Device Story

Protégé II Er:YAG laser system; utilizes Erbium:YAG laser energy for surgical soft tissue management; performs incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation. Operated by physicians in clinical, surgical, or hospital settings. Laser energy interacts with soft tissue to achieve precise cutting or removal; provides clinical benefit through minimally invasive tissue management across diverse surgical specialties. Output is controlled laser beam; used by surgeons to treat lesions, tumors, and perform resections.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Er:YAG laser system; energy source is Erbium:YAG laser; intended for soft tissue surgical applications; class II device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for surgical incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue across multiple specialties including dentistry, dermatology, plastic surgery, general surgery, genitourinary, gynecology, oral maxillofacial, ENT, ophthalmology, podiatry, arthroscopy, orthopedic, and thoracic surgery.

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 Dr. Chou:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the devices, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submissions does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542

of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone].
