Intended Use
The CO2 Laser WaveGuide Delivery System is intended for use in open and laparoscopic surgical procedures for ablation, vaporization, excision, and coagulation of soft tissue.
Device Story
FiberLase CO2 Laser WaveGuide is a hollow, semi-rigid, light-conducting tube for CO2 laser energy delivery. Input: 10.6 µm CO2 laser beam and 0.6328 µm HeNe aiming beam. Operation: laser energy enters via 905 SMA connector; travels through tube via multiple internal reflections; delivered to tissue at distal end. Used in OR/clinic by surgeons for soft tissue procedures. Includes handpieces for handling and beam deflection; cleaving/cutting tools; optional gas purge system (air flow 2 L/min, 4.5 psi) to maintain channel clarity. Output: focused laser energy for tissue interaction. Benefits: enables precise, minimally invasive surgical access for ablation/coagulation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing evaluated percent transmission using the longest length waveguide as a worst-case scenario to confirm performance equivalence to the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Hollow, semi-rigid light-conducting tube. Wavelengths: 10.6 µm (CO2) and 0.6328 µm (HeNe). Connector: 905 SMA. Dimensions: Core diameters 300-750 µm; lengths 60-200 cm. Accessories: Handpieces with polished metal surfaces for beam deflection, cleaving/cutting tools. Compatible with external gas purge systems (2 L/min, 4.5 psi).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing open, laparoscopic, or endoscopic surgical procedures requiring soft tissue ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, or coagulation, specifically including ENT surgery. Compatible with CO2 lasers featuring a 905 SMA connector.
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.

### 4. Intended Use
The CO2 Laser WaveGuide Delivery System is intended for use in open and laparoscopic surgical procedures for ablation, vaporization, excision, and coagulation of soft tissue.
#### 5. Description of the Device
The CO2 Laser WaveGuide is a laser delivery system for use in surgical procedures requiring ablation, vaporization, excision, incision and coagulation of soft tissue. The CO2 Laser WaveGuide device is indicated for use in open surgical procedures such as ENT surgery and laparoscopy and endoscopic procedures. The CO2 Laser WaveGuide is a hollow, semi-rigid, light-conducting tube designed to operate at wavelengths of 10.6 um and 0.6328 um. These wavelengths correspond to the output of the CO2 laser device and the helium-neon laser aiming beam, thereby allowing both laser radiations to be simultaneously and efficiently transmitted through the same channel. Laser energy entering the waveguide travels down the tube by multiple bounces off the inner reflective surface, and is delivered to the tissue at the distal end.
The CO2 Laser WaveGuide is compatible for use with any laser system that has a 905 SMA connector. The WaveGuide is supplied in several configurations with the dimensions specified in the following table:
| Core diameter [µm] | Outer diameters [µm] | Lengths [cm] |
|--------------------|----------------------|-------------------|
| 300 | 700, 800 | 60, 100, 150 |
| 500 | 900, 1040 | 60, 100, 150, 200 |
| 750 | 1200, 1400 | 100, 150, 200 |
Table 1 - CO2 Laser WaveGuide Dimensions
The CO2 Laser WaveGuide is supplied with a set of eight hand pieces through which the WaveGuide may be inserted for easy handling in surgical procedures. The hand pieces are available with various features at the distal end to provide angled beam deflection
{2}------------------------------------------------
with a highly polished metal surface. The WaveGuide is also provided with cleaving and cutting tools. The WaveGuide accessories are all provided as reusable tools. The CO2 Laser WaveGuide may be used with a gas purge system providing a flow of air of 2 liters per minute and a regulator pressure of 4.5 psi. The gas purge system keeps the inner channel of the waveguide free of debris. The gas purge system is not supplied with the waveguide.
### 6. Performance Testing
The modified waveguide and new handpieces were bench tested to establish percent transmission using the longest length fiber optic waveguide as the worse case test scenario.
### 7. Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Device
The technological characteristics of the modified device, e.g., overall design, mechanism of action, mode of operation, performance characteristics, etc., and the intended use of the new CO2 Laser WaveGuide are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared CO2 Laser WaveGuide cited above.
