Intended Use
Dermatological procedures requiring ablation, coagulation and resurfacing of soft tissue, including skin.
Device Story
eMatrix CO2 is a fractional CO2 laser system for dermatological ablation, coagulation, and skin resurfacing. System comprises a console housing laser module, power supply, and scanner; laser energy is delivered to tissue via an articulated arm with integrated lenses. Operated by clinicians in a medical setting, the system is controlled via an LCD touchscreen and proprietary software. The device creates a fractional phenotype by delivering energy in a pattern that leaves intact, non-affected tissue between treated spots. By adjusting energy levels, the clinician modulates the depth and width of ablation and coagulation zones, allowing for targeted tissue modification. This fractional approach facilitates skin resurfacing while maintaining islands of healthy tissue to promote healing.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validation involved evaluation of skin biopsies following treatment with the eMatrix CO2. Results demonstrated morphological changes consistent with fractional resurfacing, specifically demarcated zones of ablation and coagulation. The study confirmed that energy level adjustments correlate with the depth and width of affected tissue zones, maintaining a uniform fractional phenotype with intact tissue between treated spots.
Technological Characteristics
Fractional CO2 laser system. Components include laser module, power supply, scanner, and articulated arm with integrated lens delivery. System is controlled via LCD touchscreen and proprietary software. Operates as a powered laser surgical instrument (Class II, GEX).
Indications for Use
Indicated for dermatological procedures requiring ablation, coagulation, and resurfacing of soft tissue, including skin.
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.

Device description:
The eMatrix CO2 is a Fractional CO2 laser device intended for dermatological procedures requiring ablation, coagulation and resurfacing of soft tissue including skin. The device console houses the major units of the system that include the laser module, the power supply, the scanner and all other electrical components. Laser is transmitted to the tissue via a series of lens integrated into the articulated arm. The system parameters are controlled via a LCD touchscreen and proprietary SW.
Indication for Use Dermatological procedures requiring ablation, coagulation and Statement: resurfacing of soft tissue, including skin.
Performance Evaluation of skin biopsies revealed morphological changes, which validation: were created under the impact of the eMatrix CO2 of skin resurfacing, as expressed via demarcated zones of ablation and coagulation. The different treatment modes led to a different impact in depth and width of the tissue. The affected zones tended to become deeper as the level of energy employed was increased .The affected zone were of uniform fractional phenotype, leaving intact, non-affected tissue between treated spots.
Conclusion: . We have demonstrated that the eMatrix CO2 meets its labeled performance claims, and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices
