## Intended Use

The Oculase MD may be indicated for general ophthalmic soft tissue surgical indications such as: Incision, excision, vaporization and coagulation of ocular tissue and tissue surrounding the eye and orbit.

## Device Story

Oculase MD is an Er,Cr:YSGG laser system for ophthalmic soft tissue surgery. Device delivers laser energy via flexible fiber optic and handpiece to target tissue; red aiming beam pinpoints treatment area. System incorporates sterile water spray during laser delivery to tissue site. Handpiece is rotatable and detachable; tip serves as optical power conduit. Operated by clinicians in surgical settings. Laser power output is adjustable by user. Device facilitates incision, excision, vaporization, and coagulation of ocular and surrounding tissues.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data presented; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Er,Cr:YSGG (Erbium, Chromium: Yttrium, Scandium, Gallium, Garnet) laser system. Features flexible fiber optic delivery, rotatable/detachable handpiece, and sterile water spray cooling. Includes red aiming beam. Manual power adjustment. No software-based automation or connectivity described.

## 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.

2. Names

Device Name:

Classification Name:

Ophthalmic Laser Product Code: HQF

#### 3. Predicate Devices

The Oculase MD® is substantially equivalent to a combination of the following devices: BIOLASE's WaterLase® (K031140, K030523, K012511, K011041), and DermaLase™ (K971459), MSq (M2) Ltd. MSq Family of Lovely Light/Laser Systems (K042000), Laserscope's Erbium:YAG Laser System and Accessories (K971843), Aesculap-Meditec's MCL 29 Dermablate Erbium Laser System (K964128), Pfizer Laser Systems' Centauri (K905141), and the Friendly Light ER:YAG Pulsed Laser (K000023).

#### 4. Device Description

The Oculase MD Er,Cr:YSGG (Erbium, Chromium: Yttrium, Scandium, Gallium, Garnet) tissue cutting system is a unique device with diverse ophthalmic tissue applications. A flexible fiber optic with handpiece delivers the laser wavelength to the target tissue. A red light emitted from the handpiece distal end pinpoints the area of treatment. The optical power output may be adjusted to specific user requirements for tissue applications. Laser radiation is delivered

{1}------------------------------------------------

from the laser unit to the handpiece through the optical fiber. A sterile water spray is emitted at the same time laser radiation is delivered to the tissue site. The handpiece is rotatable and detachable from the optical shaft. The tip is detachable from the handpiece and serves as the optical power conduit to the target tissue.

# 5. Indications for Use

The Oculase MD is indicated for use in general ophthalmic soft tissue surgical indications such as: incision, excision, vaporization and coagulation of ocular tissue and tissue surrounding the eye and orbit.
