Dear Francesco Dell'antonio:
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, 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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);
{1}------------------------------------------------
and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
For comprehensive regulatory information about medical devices and radiation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.

Performance data:
{6}------------------------------------------------
The following performance data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination, for the Er:YAG handpiece used in conjunction with the devices it is intended to be used with.
### Safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the Quanta Forte device.
The system complies with the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-22 standards for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.
### Software Verification and Validation Testing
The Er:YAG handpiece does not contain any software, as it is controlled by the software of the devices it is used in conjunction with (already FDA cleared). Those software were not modified due to the use with the microbeam Er:YAG handpiece.
They successfully underwent verification and validation testing and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
Histological performance data are provided to demonstrate substantially equivalent skin resurfacing effects to its predicate devices with a microlens array.
### Biocompatibility:
The biocompatibility of the Er:YAG handpiece is established based on the predicate devices.
# Conclusion:
The subject device is comparable to its primary predicate and the additional predicate devices as it has similar intended use and core fundamental technology as show in the SE table above.
Therefore, Er:YAG handpiece is substantially equivalent to its identified predicate devices.
