Intended Use

The PicoSure™ workstation is indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesion removal. The PicoSure™ workstation operating with the 3mm or 6mm handpiee and the FOCUS lens array is indicated for the treatment of acne scars in Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.

Device Story

PicoSure™ workstation is a high-powered, Q-switched Alexandrite laser system (755-nm wavelength). System comprises console (power supply, control electronics, laser) and articulated arm for energy delivery; activated via footswitch. Used in clinical settings by trained professionals for tattoo removal, benign pigmented lesion removal, and acne scar treatment. FOCUS lens array attachment modifies beam delivery for scar treatment. Laser energy interacts with skin tissue to induce therapeutic effects, such as epidermal vacuolization and dermal remodeling, aiding in scar reduction and pigment clearance. Clinical benefits include improved appearance of acne scars and removal of tattoos/pigmented lesions.

Clinical Evidence

Two clinical studies conducted. Study 1: 17 patients (46 acne scars) treated with FOCUS lens array (mean 6.3 sessions). 70% correct identification of before/after photos by blinded evaluators; mean improvement score 1.9 (scale 0-3); 87% patient satisfaction. Study 2: Histological evaluation on 3 subjects (arm/leg). Biopsies at 0, 7, 15 days post-treatment showed immediate focal epidermal vacuolization and degenerated keratinocytes, followed by intact epidermis and mild superficial dermal lymphocytic infiltrates at days 7 and 15.

Technological Characteristics

Flashlamp-excited Q-switched Alexandrite laser; 755nm wavelength; 450ps-900ps pulse width; 0.2 J/cm2 energy per pulse; 6.37 J/cm2 max average fluence. Delivery via articulated arm with zoom (2-6mm) or fixed (2-10mm) handpieces and FOCUS lens array. Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. Software verification and validation performed.

Indications for Use

Indicated for tattoo and benign pigmented lesion removal; treatment of acne scars in Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV.

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.

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.

In 17 patients who completed the study, a total of 46 acne scars underwent a mean of 6.3 treatments with either the 3mm or 6mm handpiece, each operated with the FOCUS lens array. Before and after photographs were evaluated by three blinded evaluators, who were able to identify correctly the before and after images in 70% of the 17 subjects. The mean improvement score (scale 0-3) was 1.9. The non-blinded treating physician reported a 100% overall satisfaction rate, scoring the improvement in 47% of subjects as "satisfied" and 53% as "extremely satisfied." Subjects reported a satisfaction rate of 87% (53% "satisfied" and 27% "extremely satisfied"). A second study was conducted on normal skin on the arm of 2 subjects and the leg of a 3rd subject to evaluate the tissue response to treatment of the FOCUS lens array. Three patients were treated with the 6mm lens with FOCUS array at 0.71J/cm2 and with the 3mm lens with FOCUS array at 2.83J/cm2. Biopsies were performed in untreated skin and in treated skin immediately post treatment, 7 days post treatment and 15 days post treatment. Treatment induced immediate focal epidermal vacuolization and small foci of degenerated keratinocytes. At days 7 and 15, skin exhibited intact epidermis with mild, superficial dermal lymphocytic infiltrates in peri-vascular pattern. | Technical Comparison: | Specifications | | | |----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | PicoSure™ Workstation (current submission) | PicoSure™ Workstation (previously cleared) | RevLite | | Laser Type | Flashlamp excited Q- switched alexandrite | Flashlamp excited Q- switched alexandrite | Flashlamp excited Q- switched Nd:YAG | | Wavelength | 755nm | 755nm | 532 nm, 585 nm 650 nm, & 1064 nm | | Energy per pulse | 0.2 J/cm2 | 0.2 J/cm2 | 0.85 J/cm2 | | Maximum Average Fluence | 6.37 J/cm² | 6.37 J/cm² | 12 J/cm² (1064nm) 5 J/cm² (532nm) 10 J/cm² (585nm) 6 J/cm² (650 nm) 1.2 J/cm² (532Lite) | | Repetition Rate | Single pulse, or 1, 2.5, 5, or 10 pulse(s) per second (Hz) | Single pulse, or 1,2,5, or 10 pulse(s) per second (Hz) | Single & double pulse, 1, 2, 5, & 10 Hz pulses per second | | Pulse Width | 450ps-900ps | 450ps-900ps | 5-20 ns | | Spot Sizes | Zoom 2-6 mm, Fixed 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 mm With FOCUS lens array: 3mm 6mm | Zoom 2-6 mm, Fixed 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 mm | Fixed 2 - 8 mm (varies by wavelength) | {4}------------------------------------------------ Conclusion: The PicoSure Workstation is substantially equivalent to other existing laser systems in commercial distribution for use in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery. . {5}------------------------------------------------ concerning the organization and content of a 510(K) summary. | Applicant: | Cynosure, Inc. | | |----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--| | Address: | 5 Carlisle Road Westford, MA 01886 USA | | | Contact Person: | Connie Hoy, SVP of Regulatory Affairs | | | Telephone: Email: | 1-781-993-2414 choy@cynosure, com | | | Preparation Date: | April 4, 2016 | | | Device Trade Name: | PicoSure™ workstation | | | Common Name: | Laser | | | Classification Name: | Instrument, Surgical, Powered, laser 79-GEX, 21 CFR 878-48 | | | Legally Marketed Device(s): | Predicate PicoSure™ workstation (K)121346 Hoya ConBio RevLite (K)103118 | | | Description of the PicoSure™ Workstation: | The PicoSure™ workstation is a high-powered, Q-switched Alexandrite system that delivers laser energy in the 755-nm wavelength.
