## Intended Use

The Surgical Lightstic" 180 is intended to be used as a surgical instrument for coagulation of soft tissue (including cardiac tissue) in conjunction with or without endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, cystoscopes, gastroscopes, colonoscopes), in the contact or non-contact mode in both open or closed surgical procedures (with or without handpiece). The Surgical Lightstic™ 180 is indicated for use in laser medicine and surgery with 980-1064 nm wavelength laser energy in the following surgical specialties: general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery(recommended 980nm), plastic surgery and dermatology.

## Device Story

Surgical Lightstic 180 is a fiber laser accessory used for soft tissue coagulation. It delivers laser energy (980-1064 nm) to target tissue in contact or non-contact modes. The device is used in open or closed surgical procedures, potentially in conjunction with endoscopic equipment (e.g., laparoscopes, bronchoscopes). It is operated by surgeons in clinical settings such as ORs. The device acts as a delivery conduit for laser energy, enabling precise coagulation of soft tissue, including cardiac tissue. By facilitating controlled thermal coagulation, it assists surgeons in achieving hemostasis or tissue modification, thereby supporting surgical outcomes.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; performance data not required.

## Technological Characteristics

Fiber laser accessory for 980-1064 nm wavelength laser energy delivery. Designed for contact or non-contact soft tissue coagulation. Compatible with various endoscopic instruments.

## Regulatory Identification

An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

Re: K011988 Trade/Device Name: Surgical Lightstic TM 180 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4810 Regulation name: Laser surgical instrument for use in general and plastic surgery and in dermatology Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: OCL Dated: June 25, 2001 Received: June 26, 2001

Dear Mr. Curtis:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 20, 2001.

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 (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). 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 (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.

#### Page 2 - Mr. Joseph Curtis

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
