Intended Use
The device is intended for delivery of laser light to soft tissue in the contact and non contact mode during surgical procedures including via endoscopes. The Ceralas Multiwavelength 980/1470 Diode Laser is generally indicated for use in incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis or coagulation of soft tissue in ear, nose and throat and oral surgery (otolaryngology), arthroscopy, gastroenterology, general surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery, podiatry, urology, gynecology, neurosurgery (peripheral nervous system), pulmonary surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, dental applications, and endovenous occlusion of the greater saphenous vein. The Multiwavelength laser is further indicated for laser assisted lipolysis.
Device Story
Diode laser system delivers 980nm and 1470nm laser energy to soft tissue; used in contact or non-contact modes, including via endoscopes. Operated by physicians in clinical/surgical settings (OR, clinic). Device transforms electrical energy into laser light for surgical applications: incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, coagulation. Output is laser light delivered to target tissue; healthcare provider uses output to perform surgical procedures, potentially reducing bleeding and tissue trauma compared to traditional methods. Used with ELVes Procedure Kit for endovenous occlusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data presented. Performance testing demonstrated no significant difference compared to cleared predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Diode laser system emitting 980nm and 1470nm wavelengths. Operates in contact and non-contact modes. Intended for soft tissue surgical applications. No specific materials, software architecture, or connectivity details provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue surgery (incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis, coagulation) across various specialties including ENT, arthroscopy, GI, general/plastic/podiatric surgery, urology, gynecology, neurosurgery, pulmonary, cardiothoracic, and dental. Also indicated for endovenous occlusion of the greater saphenous vein in patients with superficial vein reflux and laser-assisted lipolysis.
Regulatory Classification
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.
