The DUOLITE Q-Switched laser is intended for tattoo removal (blue, black and green tattoo) The DUOLITE Q-Switched laser is intended for treatment of vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and for hair removal and the incision, excision, ablation, vaporization of soft tissue for general dermatology. The DUOLITE Q-Switched laser is intended for tattoo removal (red, violet, orange, yellow and brown tattoo) ## Device Story The Quanta System DUOLITE is a Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser surgical instrument used in dermatology. It utilizes 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths to treat vascular and pigmented lesions, remove hair, and perform soft tissue surgery (incision, excision, ablation, vaporization). The device includes a laser source, power supply, cooling system, and an articulated arm optical delivery system. A microprocessor-based controller manages laser parameters, including wavelength and handpiece selection, ensuring safety. Operated by clinicians in a clinical setting, the device delivers pulsed laser energy to the target tissue. The output allows for precise tissue interaction, enabling dermatological procedures and tattoo removal. The system is designed to provide controlled energy delivery to achieve therapeutic outcomes in skin and tissue management. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and performance comparisons to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser; wavelengths 1064 nm and 532 nm; pulse width 6 ns; fluence up to 28 J/cm² (1064 nm) and 14 J/cm² (532 nm); spot sizes 2, 3, 6 mm; repetition rates 1, 2, 5, 10 Hz. Includes microprocessor-based controller, cooling system, and articulated arm delivery. Biocompatible handpiece materials. ## 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 - Cynosure, Inc Affinity QS Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser ([K050382](/device/K050382.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
