#### IV. Device Description
The New Star Model NS3000 is a compact, portable, self-contained system that produces a beam of infrared radiation at 2,100 nm wavelength for treatment, and a visible laser diode beam at 532 nm for aiming. The system emits a pulsed laser beam which is delivered to the treatment site using a fiber-optic delivery system. The system consists of a laser console, a fiber-optic delivery system, and a footswitch.
The system provides safety features that are designed to protect the user and patient from high voltages and laser emissions.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The console consists of a control panel, a laser head assembly, a power supply, and a cooling system. It also contains an ON/OFF key switch, Emergency Off switch, External Power Meter connector, Fiber-Optic receptacle, Interlock Jumper plug/receptacle, and a footswitch receptacle. The fiber-optic delivery system includes a linear flash lamp pumped holmium laser cavity and resonator, a 3 milliwatt laser diode, two optical detector assemblies, lenses and cables. The footswitch is used to initiate delivery of laser energy according to preset parameters.
- V. Summary of Non Clinical Tests
New Star utilized IEC 60601-1-2: EN 61000-3-3 test standards to establish a basis for the determination of equivalence. The NS3000 Holmium Laser System performance characteristics were established by referencing the known performance characteristics of the predicate device. Specifications for the NS2500 Laser System were established to assure that the predicate system and the NS3000 Laser System performed in an equivalent manner. Performance specifications were set utilizing national and international standards for such devices with respect to output, indications for use, safety features and electromagnetic interference where it was established as suitable for the environment of use. All testing was conducted and established that the NS3000 Holmium Laser System met or exceeded its design specifications and performed equally or better than the stated performance of the predicate.
Conclusions drawn from these non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective and performs at least as safely and as effectively as the legally marketed device identified in this Summary.
- VI. Indications for Use
The NS3000 laser system is intended for use in surgical procedures using open, laparoscopic and endoscopic incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation and hemostasis of soft tissue in use in medical specialties including: Urology, Urinary Lithotripsy, and General Surgery.
Urology: Open and endoscopic surgery (incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation and hemostasis) including: urethral strictures, bladder neck incisions (BNI), ablation and resection of bladder tumors, uretheral tumors and ureteral tumors, condylomas, and lesions of external genitalia.
Lithotripsy and Percutaneous Urinary Lithotripsy: Endoscopic fragmentation of urethral, ureteral, bladder and renal calculi, endoscopic fragmentation of kidney calculi, and treatment of distal impacted fragments of steinstrasse when guide wire cannot be passed.

- VII. Summary of Technological Characteristics
### VIII. Rationale for Substantial Equivalence
The NS3000 Holmium Laser System shares the same indications for use, device operation, overall technical and functional capabilities, and therefore is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K132607, and its predicate K033437). The minor modifications to the predicate device do not represent substantive changes to the technical, functional or operational capabilities.
#### IX. Safety and Effectiveness Information
The review of the indications for use and technical characteristics demonstrates that the NS3000 Laser System is substantially equivalent to the
{6}------------------------------------------------
predicate device. The modifications to the NS2500 are minor and no new safety or effectiveness questions are applicable.
- X. Conclusion
The NS3000 Laser System was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The NS3000 Laser System shares the same indications for use, similar design features, and functional features with, and thus is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
