The Laser is indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following medical specialties: Arthroscopy, Urology, Lithotripsy, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, ENT, General Surgery.

Device Story

Device is a reusable laser fiber accessory for Dornier Medilas H Holmium Laser; transmits laser energy to target tissue. Input: laser energy from Holmium laser source. Output: delivered laser energy for cutting, vaporization, ablation, or coagulation of soft tissue. Used in OR or clinical settings by physicians (surgeons/specialists) during endoscopic or open procedures. Modification from predicate involves addition of reprocessing instructions to enable reuse. Benefits patient by allowing repeated use of fiber in surgical procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing and validation of reprocessing instructions.

Technological Characteristics

Silica-glass fiber; plastic SMA 905 connector; natural quartz ferrule; heat shrink tubing; SMA connector strain relief boot. Length: 3 meters. Core diameters: 272, 365, 550, 940 microns. Energy transmission via Holmium laser. Reusable design.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue cutting, vaporization, ablation, or coagulation during endoscopic or open surgical procedures across specialties including arthroscopy, urology, lithotripsy, pulmonology, gastroenterology, gynecology, ENT, and general surgery.

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.

#### Common or Usual Name

Holmium Laser Fibers

#### Classification Name

Laser Instrument, (Accessory); Product Code: GEX

#### Predicate Devices

Dornier Medilas H RFID Laser Fiber (K121938) Dornier Medilas H Laser Fiber Cables (K022544)

#### Purpose of the Special 510(k) Notice

The Medilas H RFID Reusable Laser Fiber is a modification to Dornier's currently cleared Dornier Medilas H RFID Laser Fibers (K121938) Specifically, the only minor modification to the cleared Medilas H RFID Laser Fibers includes the addition of reprocessing instructions in order for the user to be able to reprocess the Laser Fibers.

#### Intended Use

Dornier's Medilas H RFID Reusable Laser Fibers are intended to be used as an accessory for the Dornier Medilas H Holmium Laser ("Laser"). This laser is intended for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in conjunction with endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, cystoscopes, and colonoscopes), or for open surgery for contact or non-contact surgery with or without a handpiece for use in incision/excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of

soft tissue. The Laser is indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following medical DEC & 50 specialties:

- Arthroscopy, .
- Urology, .
- Lithotripsy, .
- Pulmonology, .
- Gastroenterology, .
- Gynecology, .
- ENT, .
- General Surgery. .

## Technological Characteristics / Principles of Operation

The basic technological characteristics of the subject device are:

- Use of a Silica-glass Fiber to transmit the laser energy; .
- Use of a plastic SMA 905 connector for connection to the laser; .
- t Other materials used in the manufacturing of the product: Natural Quartz Ferrule; Heat Shrink tubing; and SMA connector strain relief boot;
- . All fibers are 3 meters (nominal) in length;
- The fibers are sold in core diameter sizes of 272, 365, 550 and 940 microns. .

The basic principal of operation of the Laser Fibers is to transmit laser energy when connected to a Holmium Laser. The Laser Fibers that are the subject of this submission are identical to the predicate fibers (K121938) with the exception of being able to be reused.

## Substantial Equivalence

Dornier's Medilas H RFID Laser Fibers has the same intended use / indications, technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate devices. The minor differences in the technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that the Dornier Medilas H RFID Reusable Laser Fibers are as safe and effective as the listed predicates. Thus, the Dornier Medilas H RFID Reusable Laser Fibers are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
