Device Story

OBERON Laser Surgery Fiber is a fiber optic delivery system for laser light; transmits energy from cleared surgical lasers to soft tissue. Input: laser energy from external source (Argon, KTP, Ho:YAG, Nd:YAG, Diode). Output: laser light delivered to target tissue via contact or non-contact modes. Used in clinical settings (OR, endoscopy, cystoscopy) by physicians. Device features various distal tip configurations (flat, shaped, ball, round, side fire, radial) to facilitate specific surgical tasks like incision, ablation, or lithotripsy. Benefits include precise tissue interaction and versatility across multiple surgical specialties. No active electronic components; passive delivery system.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only; performance is established by comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Passive fiber optic delivery system; silica glass core and cladding; protective sheath. Distal tips: flat, shaped, ball, round, side fire, radial. Connectors: SMA 905. Core diameters: 200-600 microns. Compatible with lasers 532nm-2100nm, 1-100W power. Sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue surgery (incision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, coagulation, dissection, resection) or lithotripsy. Applicable across general surgery, urology, gastroenterology, gynecology, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and ENT. Includes endovenous occlusion for superficial vein reflux and laser-assisted lipolysis. Used with compatible lasers (532nm-2100nm) in contact or non-contact modes.

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.

The fiber core and cladding or fibers with no cladding are made from silica which is the same material used in all the predicate devices. As mentioned, the optical fiber is made out of silica with a coaxially mounted protective sheath. The fiber distal tip can be several configurations and the fiber can be also used with hand pieces. OBERON's laser surgery fiber has no differences in technology and as such does not raise any new questions on safety or efficacy. Various core diameter sizes (200, 272, 365, 400, 550, 600microns) are offered. # Performance Data The performance of the OBERON's laser surgery fiber is well established and documented so no performance testing is included. The OBERON's laser surgery fiber delivery system operates in the same manner as the predicate devices and performs with no difference as compared with the predicate devices. # Substantial Equivalence The OBERON's laser surgery fibers are as safe and effective for the indications for use as the Laser Peripherals, Leoni, Lumenis, MED-Fibers, Cynosure, Fiberoptic Fabrications and CermaOptec fiber optic laser delivery systems previously cleared thus the OBERON's laser surgery fibers are substantially equivalent. | Signed: | | |------------------------|--| | Dr. Armin Kaus, Ph.D. | | | Official Correspondent | |
