 980 is specifically indicated for hemostasis and coagulation of soft tissue (including cardiac tissue).

Device Story

The Ceralas D 980 is a 980 nm diode laser system used for surgical soft tissue applications. It delivers laser energy to tissue via contact or non-contact modes, often through endoscopes, introducers, or catheters. Operated by physicians in clinical or surgical settings, the device provides precise thermal effects—incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, or coagulation—to target tissues. By enabling controlled thermal interaction, the laser assists surgeons in managing bleeding and removing or modifying soft tissue across various specialties, including cardiac surgery. The output is controlled by the clinician to achieve the desired surgical outcome, directly impacting procedural efficiency and patient tissue management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

980 nm diode laser system. Operates in contact or non-contact modes. Complies with IEC 601-1, IEC 601-2-22, and EN 60825-1 standards. Designed for use with endoscopes, introducers, or catheters. Class II device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, or coagulation of soft tissue in ENT, oral, dental, arthroscopic, gastrointestinal, general, dermatological, plastic, podiatric, urological, gynecological, neurosurgical (peripheral), pulmonary, and cardiothoracic surgical procedures. Specifically indicated for hemostasis and coagulation of cardiac tissue.

Regulatory Classification

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.

#### Performance Data

The device complies with the following voluntary consensus standards: 21 C.F.R. The device complies will and themes in IEC 601-1; IEC 601-2-22; and EN 60825-1.

# Substantial Equivalence

The Ceralas D 980 has the same intended use and the exact same technological characteristics as the previously cleared Ceralas D 980, with the exception of a enturation to the handpiece for hemostasis and coagulation of cardiac tissue. In addition, all of the Ceralas D 980's general and specific indications for use are cleared indications of at least one of its predicate devices. The Ceralas D asc are around and armanderical characteristics as the CardioFocus, Inc.'s Diode Laser System, which is also a 980 nm diode laser. Thus, the Ceralas D 980 is substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Kahan:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 19, 2004.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
