Intended Use
The Laserscope Gemini™ Laser System & Accessories is indicated for: KTP/532 Applications: Dermatology: To treat moderate inflammatory Acne vulgaris. ND:YAG/1064 Applications: Dermatology: For use in the Dermatological Applications for the treatment of facial wrinkles. It is also intended to effect stable long-term, or permanent hair reduction in skin types I - VI through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles. Permanent hair reduction is defined as a long-term, stable, reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regimen.
Device Story
The Gemini Surgical Laser System is a powered laser instrument used in dermatology. It utilizes two laser wavelengths: KTP/532 for treating moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris and Nd:YAG/1064 for facial wrinkle treatment and permanent hair reduction in skin types I-VI. The system consists of an optical/laser resonator, electronics, operator interface, cooling subsystem, and various delivery devices/accessories. It operates by selectively targeting melanin in hair follicles for hair reduction. The device is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. The physician operates the system to deliver laser energy to the target tissue, affecting clinical decision-making by providing a non-invasive therapeutic option for dermatological conditions. The system conforms to 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 performance standards.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, functional features, and indications for use compared to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Powered laser surgical instrument. Dual-wavelength output: KTP/532 and Nd:YAG/1064. Includes optical/laser resonator, electronics, operator interface, and cooling subsystem. Conforms to 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 performance standards for medical laser systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris (KTP/532) and patients seeking treatment for facial wrinkles or permanent hair reduction in skin types I-VI (Nd:YAG/1064).
Regulatory Classification
