• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The ESC Diode Laser System is intended for the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions including leg veins.

Device Story

The ESC Diode Laser System is a semiconductor diode laser operating at an 830nm wavelength. It is used by clinicians to treat vascular and pigmented lesions, including leg veins. The device delivers laser energy to target tissue to achieve therapeutic effects. It is designed for use in a clinical setting. The system is comparable to existing diode laser systems in terms of technical specifications, performance, and physical configuration.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technical specifications and performance comparisons to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Semiconductor diode laser; 830nm wavelength; conforms to 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 performance standards for medical laser systems.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions, including leg veins, in patients requiring laser therapy.

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. Ladin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is 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 device, 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 device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device 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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission 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
