# Predicate Devices UII.

- . Cutera Optional Infrared Handpiece
## IV. Product Description

The Cutera Titan Tabletop Product consists of a modified console designed to drive the infrared handpiece, which is an existing, FDA cleared attachment for the existing, FDA cleared laser. The handpiece is an infrared handpiece with a variable emission of 0.8 to 2.0 microns (850 - 3000 nm). The delivered wavelength is filtered to 1100nm - 1800nm via coated glass filters to eliminate the extraneous wavelengths.

The Cutera Titan Tabletop Product is comprised of five main components:

- a system console (including software and control electronics); t
- t a control and display panel;
- a detachable handpiece with integrated skin cooling; .
- a foot-operated exposure switch (footswitch); and .
- a remote interlock connector (disables emission when treatment room door is opened). .

The proximal end of the umbilical cable is semi-permanently attached to the laser system console and the distal end is permanently attached to the body of the delivery hand piece. This hand piece is removable by either the user or an authorized field service engineer for replacement at the proximal end.

#### V. Indications for Use

The Cutera Titan Tabletop Product with an infrared handpiece is intended to emit energy in the infrared spectrum to provide topical heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain and stiffness, the temporary relief of minor joint pain associated with arthritis, the temporary increase in local circulation where applied, and the relaxation of muscles. In addition, the Cutera Titan Tabletop Product may also help muscle spasms, minor sprains and strains, and minor muscular back pain.

#### VI. Rationale for Substantial Equivalence

The Cutera Titan Tabletop Product shares the same general indications for use, and therefore is substantially equivalent to the currently cleared infrared handpiece (K033768) and the currently cleared base console (K023954).

#### VII. Safety and Effectiveness Information

The indication for use is exactly the same as the previously cleared infrared handpiece (K033768).

Technologically, the Cutera Titan Tabletop Product is substantially equivalent to the listed predicate device. Therefore the risks and benefits for the Cutera Titan Tabletop Product are comparable to the predicate devices.

We therefore believe that there are no new questions of safety or effectiveness raised by the introduction of this device.

# VIII. Conclusion

The Cutera Titan Tabletop Product was found to be substantially equivalent to the currently cleared infrared handpiece (K033768) and base console (K023954). The Cutera Titan Tabletop Product shares similar indications for use, design features, and similar functional features as, and thus are substantially equivalent to, the currently marketed predicate devices.
