Dear Maurizio Pantaleoni:
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-reporting-

{4}------------------------------------------------
The device modification is related to the ECHOLASER X4, already cleared by the Agency with K181510.
Requested change is related to a language revision of the Intended use of ECHOLASER X4, in order to reflect the description of applications of a predicate device which was unavailable at the of the previous submission K181510. A reference predicate (K181859) is provided in support of the change in the intended use language.
No other changes have been made to the existing ECHOLASER X4 cleared by the Agency under K181510.
The technical features, the design, the performance and safety of the ECHOLASER X4 device are not affected by this device modification since they are precisely the same .
# 4. Device description
The ECHOLASER X4 is a medical device equipped with a diode laser source emitting at 1064nm wavelength in CW mode. The laser beam is transmitted via optical fibers . The operator can use 1 to 4 (or 1 to 2 in case of two channels model) fibers simultaneously, one independent from the other in both activation and power adjustment. Laser activation is controlled by footswitch.
# 5. Indications for Use
The ECHOLASER X4 laser system is indicated for use to necrotize or coagulate soft tissue through interstitial irradiation in medicine and surgery in cardiovascular thoracic surgery (excluding the heart and the vessels in the pericardial sac), dermatology, ear-nose-throat surgery, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, head and neck surgery, orthopedics, pulmonology, radiology, and urology, at a wavelength of 1064nm.
Explanation of Differences: The above indications for use language is different than the indications for use language present in the primary predicate K181510. However, the intended use of the subject and predicate devices is identical (i.e., thermal destruction of the soft tissue of interest). Moreover, the modified language is comparable to the language present in the indications for use of the reference predicate and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
# 6. Summary of Technological Similarities/Differences
The device modification is related to the language revision of the Intended use of ECHOLASER X4. No other relevant changes have been made to the existing ECHOLASER X4 cleared by the Agency under K181510.
