Intended Use

The Dornier Medilas H Laser is intended to be used in cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in conjunction with endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, and colonoscopes), or in incision/excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue in contact or non-contact open surgery. The Dornier Medilas H Laser is indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following specialities: Urology, Pulmonology, Arthroscopy, Lithotripsy, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, ENT, and General Surgery.

Device Story

Pulsed Holmium:YAG laser (2080 nm) for soft tissue surgery; utilizes bare fiber for contact cutting and non-contact coagulation/vaporization. Operated by physicians in clinical/surgical settings. System features photoelectric power meters, automatic calibration, and graphic display for parameters/status. Cooling system uses internal closed-circuit water system. Safety architecture includes 2-stage foot switch and dual-microprocessor watchdog system monitoring a single rotating magnetic shutter; hardware-initiated 'system fault' routine halts laser output if microprocessors mismatch. Provides controlled thermal energy to target tissue; benefits include precise tissue interaction for incision, excision, and ablation.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Compliance with Class IV performance standards (21 C.F.R. § 1040.10 and §1040.11) and voluntary standards (IEC-601, IEC 825, VDE 0837/2.86) provided.

Technological Characteristics

Pulsed Ho:YAG laser; 2080 nm wavelength. Features: photoelectric power meters, automatic calibration, graphic display panel, air-cooled internal closed-circuit water cooling system (dissipates 1.5 kW). Safety: 2-stage foot switch, dual-microprocessor watchdog, single rotating magnetic shutter. Class IV laser. Standards: IEC-601, IEC 825, VDE 0837/2.86.

Indications for Use

Indicated for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in endoscopic (laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, bronchoscopy, gastroscopy, cystoscopy, colonoscopy) or open surgical procedures. Specialties include Urology, Pulmonology, Arthroscopy, Lithotripsy, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, ENT, and General Surgery.

Regulatory Classification

Medilas H Pulsed Holmium YAG Laser .

> Dornier Medical Systems, Inc. 1155 Roberts Boulevard Kennesaw, GA 30144

#### Classification Name

HO: YAG lasers have not been specifically classified by FDA.

#### Predicate Devices

Dornier Medilas Fibertome Laser Model 5100 and Coherent's VersaPulse 2.1.

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### Intended Use

The Dornier Medilas H Laser is intended to be used in cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coagulation of soft tissue in conjunction with endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, and colonoscopes), or in incision/excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue in contact or non-contact open surgery. The Dornier Medilas H Laser is indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following specialities: Urology, Pulmonology, Arthroscopy, Lithotripsy, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, ENT, and General Surgery.

#### Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The Dornier Medilas H Pulsed Holmium YAG Laser is a compact pulsed HO:Yag laser emitting laser radiation in the invisible range of 2080 nm. The Medilas H provides a temperature controlled method for contact cutting and non contact coagulation and vaporization with a bare fiber.

The Medilas H has the same principles of operation and similar technological characteristics as previously cleared predicates, the Dornier Medilas fibertome 5100 and Coherent's VersaPulse 2.1.

The Medilas H and the 5100 laser have photoelectric power meters and both are automatically calibrated. Both laser have a 2-stage, waterproof and explosionproof, foot switch and both laser incorporate a watchdog monitored microprocessor.

There are minor differences between the Medilas H and its predicate, none of which present new issues of safety or effectiveness. The Medilas H and the 5100 offers adiustable pulse durations, or continuous. The maximum power of both aiming beam at the aperture is 1 mW.

Both the Medilas H and the 5100 laser incorporates a graphic display panel. The Medilas H graphic display shows laser operating parameters, application modes, time functions, system status and messages for the user.

Whereas, its predicate devices offers several modes of operation to include the standard, the Medilas H offer only a software controlled Standard operating mode. -The Standard mode is used for non-contact coagulation and vaporization.

Like the 5100 laser, the Medilas H has a cooling system which includes an aircooled, temperature controlled internal closed circuit water system. The cooling system in the Medilas H is identical to the system included in the previously cleared 510(k) for the Medilas 5100 (K964760). In order to conduct away the

{2}------------------------------------------------

heat produced by the laser pump lamp, the cooling circuit dissipates a maximum of approximately 1.5 kW of heat. This premits a maximum of approximately 15 minutes of uninterrupted operation at full laser power before the maximum permissible water temperature of 770 F (25oC) is reached.

As a safety feature, the Medilas H and the 5100 has a single rotating magnetic shutter which moves the filter out of the laser beam. One microprocessor controls the shutters. The Medilas H and the 5100 laser is based on a single shutter with two parallel running microprocessors. Whenever one microprocessor runs differently from the other, the Medilas H laser hardware initiated a "system fault" routine. During any "system fault" laser production and release immediately halt.

#### Performance Data

While no performance standard have been established for HO: YAG lasers under Section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Dornier Medilas H laser is in compliance with class IV performance standards for light emitting products promulgated under the Radiation Control Health and Safety Act of 1968. See 21 C.F.R. § 1040.10 and §1040.11. the laser also complies with the applicable requirements of the following voluntary standards: IEC-601. IEC 825NDE 0837/2.86.
