Intended Use

The PicoSure™ workstation is indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesions removal.

Device Story

PicoSure™ is a high-powered, flashlamp-excited Q-switched alexandrite laser system (755-nm wavelength). It delivers laser energy to tattoo dye or pigment particles under the skin; the combination of wavelength, pulse duration (450ps–900ps), and energy fluence disrupts particles without harming surrounding tissue. Fragmented particles surface and fade as the epidermis renews. Used in clinical settings by trained professionals for tattoo and benign pigmented lesion removal. Output is controlled laser energy; healthcare providers use the device to achieve tattoo clearance. Benefits include effective pigment removal with a safety profile comparable to existing laser systems.

Clinical Evidence

Three clinical studies (two controlled, one uncontrolled) evaluated tattoo removal efficacy and safety. Sample size and specific metrics were not detailed, but effectiveness was measured via before-and-after photo evaluation and percentage of tattoo clearance. Results showed high levels of clearance and physician satisfaction, with the device demonstrating a higher percentage of clearance than the control device in controlled studies. Safety was assessed through incidence and severity of adverse events; no serious or unexpected events occurred. Common reactions included mild pain and blistering. All treatment arms showed comparable safety profiles.

Technological Characteristics

Flashlamp-excited Q-switched alexandrite laser; 755nm wavelength; pulse width 450ps-900ps; energy per pulse 0.2 J/cm2; max average fluence 6.37 J/cm2; spot sizes 2-10mm. Conforms to 21 CFR 1040 (Laser Performance Standard). System includes hardware and software components for laser control.

Indications for Use

Indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesions removal in patients requiring laser-based dermatological treatment.

Same as its predicates, the PicoSure™ workstation is intended for tattoos and benign pigmented lesions removal. The combination of wavelength, pulse duration and energy fluence are disrupting the tattoo dye or pigment particles under the skin without harming the surrounding tissue. The fragmented dye or pigment particles eventually surface and fade as the epidermal layer of the skin is renewed. ### Intended Use / Indications for Use: The PicoSure™ workstation is indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesions removal. ### Technological Characteristics: The PicoSure™ workstation contains equivalent basic technology, components and patient-contact materials as the FDA cleared Cynosure Accolade/Accolade II laser (K992814 and K072868). The fundamental scientific technology of the PicoSure™ workstation is substantially equivalent to the FDA cleared Cynosure Accolade/Accolade II laser (K992814 and K072868). #### Performance Standards: This device conforms to the Laser Performance Standard (21 CFR 1040). No additional performance standards have been promulgated under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for these devices. {5}------------------------------------------------ ## Performance Data: Non-clinical testing Performance (bench and animal) testing summaries are included in this submission. Bench testing included: - . Design verification which includes software and hardware verification - Design validation which includes software and hardware validation . - . Production verification which includes in-process inspection and test Animal data has been used to establish the device safety. A study examined the effect of the PicoSure™ workstation in an animal model (porcine study). ## Performance Data: Clinical testing Three clinical studies (two controlled and one uncontrolled) were presented in the submission to confirm safety and effectiveness of the device in the tattoo removal. Number of treatments varied in the studies from 4 to 10 sessions. The device effectiveness in removal tattoos was assessed by the evaluation before-and-after photos and calculation the % of tattoo clearance at the end of study for each treatment area. Subject and physician satisfaction with the treatment results was also surveyed and analyzed. The device safety was evaluated by the incidence, timing, severity of treatment-emergent adverse events were categorized and summarized. The device was found to be safe and effective, with high level of overall tattoo clearance and "extreme," physician satisfaction (physician evaluation) and, additionally, demonstrated more significant % of highest clearance score than control device in controlled studies. Treatment-emergent adverse events were recorded and evaluated in all studies. All treatment arms had a comparable safety profile. None of the events were classified as adverse device reaction. No serious or unexpected adverse events were reported. The majority of reported adverse events across the studies were of mild severity; no severe adverse events were reported in any group. The most common reactions were pain and blistering. {6}------------------------------------------------ ## Substantial Equivalence: The Cynosure PicoSure™ workstation is as safe and effective as its predicate devices currently cleared for the same indications. The Cynosure PicoSure™ workstation is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s) as shown in the table below and does not does not raise any additional questions of safety and effectiveness.
