Visible red (630-650 nm) semiconductor diode laser is used for aiming. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Intended Use The OcuLight GL/GLx is indicated for retinal photocoagulation, laser trabeculoplasty, the treatment of vascular and pigmented skin lesions, and other laser treatments. The following are examples of applications for the OcuLight GL/GLx laser systems. | Condition | Treatment | |--------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------| | Diabetic Retinopathy | Retinal Photocoagulation (RPC); Focal
and Grid Laser Treatments | | • Nonproliferative Retinopathy | | | • Macular Edema | | | • Proliferative Retinopathy | | | Glaucoma | Laser Trabeculoplasty; Iridotomy;

The expansion of the indications for use for the proposed OcuLight does not result in a change to the hardware or firmware for the currently marketed OcuLight GL/GLx. {2}------------------------------------------------ K0.31665 3/3 The OcuLight SL/SLx Laser Systems are indicated for Retinal Photocoagulation, Laser Trabeculoplasty, Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation, Transscleral Retinal Photocoagulation, and other Laser Diode Treatments. The OcuLight SL/SLx diode laser systems feature a combination of pulsed diode laser and optical fiber technology to deliver the correct balance of 810 nm wavelength, spot size, and pulse duration for effective laser photocoagulation. The Lumenis Novus Spectra Diode Laser System is indicated for many Ophthalmic, Ears, Nose and Throat, Dermatological and Dentistry applications. The Lumenis Novus Spectra delivers the same infrared wavelength, pulses of equivalent duration, treatment spots of equivalent size, and energy densities equivalent to the OcuLight GL/GLx. The Alcon Ophthalas 532 Laser is indicated for use in all clinical applications for which an Argon laser would be used in ophthalmic surgery, including, but not limited to Retinal and Macular Photocoagulation; Internal Sclerostomy; Iridotomy; and Trabeculoplasty. The Ophthalas 532 Laser and OcuLight GL/GLx use a variety of delivery systems, including slit lamps, indirect ophthalmoscopes, and endoprobe handpieces. The Ophthalas 532 Laser delivers a similar wavelength, pulses of equivalent duration, treatment spots of equivalent size, and energy densities equivalent to the OcuLight GL/GLx. #### Non-Clinical performance Data None ## Clinical performance Data None ## Conclusion The OcuLight GL/GLx is substantially equivalent to predicate devices currently legally marketed for the indication of retinal photocoagulation, laser trabeculoplasty, the treatment of vascular and pigmented skin lesions, and other laser treatments. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

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. 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 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. {4}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Mr. John Jossy This letter will allow you to begin 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 (301) 594-4659. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
