System utilizes Nd:YAG crystal (1064 nm) and frequency-doubling KTP crystal (532 nm) activated by flashlamps. Physician selects wavelength via control panel; therapeutic beam combined with red diode aiming beam via beamsplitter; articulated arm delivers energy to focusing handpiece for non-contact application. System includes high-voltage power supply, water-to-air cooling, and microprocessor-based controller for parameter regulation. Used in clinical settings by physicians to perform tissue ablation, tattoo removal, and lesion treatment. Output energy affects tissue via photothermal/photomechanical interaction; clinical benefit includes precise tissue removal and lesion clearance. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and frequency-doubled KTP (532 nm) laser system. Features: flashlamp-pumped, articulated arm delivery, focusing handpiece, microprocessor-based controller, internal water-to-air heat exchanger cooling. Non-contact operation. Standalone system. ## 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 - Spectra -VRM Q-switched Nd: YAG Laser System ([K000317](/device/K000317.md)) - Medlite C6 Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser ([K014234](/device/K014234.md)) - Palomar Q-YAG Nd:YAG Laser System ([K023967](/device/K023967.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Description The Fotona QX laser system is based on the Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and frequency doubled KTP Nd:YAG (532 nm) laser technology. There is one optical cavity containing the Nd:YAG crystal. The frequency doubled KTP Nd:YAG wavelength is achieved by directing the Nd: YAG laser beam through a frequency doubling non-linear crystal. The Nd:YAG laser is activated by means of the use of flashlamps. After the cavity, a red diode aiming beam is reflected onto a coaxial beam path using a beamsplitter assembly. The combined therapeutic and aiming beams are guided by articulated arm to a focusing handpiece. Both lasers are used in non-contact mode. Both laser wavelengths share a common power supply, control system, and cooling system. The internal computer can be directed to select either the Nd: YAG head or the KTP Nd: YAG laser wavelength. When the laser is first turned on the physician is able to select the desired wavelength via control panel. The Fotona QX laser system consists of: a) A high voltage power supply, which converts and rectifies the a.c. mains current to provide regulated power for the flashlamp simmer current and main triggering pulse. b) A cooling system consisting of an internal water flow circuit together with water-to-air heat exchanger. c) The microprocessor based controller, which regulates the functions of both lasers and allows parameter selection by the user. d) The Nd: YAG laser head. {1}------------------------------------------------ e) The frequency doubling crystal. g) The optical delivery system, interfacing the energy from the laser to the patient via an articulated arm and focusing handpiece. #### III.

This nominal pulsewithin is 1 7 minoooooonaed for incision/excision, ablation, vaporization of soft tissue in general dermatology, removal of dark ink (black, blue and brown) tattoos, Son lissue in general definatorial or lightening of unwanted hair, treatment of Common Nevi. The frequency doubled Nd: YAG (532 nm) KTP laser delivers up to 0.5J of laser energy in 4-9 nanosecond pulses. Spot sizes available range from 2 to 7 mm. This laser wavelength is intended to be used for incision/excision, ablation, vaporization of soft wavelength is intended to be assureal of light ink (red, tan, purple, and orange) tatoos, removal of pigmented lesions, removal of vascular lesions, treatment of Lentigines, treatment of Cafe-Au-Lait, treatment of Common Nevi, treatment of Seborrheic Kearotoses, and treatment of Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. ### IV. Summary of Substantial Equivalence Fotona believes that its Fotona QX laser system is substantially equivalent to the a) Spectra -VRM Q-switched Nd: YAG Laser System (K000317) previously cleared for: - Incision, excision, ablation, vaporization of soft tissue for general dermatology - 532 nm wavelength: - removal of light ink (red, tan, purple, and orange) tatoos, - removal of pigmented lesions, removal of vascular lesions, - treatment of Lentigines, treatment of Cafe-Au-Lait, - treatment of Common Nevi, । - treatment of Seborrheic Kearotoses, । - treatment of Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. । - 1064 nm wavelength: = - removal of dark ink (black, blue and brown) tattoos, - - treatment of Nevus of Ota, - - removal or lightening of unwanted hair, - - treatment of Common Nevi. - b) Medlite C6 Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser (K 014234) previously cleared for incision, excision, ablation, vaporization of soft tissue for general dermatology, Tatoo removal, treatment of Vascular Lesions and treatment of Pigmented Lesions. c) Palomar Q-YAG Nd:YAG Laser System (K023967) previously cleared for skin resurfacing with or without adjuvant preparation at the 1064 nm wavelength. 510(k) Submission: Fotona QX Nd: YAG/KTP Laser System {2}------------------------------------------------ They therefore have the same Intended Use as the Fotona QX laser system. The Fotona QX laser system shares the same design features (wavelength, active medium, cooling system, power supply, beam deliveries, controls, housing) as the medicate devices. The output characteristics are the same as those of the predicate devices. The risk and benefits for the Fotona QX laser system are comparable to the predicate devices when used for similar clinical applications. It is therefore believed that there are no new questions of Safety or Effectiveness raised by the introduction of the Fotona QX Nd: YAG/KTP laser system. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
