## Intended Use

The LASEMD Laser System is indicated for use in dermatological procedures requiring the coagulation of soft tissue, treatment of actinic keratosis, and treatment of benign pigmented lesions such as, but not limited to lentigos (age spots), solar lentigos (sun spots) and ephelides (freckles).

## Device Story

LASEMD Laser System is a thulium laser (1927 nm) for dermatological procedures. Device uses a footswitch-activated pulsed coherent near-infrared light beam delivered via an optical fiber and handpiece to the treatment zone. An integrated LED touch screen allows user control of laser parameters; a 658 nm aiming beam assists targeting. Operated by clinicians in a clinical setting. Device produces thermal coagulation of soft tissue to treat actinic keratosis and benign pigmented lesions. Benefits include precise tissue coagulation for dermatological conditions.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench testing (electrical safety per IEC 60601-1, EMC per IEC 60601-1-2) and animal histology confirming equivalent treatment effects to the predicate.

## Technological Characteristics

Thulium laser, 1927 nm wavelength. 658 nm aiming beam (≤ 5 mW). Fiber-coupled handpiece delivery. Footswitch activation. Integrated LED touch screen interface. Power: 5 W. Max pulse energy: 20 mJ. Max pulse width: 20 ms. Pulse repetition rate: 43.5 - 307.7 Hz. Spot size: 100-200 μm. Electrical: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz. Standards: ISO 13485:2003, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2.

## 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.

Dear Jhung Vojir:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Actinclude requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR

{1}------------------------------------------------

Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

#### 7. Performance Data

The Company's Performance Data for the LASEMD Laser System is as follows:

# Bench Testing

The LASEMD Laser System complies with all applicable standards, including ISO 13485:2003, ISO 60601-1 for electrical safety and IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility.

# Animal Testing

Histology confirms that the treatment skin effect of the LASEMD Laser System is the same as the predicate Fraxel DUAL 1927 nm Laser System when used at the same energy settings.

# Clinical Testing

No performance data has been provided since the LASEMD Laser System is equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device with no new issues regarding safety and effectiveness.

#### 8. Conclusion

The LASEMD Laser System and the legally marketed Fraxel DUAL Laser System cleared under 510(k) number K130193, have the same intended use and Indications for Use statement. While the technological characteristics differ between the two systems, the differences have been established to be minor. Performance testing data established that the LASEMD Laser System is as safe and effective as the legally marked predicate 

{7}------------------------------------------------

device and that the LASEMD Laser System does not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate. On this basis and in accordance with 21 CFR \$ 807.100(b), the LASEMD Laser System is substantially equivalent to the Fraxel DUAL Laser System and can be legally marketed in the U.S.
