Intended Use

The Cutera Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers is intended for use in surgical and aesthetic applications in the medical specialties of dermatology and general and plastic surgery.

Device Story

Family of CoolGlide Aesthetic Lasers utilizes laser and non-laser light sources (755 nm Alexandrite, 1064 nm Nd:YAG, 532 nm Nd:YAG, and 500-1300 nm pulsed light) to perform selective photothermolysis of target chromophores. System consists of console, footswitch, and interchangeable handpieces (including integral skin cooling). Operated by clinicians in dermatology, plastic surgery, and general surgery settings. Device delivers light energy to skin or soft tissue; cooling system protects epidermis, reduces pain, and allows higher fluences. Output enables hair reduction, vascular/pigmented lesion treatment, wrinkle reduction, and surgical soft tissue management. Clinical decision-making relies on clinician visual assessment of target lesions or tissue and selection of appropriate wavelength/fluence parameters.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 safety standards, and software verification and validation.

Technological Characteristics

Flashlamp-pumped solid-state laser system. Wavelengths: 755 nm (Alexandrite), 1064 nm (Nd:YAG), 532 nm (Nd:YAG), 500-1300 nm (pulsed light). Integral skin cooling system. User interface: push-button or LCD color touchscreen. Delivery: non-sterile, reusable, cleanable handpieces. Safety standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2.

Indications for Use

Indicated for temporary and permanent hair reduction (all skin types I-VI, including tanned); treatment of benign pigmented lesions; treatment of wrinkles; photocoagulation/hemostasis of benign vascular lesions (e.g., port wine stains, hemangiomas, telangiectasias, rosacea, leg veins, poikiloderma of civatte); treatment of benign cutaneous lesions (e.g., warts, scars, striae, psoriasis, skin tags, keratoses, tattoos); treatment of pseudofolliculitis barbae; reduction of red pigmentation in hypertrophic/keloid scars; treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris; and surgical incision, excision, cutting, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in various medical specialties including endoscopy/laparoscopy, ENT, neurosurgery, and gynecology.

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.
