## Description:
The Candela Family of Pulse Dye Laser Systems are flash-lamp excited pulsed dye medical lasers, controlled by an embedded microprocessor., to be used for the following uses in: General Surgery: Photocoagulation of benign cutaneous vascular lesion and benign cutaneous lesions. For treatment of benign cutaneous vascular lesion, such as facial and leg Dermatology/Plastic Surgery: telangiectasia, rosacea, port wine stains, hemangiomas, angioma, Poikiloderma of Civatte, and benign cutaneous lesions, such as warts, scars, striae and psoriasis. and the treatment of wrinkles. Treatment of Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris
Gynecology: Photocoagulation of benign cutaneous lesion and benign vascular lesion in gynecology. Podiatry: Treatment of benign cutaneous lesions, such as warts.
## New Indication: Treatment of Benign Epidermal Pigmented Lesions
The Lasers may be used with the Candela Dynamic Cooling Device, which provides a short burst of cryogen spray prior to firing the laser pulse. The laser output energy is delivered via an optical fiber to a hand piece. The cryogen, which is housed within the laser enclosure, is delivered via a hose to a nozzle located in the hand piece . The Candela Family of Pulsed Dye Laser Systems are equipped with safety interlock systems to protect patients and operators. Users of the device make selections from an onboard control panel to regulate operation during treatment.
## Testing:
As a laser product, the Family of Pulsed Dye Laser Systems are required to conform and do conform to the Laser Performance Standard (21 CFR 1040). In addition the lasers conform to the Harmonized Standard EN 60601 1-2, Part 2 established by and required by the European Community.
#### Summary of Substantial Equivalence:
The Candela Family of Pulsed Dye Laser Systems is equivalent in key design aspects, functional features and indications for use as the predicate devices for the treatment of epidermal pigmented lesions.
On the basis of similarities in functional features, method of operation, and intended uses, Candela Corporation believes that the Candela Family of Pulsed Dye Laser Systems are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
