## Intended Use

The 810nm Diomed Laser and EVLT Procedure Kit are intended for use in the treatment of superficial vein reflux of the greater saphenous vein associated with varicosities. The Diomed D15 plus and D30 plus and EVLT Kits are indicated for treatment of incompetence and reflux of superficial veins in the lower extremity.

## Device Story

Diode laser system (D15Plus/D30Plus) delivers pulsed or continuous wave radiation via fiber optic handpiece/optical fiber. EVLT procedure kit includes bare tip fiber (400-1000 micron), introducer sheath (4-5 Fr), percutaneous entry needle (19G), and guide wire (0.035"). Used by physicians in clinical settings for endovenous laser treatment of superficial vein reflux. Laser energy induces thermal ablation of the vein; output controlled by physician to treat incompetent veins. Benefits include minimally invasive management of lower extremity varicosities.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical data presented on 213 subjects treated with the Diomed D15Plus Laser System and EVLT Kit for endovenous laser treatment.

## Technological Characteristics

Diode laser; pulsed radiation (up to 119 J/cm² for D15Plus, 400 J/cm² for D30Plus) or continuous wave (0.5-15 W for D15Plus, 0.5-30 W for D30Plus). Fiber optic delivery system. Components include bare tip fiber, introducer sheath, percutaneous needle, and guide wire.

## 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.
