Indications for Use
The Discovery Pico Family is intended for use in aesthetic, cosmetic and surgical applications requiring incision, excision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of body soft tissues in the medical specialties of dermatology, general, plastic and oral surgery as follows. [Followed by specific wavelength-based indications for tattoo removal, vascular/pigmented lesion treatment, hair removal, acne treatment, and skin resurfacing]. The intended use of the integrated cooling system in the laser hand piece is to provide cooling of the skin prior to laser treatment, for the reduction of pain during laser treatment, to allow for the use of higher fluencies for laser treatments such as hair removal and benign vascular lesion, and to reduce the potential side effects of laser treatments.
Device Story
Discovery Pico Family is a multi-wavelength laser system (532nm, 1064nm, 694nm) and IPL platform used in dermatology, plastic, and general surgery. System utilizes Q-switched, picosecond, and free-running pulsed laser sources, plus optional IPL handpieces and Er:YAG connectivity. Optical delivery via articulated arm or Twain IPL handpieces. Integrated contact/air cooling system reduces pain and side effects. Operated by clinicians via touch screen and footswitch. Device transforms electrical energy into specific laser/light outputs for tissue interaction (ablation, coagulation, photothermolysis). Output allows physicians to perform aesthetic procedures like tattoo removal, skin resurfacing, and vascular lesion treatment. Benefits include precise tissue management and versatile treatment options for various skin types and conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data includes thermal-histology measurements for fractional handpieces and output verification for microbeam handpieces. Compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-22, IEC 60825-1, and IEC 60601-1-2 standards confirmed.
Technological Characteristics
Laser system with Q-switched, picosecond, and free-running pulsed sources (532nm, 1064nm, 694nm). Includes Twain IPL (400-1200nm range) and Er:YAG compatibility. Articulated arm delivery system. Integrated skin cooling. Controlled via touch screen and footswitch. Complies with IEC 60601-1, 60601-2-22, 60825-1, and 60601-1-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation. Specific indications include tattoo removal (various ink colors), benign vascular/pigmented lesion treatment, hair removal/reduction, acne vulgaris treatment, and skin resurfacing for acne scars and wrinkles. Applicable to Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI depending on wavelength and mode. Contraindications not explicitly listed, but usage is restricted by skin type and lesion type per wavelength.

| Predicate device | Discovery Pico Family (K172376), Quanta System SpA |
The modified device Discovery Pico Family is derived from the legally marketed (unmodified) device Discovery Pico Family (K172376).
#### Performance Standards:
There are no mandatory performance standards for this device.
## Description of the device (unchanged from K172376):
The Discovery Pico Family is a laser family that includes Q-Switched and/or Pulsed laser sources, emitting at one or more of the following wavelengths: 532 nm, 1064 nm, 694 nm (Ruby laser)
The Discovery Pico Family systems, through the special universal Twain connector, can be equipped with intense pulsed light handpieces (Twain IPL) emitting at the following wavelengths: 650-1200nm, 625-1200nm, 590-1200nm, 570-1200nm, 550-1200nm, 400-1200nm.
lt can also be connected to Er:YAG handpieces cleared under K173002.
The Discovery Pico Family systems, when operating with Pulsed laser sources and IPL, can be used in combination with optional contact, or air, cooling systems.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The optical delivery system is an articulated arm with fixed handpieces. The optical delivery system for the IPL system is a handpiece (Twain IPL) with fixed or interchangeable light filters at different wavelengths.
All the models belonging to the Discovery Pico Family have the same components and the same controlling software. The only difference between different models is the optical bench that depends on the sources installed.
The Discovery Pico Family is controlled via a touch screen display housed in the front of the device.
Emission is triggered by means of a footswitch.
#### Description of the modifications:
This Special 510(k) is submitted due to the adding of microbeam handpieces to the already approved fractional handpieces, as per the table below:
| Wavelength | 1064nm | | 532nm | | 694 |
|--------------------------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|
| Emission mode | Picosecond | Nanosecond | Picosecond | Nanosecond | Nanosecond |
| Homogeneous spot handpieces | Already<br>approved | Already<br>approved | Already<br>approved | Already<br>approved | Already<br>approved |

| Standard microbeam handpiece | - | new | - | new | new |
| High coverage microbeam<br>handpiece | new | new | new | new | new |
The modified device has the same intended use of the unmodified device. Moreover the intended use of the modified device, as described in its labeling, has not changed as a result of the modifications.
Based on the nature of the changes implemented, the device underwent and successfully passed electrical safety, EMC, performance testing and software verifications and validation according to the relevant standards.
