• Device Name: PALOMAR LUX1064 HANDPIECE
• Applicant: Palomar Medical Technologies, Inc.
• Product Code: GEX · General, Plastic Surgery
• Decision Date: Jan 13, 2005

Intended Use

The Lux1064™ is a light-based medical device designed for effective removal of unwanted hair, permanent hair reduction, PFB, treatment of wrinkles and the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions.

Device Story

The Lux1064™ Nd:YAG handpiece is an attachment for the Palomar StarLux™ Pulsed Light System. It delivers light-based energy to target skin and soft tissue. Used by clinicians in medical settings, the device treats vascular and pigmented lesions, removes hair, reduces scars, and performs soft tissue coagulation/hemostasis. The clinician operates the handpiece to apply energy to the patient's skin; the system's light output interacts with target chromophores or tissues to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. The device provides a non-invasive or minimally invasive option for dermatological and surgical conditions, potentially benefiting patients by reducing lesion size, improving skin appearance, or managing hair growth and scarring.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and performance comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Nd:YAG laser handpiece attachment for the StarLux™ base unit. Operates as a light-based surgical instrument (21 CFR 878.4810). Designed for dermatological and general/plastic surgery applications. Energy source is laser-based. System is a modular handpiece-and-base-unit configuration.

Indications for Use

Indicated for removal of unwanted hair (skin types I-VI) and permanent hair reduction; treatment of benign pigmented lesions (e.g., age spots, sun spots, seborrheic keratoses, nevi, chloasma, café-au-lait macules, plaques, verrucae, skin tags); tattoo reduction (black/blue-black); treatment of vascular lesions (e.g., port wine stains, hemangiomas, telangiectasias, rosacea, venous lake, facial/leg veins); reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic/keloid scars; coagulation and hemostasis of soft tissue; treatment of wrinkles; and Pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Performance Data:

Conclusion:

The differences in the specifications of the Lux1064™ and the predicate devices do not result in different performance or raise new questions of safety or efficacy.

Based on the foregoing, the Lux1064™ System is substantially equivalent to the legally-marketed claimed predicate devices, i.e., the Lumenis IPL/NdYAG, Candela GentleYAG, and Laserscope Lyra series.
