This laser is intended for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coaqulation of soft tissue in conjunction with endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, and colonoscopes), or for open surgery for contact or non-contact surgery with or without a handpiece for use in incision/excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue. The Laser is indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following medical specialties: Arthroscopy, Urology, Lithotripsy, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, ENT, General Surgery ## Device Story Dornier Medilas H RFID Laser Fibers are fiber-optic accessories for the Dornier Medilas H Holmium Laser. The fibers transmit laser energy to target soft tissue for incision, excision, vaporization, ablation, or coagulation. The device incorporates RFID technology to interface with the laser system. Used in clinical settings (OR, endoscopy suites) by physicians across multiple specialties (urology, ENT, etc.). The fiber acts as a delivery conduit for laser energy; the RFID tag likely communicates fiber parameters to the laser console to ensure appropriate energy delivery settings. This allows for precise tissue interaction, potentially reducing surgical trauma and improving patient outcomes compared to traditional mechanical methods. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Fiber-optic laser delivery accessory; incorporates RFID tag for communication with laser console; compatible with endoscopic and open surgical instruments; intended for use with Holmium laser systems. ## 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 - Dornier Medilas H Laser Fiber ([K022544](/device/K022544.md)) - Accuflex Laser Fibers ([K050108](/device/K050108.md)) - Lumenis SlimLine Fibers ([K011703](/device/K011703.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The Medilas H RFID Laser Fiber is a modification to Dornier's currently cleared Dornier Medilas H Laser Fiber K022544. #### Intended Use Dornier's Medilas H RFID Laser Fibers are intended to be used as an accessory for the Dornier Medilas H Holmium Laser ("Laser"). This laser is intended for cutting, vaporization, ablation, and coaqulation of soft tissue in conjunction with endoscopic equipment (including laparoscopes, hysteroscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, and colonoscopes), or for open surgery for contact or non-contact surgery with or without a handpiece for use in incision/excision, vaporization, ablation and coagulation of soft tissue. The Laser is indicated for use in medicine and surgery, in the following medical specialties: Arthroscopy, Urology, Lithotripsy, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, ENT, General Surgery {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Substantial Equivalence Dornier's Medilas H RFID Laser Fibers has the same intended use and similar indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as the predicate devices. The minor differences in the technological characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that the Dornier Medilas H RFID Laser Fibers are as safe and effective as the listed predicates. Thus, the Dornier Medilas H RFID Laser Fibers are substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
