## Intended Use

The Nidek DC-3300 Laser Diode Photocoagulator is indicated for all retinal photocoagulation procedures, such as limited and pan-retinal, transpupillary laser photocoagulation, endophotocoagulation and transscleral photocoagulation, and glaucoma procedures, such as laser trabeculoplasty and iridotomy. The DC-3300 is used in combination with various delivery systems, such as slit lamps, binocular indirect ophthalmoscopes, endoprobes, and transscleral probes.

## Device Story

The DC-3300 is a portable, continuous-wave 808 nm laser diode photocoagulator used for ophthalmic procedures. It features a 633 nm red diode aiming laser. The system includes a main console, footswitch, and various delivery attachments: slit lamps (Nidek SL-1600), binocular indirect ophthalmoscopes (Keeler All-Pupil, Heine Omega 180), endoprobes, and transscleral probes. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings, the device delivers laser energy to ocular tissue to perform photocoagulation or glaucoma treatments. The clinician visualizes the target tissue through the delivery system and controls laser emission via the footswitch. The device provides therapeutic thermal effects to treat retinal conditions and glaucoma, aiming to preserve or improve patient vision.

## Clinical Evidence

Dear Ms. Patterson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket 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) 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
