Integrated Skin Cooler 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. Any other different use is considered incorrect.

Device Story

Discovery Pico family (Discovery Pico, Plus, Derm) are medical laser systems for dermatology/aesthetic use. Systems utilize multiple laser sources (Nd:YAG 1064/532nm, Ruby 694nm) and optional IPL handpieces to deliver energy via articulated arm or Twain connector. Modes include Q-Switched (nanosecond), Opti-Pulse, Picosecond (PS), and free-running (PT). User selects parameters via GUI; laser activated by footswitch. Integrated skin cooler reduces pain/side effects. Used by dermatologists in professional settings. Output energy causes photothermal/photomechanical effects on target tissues (pigment, hair follicles, vascular lesions, soft tissue). Clinical benefit includes lesion removal, hair reduction, and skin resurfacing. VarioPulse technology allows user-selectable pulse durations in PS mode.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), usability (IEC 62366-1), software life cycle (IEC 62304), laser safety (IEC 60601-2-22, IEC 60825-1), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1).

Technological Characteristics

Laser surgical instrument; Nd:YAG (1064/532nm) and Ruby (694nm) sources. Modes: QS, OP, PS, PT. Pulse widths: 370ps-2ms. Energy: up to 2J. Fluence: up to 50J/cm2. Connectivity: GUI-based control, footswitch activation. Twain connector for IPL/2940 accessories. Integrated skin cooling. Software: firmware-based control. Sterilization: disinfection of handpieces per ISO 17664-1.

Indications for Use

Indicated for aesthetic, cosmetic, and surgical soft tissue applications (incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, coagulation) in dermatology, general, plastic, and oral surgery. Treats benign vascular/pigmented lesions, tattoos, acne, wrinkles, and unwanted hair. Patient population includes Fitzpatrick skin types I-VI depending on wavelength and mode. Contraindications: none explicitly stated beyond incorrect use of cooling system.

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 Dario Bandiera:

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 (the 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 available 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.

## General description

Discovery Pico family includes medical laser devices for dermatology and aesthetic medicine. It is used by health care professionals (dermatologists) in professional healthcare environments for the treatment of different skin conditions and hair removal.

Discovery Pico family includes the following models: Discovery Pico, Discovery Pico Plus, Discovery Pico Derm. Discovery Pico models differ for the installed laser sources and the presence of the Twain connector according to Table 1.

The device is equipped with a display with a graphical user interface (GUI) for user-device interaction (e.g. laser parameters settings).

Discovery Pico devices can be used in conjunction with Twain IPL and Twain 2940 devices. Twain 2940 is separately FDA cleared (K173002).

Laser beam is delivered through an articulated arm with handpiece connected at its end and can be activated with a footswitch. Four types of handpieces are available:

- Round (diameter): 2 to 12 mm;
- Square (side): 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 mm;
- Microbeam/fractional handpieces: 8, 9 mm. 9 mm microbeam handpiece is also called "High Coverage";
- Rosso handpiece (separately FDA cleared: K211228).

The device can be divided into four main sections:

- Power electronics: they manage power supplied to all device compartments;
- Control electronics: they mainly consist of a microcontroller board where device main firmware (FW) is resident;
- Cooling system: it cools the laser source pumping chamber and, in case of Twain IPL, IPL flashlamp;
- Optical bench.

# Twain IPL

Twain IPL accessory is an intense pulsed light (IPL) optional handpiece intended for hair reduction and treatment of several skin lesions. Twain IPL can be provided cooled or not and with fixed or changeable guides emitting at the following wavelength ranges:

- 650-1200 nm
- 625-1200 nm
- 590-1200 nm
- 570-1200 nm
- 550-1200 nm
- 400-1200 nm

Moreover, each guide is available in two different sizes: small (25x13 mm²) and large (48x13 mm²).

# VarioPulse

In PS mode, the user can select three different pulse levels corresponding to pulse durations as shown in Table 2. Such configuration where pulse duration in PS is settable by the user is optional and is identified as "VarioPulse" technology.

*Integrated Skin Cooler*
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. Any other different use is considered incorrect. | | | |

## 7 Conclusions

The proposed device uses the same applicable technology as that used in the predicate devices, and non-clinical performance testing was conducting with the criteria met. The differences in laser output specifications are considered to be adequate and do not raise new types of questions regarding safety and effectiveness for the indications for use. The proposed device is considered to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above.
