## Intended Use

The Nidek Multicolor Laser Photocoagulator System MC-500 is intended to be used in ophthalmic surgical procedures, including retinal and macular photocoagulation, iridotomy and trabeculoplasty.

## Device Story

The MC-500 is an ophthalmic laser photocoagulator system used by ophthalmologists in clinical settings. It utilizes diode aim and treatment lasers with wavelengths of 532 nm, 577 nm, and 647 nm to deliver therapeutic energy to ocular tissues. The system includes a graphical user interface, a slit lamp, a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope for delivery, and a footswitch for operator control. The physician uses the system to perform precise photocoagulation, iridotomy, or trabeculoplasty procedures. The device output is controlled laser energy, which the physician directs to the target tissue to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, such as treating retinal or macular conditions or managing glaucoma through iridotomy/trabeculoplasty.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Ophthalmic laser photocoagulator system. Wavelengths: 532 nm, 577 nm, 647 nm. Components: diode aim and treatment lasers, graphical user interface, slit lamp, binocular indirect ophthalmoscope, footswitch.

## Regulatory Identification

An ophthalmic photocoagulator is an AC-powered device intended to use the energy from an extended noncoherent light source to occlude blood vessels of the retina, choroid, or iris.

## Predicate Devices

- Nidek Multi Color Laser Photocoagulator Model MC-300 ([K042785](/device/K042785.md))

## SECTION 6 510(k) SUMMARY (CONT.)

### Product Description

The Nidek Multicolor Laser Photocoagulator System MC-500 ("MC-500") is a conventional ophthalmic laser photocoagulator system with treatment light wavelengths of 532 um, 577 nm, and 647 nm. The system is comprised of a diode aim and treatment lasers, graphical user interface, slit lamp and binocular indirect ophthalmoscope delivery units, and a footswitch.

#### Substantial Equivalence

The MC-500 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with regard to design, function, technological characteristics, intended use and performance characteristics. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or efficacy. Thus, the proposed MC-500 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

# Testing in Support of Substantial Equivalence Determination

All necessary bench testing was conducted on the proposed MC-500 to support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

#### Summary

The MC-500 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Kit Cariquitan:

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 application (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. 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.

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
