Intended Use
The SCAR 3 scanner, when used with DEKA Smartxide family lasers (K180193), is indicated for ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in dermatology and plastic surgery. The SCAR 3 scanner, when used with DEKA Smartxide family lasers (K180193), is indicated for use in the performance of specific applications in dermatology and plastic surgery as follows: -The ablation, vaporization, excision, and coagulation of soft tissue in the performance of laser burn debridement -Laser skin resurfacing (ablation and/or vaporization) for treatment of: · Wrinkles, rhytids, and furrows (including fine lines and texture irregularities) -Laser skin resurfacing (ablation and/or vaporization) of soft tissue for the reduction, removal, and/or treatment of: - Acne scars - · Surgical scars
Device Story
SCAR 3 is an optional scanning unit accessory for DEKA Smartxide family CO2 lasers (10600 nm). It consists of a scanning head and cable. The device directs laser energy to soft tissue to perform ablation, vaporization, excision, and coagulation. Parameters are selected via the host laser's GUI; scanning area shape and size are controlled via keys on the scanning head. Used in clinical settings by physicians for dermatology and plastic surgery procedures. The scanner enables precise laser delivery for skin resurfacing and scar treatment, potentially improving patient outcomes through controlled tissue removal.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including compliance with AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-22, and IEC 60825-1 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Medical laser scanning unit accessory for CO2 lasers. Wavelength: 10600 nm. Pulse energy: 2.5-150 mJ. Spot size: 0.12 mm. Scanning area: max 10x10 mm. Frequency: 150-450 Hz. Pulse duration: 0.1-2.5 ms. Connectivity: connects to DEKA Smartxide family lasers. Complies with IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-22, and 60825-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for soft tissue ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation in dermatology and plastic surgery, including laser burn debridement and skin resurfacing for wrinkles, rhytids, furrows, acne scars, and surgical scars.
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.

Dear Paolo Peruzzi:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see
https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; 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 https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
