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. U.S. Food & Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20993 www.fda.gov {1} K250776 - Diane Horwitz Page 2 Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download). Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181). 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 (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050. All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

PREDICATE DEVICE The predicate device is the Laser Peripherals Family of Laser Fibers, K170366, Laser Peripherals LLC. {5} DAWELL™ MEDICAL K250776 # 4. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE The LithoBlast Single-Use Holmium Laser Fibers are single use surgical fiberoptic laser delivery devices that transmit laser energy in a forward direction. The devices include a SMA 905 connector at the proximal end. The laser fibers are compatible with Ho:YAG laser systems. There are four (4) fiber core diameters: 272 Series (272 µm), 365 Series (365 µm), 550 Series (550 µm), and 940 Series (940 µm). The laser fibers in the LithoBlast family are 300cm long. All have a 10 mm straight cut flat cleaved distal end. All include a stress booth and an ABS over nut extension sleeve (type A=straight and narrow; type B=indented with finger grips; type C=finger grips protrude) to enable the operator's firm grip. The SMA-905 connector attaches at the proximal end of the device. # 5. INTENDED USE The intended use / indications for use for the LithoBlast Single-Use Holmium Laser Fibers is as follows: The LithoBlast Single-Use Holmium Laser Fiber is indicated for use in surgical specialties in which a compatible Ho:YAG laser system has received regulatory clearance. LithoBlast surgical fiber optic laser delivery devices are intended for use with any open source cleared surgical laser with an SMA 905 connector. # 6. INTENDED USE COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE The intended use of the subject and predicate are the same aside from the product name. The indication for use of the subject device is a subset of the predicate device. # 7. TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE The LithoBlast Laser Fiber Models include those with SMA 905 connector, core fiber sizes from 272 to 940µm, and a straight cut flat cleaved distal end.

PERFORMANCE TESTING Bench performance tests, biocompatibility and sterilization and packaging validation support the substantial equivalence between the LithoBlast laser fiber family and the predicate device. Performance tests included: - Power transmission, initial and long duration - Connection temperature - Aiming beam - Dimensional specifications and surface finish - Trackability and kink radius - Fiber control, torqueability - Tensile strength - Compatibility ## 9. CONCLUSIONS The nonclinical testing in this 510(k) leads to the conclusion that the LithoBlast Single-Use Holmium Laser Fiber is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device per 21 CFR 807.92(b)(3).
