Device operates by delivering laser energy to target chromophores (melanin, tattoo particles) in human tissue; rapid localized heating causes fragmentation of particles. Physician controls treatment fluence, pulse energy, and spot size via articulated arm and handpiece. Used in clinical dermatology and surgical settings for tissue ablation, coagulation, and dermatologic lesion treatment. Output is visual/thermal effect on tissue; physician observes clinical response to adjust parameters. Benefits include precise removal of pigmented lesions, tattoos, and skin resurfacing. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data presented. ## Technological Characteristics Q-switched Nd:YAG laser; wavelengths 1064 nm and 532 nm (585/650 nm via dye handpieces). Energy delivered via articulated arm and handpiece. System allows control of fluence and spot size. No software-based automated analysis or algorithmic processing 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. ## Predicate Devices - Lutronic Corporation Spectra VRMIII Laser System ([K080248](/device/K080248.md)) - Fotona QX Nd:YAG/KTP Laser System Family (K0838889) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Product Code: GEX
Panel: General & Plastic Surgery | ### 3. Predicate Devices The SPECTRA Laser System is substantially equivalent to the Lutronic Corporation Spectra VRMIII Laser System (K080248) and the Fotona QX Nd:YAG/KTP Laser System Family (K0838889). ### 4. Device Description The SPECTRA Laser System produces a pulsed beam of coherent near infrared (1064 nm) and visible (532nm) light. This beam is directed to the treatment zone by means of an articulated arm coupled to a handpiece. In addition, two dye handpieces are available that convert the 532 nm wavelength to 585 nm and 650 nm. {1}------------------------------------------------ When the beam contacts human tissue, the energy in the beam is absorbed, resulting in a very rapid, highly localized temperature increase to the target chromospheres such as melanin and tattoo particles. This increases localized temperature of the chromospheres. The instantaneous temperature increase causes fragmentation of the chromospheres to smaller particles. By directing the beam onto specific tissue locations, using different handpieces, and controlling the treatment fluence, the intensity of the temperature of the target can be varied. The physician can optimize the effect for different applications by controlling the energy of the laser pulse and the spot size of the treatment beam. #### 5. Indications for Use The SPECTRA Laser System is indicated for the incision, excision, ablation, vaporization of soft tissues for general dermatology, dermatologic and general surgical procedures for coagulation and hemostasis. 532nm Wavelength (nominal delivered energy of 585 nm and 650 nm with optional dye handpieces): – Tattoo removal: light ink (red, tan, purple, orange, sky blue, green) -Removal of Epidermal Pigmented Lesions -Removal of Minor Vascular Lesions including but not limited to telangiectasias -Treatment of Lentigines -Treatment of Café-Au-Lait -Treatment of Seborrheic Keratoses -Treatment of Post Inflammatory Hyper-Pigmentation -Treatment of Becker's Nevi, Freckles and Nevi Spilus 1064nm Wavelength: -Tattoo removal: dark ink (black, blue and brown) -Removal of Nevus of Ota -Removal or lightening of unwanted hair with or without adjuvant preparation. -Treatment of Common Nevi -Skin resurfacing procedures for the treatment of acne scars and wrinkle ### 6.
