Components include a laser console, footswitch, and fiber optic handpieces (manual or ScanLite Scanner). Used in clinical dermatology settings by physicians to treat vascular, pigmented, and cutaneous lesions, acne vulgaris, and for hair removal. Laser energy is delivered to the target tissue via handpieces; clinical effect is based on photothermal interaction with target chromophores. Output is controlled by the operator via the console interface. Benefits include non-invasive treatment of various skin conditions. The system is compatible with previously cleared DioLite 532 handpieces. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical performance testing to applicable consensus and voluntary standards. ## Technological Characteristics Dual-wavelength diode laser system (532 nm and 940 nm). Components: laser console, footswitch, fiber optic handpieces (manual and ScanLite Scanner). Connectivity: compatible with existing DioLite 532 handpieces. Energy source: electrical power to diode laser. Sterilization: not specified (assumed standard for laser handpieces). ## Regulatory Identification (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon. ## Predicate Devices - DioLite 532 ([K964074](/device/K964074.md)) - Aura ([K951034](/device/K951034.md) /[K024206](/device/K024206.md)) - Prima KTP ([K973828](/device/K973828.md)) - Medilas D SkinPulse S ([K003993](/device/K003993.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Thus, it delivers the same wavelength and has similar indications to those of the VariLite. The Laserscope Aura delivers laser light at a wavelength of 532 nm and is indicated for the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions; for the treatment of cutaneous lesions: and for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Thus, it delivers the same wavelength and has similar indications to those of the VariLite. The Nidek. Inc Prima KTP delivers laser light at a wavelength 532 nm and is indicated for the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions and the treatment cutaneous lesions. Thus it delivers the same wavelength and has similar indications to those of the VariLite. The Dornier MedTcch Medilas D SkinPulse S delivers laser light at a wavelength of 940 nm. It is indicated for the treatment of vascular and pigmented skin lesions and for hair removal. Thus it delivers the same infrared wavelength and has similar indications to those of the VariLite. #### Non-Clinical performance Data Non-clinical performance testing to applicable consensus and voluntary standards is demonstrated via a Declaration of Conformity. ### Clinical performance Data Nonc #### Conclusion The VariLite is substantially equivalent to predicate devices currently legally marketed for the intended use/indications for use above. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/2 description: The image is a black and white emblem for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
