Indications for Use
Incision, Excision, Ablation, Vaporization of Soft Tissue for General Dermatology, Dermatologic and General Surgical Procedures for Coagulation and Hemostasis.
Device Story
RevLite Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser System is an electrically powered console delivering laser energy via an articulated arm and handpieces. The system operates at 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths, with optional dye handpieces for 585 nm and 650 nm. The physician activates laser emission using a footswitch to perform incision, excision, ablation, or vaporization of soft tissue. The device is used in clinical settings for dermatologic and general surgical procedures. By delivering controlled laser energy to target tissues, the system enables coagulation, hemostasis, and the treatment of pigmented/vascular lesions and skin resurfacing. The output allows the clinician to precisely target specific skin conditions, potentially improving patient aesthetic outcomes and reducing lesion visibility.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. The submission relies on a comparison of technological characteristics and intended use to previously cleared predicate devices. Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Q-switched Nd:YAG laser; wavelengths 1064 nm and 532 nm (expandable to 585/650 nm via dye handpieces). Pulse duration 7-20 ns; max energy 1.6 J; fluence 1-8 J/cm2. Spot sizes 2-8.5 mm. Electrically powered (230 V, 50/60 Hz). Articulated arm delivery system. No software algorithm details provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for tattoo removal (dark/light ink), dermal/epidermal pigmented lesions (e.g., Nevus of Ota, lentigines, melasma, cafe-au-lait, freckles, seborrheic keratosis), hair removal/lightening, skin resurfacing (acne scars/wrinkles), vascular lesions (e.g., port wine birthmarks, telangiectasias, angiomas), and reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic/keloid scars. Used for patients requiring dermatologic or general surgical procedures involving soft tissue.
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.

- Reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic and keloid scars where vascularity is an integral . part of the scar (excludes the 650nm wavelength)
The RevLite Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser System (K103118) is currently indicated for the treatment of Dermal Pigmented lesions (1064 nm wavelength) and Epidermal Pigmentation lesions (532 nm wavelength). Both dermal and cpidermal pigmented lesions are types of benign pigmented lesions. Cynosure is seeking to clarify the indications for use statement for RevLite Q Switched laser to include examples of other pigmented lesions. There have been no changes to the device and the submission is only related to clarification of pigmented lesions.
## G. Technological Characteristics
The laser systems have the same technological characteristics. All of the devices are Q-switched Nd: Y AG lasers operating at wavelengths of 1064 nm and 532 nm. Additionally, dye handpieces are available that convert the 532 nm wavelength beam into 585 nm or 650 nm wavelengths. The RevLite Q Switched Laser System has the exact same technological characteristics as the previously cleared RevLite Q Switched Laser System (K 103118). The clarified RevLite Indications for Use statement has the same example of benign cutaneous lesions, vascular lesions and epidermal pigmented treated as the RevLite, Spectra and Palomar predicates.

Dear Mrs. Yusuf:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
