Intended Use
The InMode VLaze is intended for the treatment of vascular lesions, including angiomas, telangiestasia, port wine stains, leg veins and other benign vascular lesions.
Device Story
InMode VLaze is a diode laser system for treating benign vascular lesions. Device consists of console (AC/DC power, diode driver, water cooling, controller, touch screen) and handpiece. Handpiece delivers 1060nm laser energy via sapphire block; integrated thermoelectric coolers (7°C or 12°C) provide skin cooling. Operator (physician/clinician) adjusts fluence (40-300 J/cm²) and pulse duration (5-100msec) via interface; foot switch activates energy delivery. Linear scanning system directs beam to target tissue. Cooling enhances patient comfort and safety. Used in clinical settings for dermatological/surgical applications. Output is laser energy; clinical decision-making relies on clinician assessment of lesion type and patient skin response.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Device performance specifications and system requirements were verified through compliance testing to IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-22, and IEC 60825-1 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Diode laser; 1060nm ± 15nm wavelength; 40-300 J/cm² fluence; 5-100msec pulse width. Sapphire light guide (3x4mm spot size) with thermoelectric cooling (7°C/12°C).

#### Device Description:
The InMode VLaze device is designed to deliver diode laser energy to the skin via a pre-cooled sapphire block. The good optical contact between the sapphire block and skin is achieved by using water based gel. The device provides individual adjustment of light fluence and pulse duration to achieve maximum efficiency and safety for each patient. The hand piece has integrated skin cooling to enhance safety and comfort of the treatment.
The InMode VLaze device consists of an AC/DC power supply unit, a diode driver, water cooling system, controller and a touch screen user interface. The diode laser hand piece is connected to the console via a cable and a foot switch activates the energy delivery to the hand piece. The hand piece comprises the InMode VLaze device laser with linear scanning system, cooled sapphire output window (3 x 4mm2), and electronic shutter.
The sapphire light guide is located on the front tip of the hand piece and delivers the laser beam energy to the treated tissue, while cooling the skin. The pair of thermoelectric coolers (TECs) located on both sides of the sapphire block provide cooling to a temperature of 7°C. The hand piece contains a trigger button which starts the laser scan and radiation. Fluence is delivered within the limits of 40 to 300J/cm². The hand piece has a cable that is 170cm long and connects the hand piece to the console via a connector.

## Performance Standards:
The InMode VLaze device was tested and complies with the voluntary performance standards listed below:
- IEC 60601-1: 2005 (Third Edition) + CORR.1 2006 + CORR.2 2007 + A1:2012 . Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Safety.
- IEC 60601-1-2, 2007 (Third Edition), Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: . General Requirements for Safety - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility -- Requirements and Tests
- IEC 60825-1:2007 (Second Edition) Safety of laser products, Part 1: . Equipment classification and requirements.
- IEC 60601-2-22:2007 (Third Edition) + A1:2012 for use in conjunction with ● IEC 60601-1:2005 (Third Edition) + A1:2012 - Medical Electrical Equipment -Part 2-22: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of surgical, cosmetic, therapeutic and diagnostic laser equipment.
## Non-Clinical Performance Data:
The device laser performance specifications and system requirements were evaluated as part of the compliance tests to the IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-22 and IEC 60825-1 standard requirements. The test results show that the device performance specifications meet the system requirements.
# Clinical Performance Data:
Not Applicable
# Substantial Equivalence:
The indications for use of the InMode VLaze device are substantially equivalent to the indications for use of the ET Lightsheer 1060 and of the EVO platform predicate devices. The design and components in the InMode VLaze device, including the console (with power supply, software, cooling system and touch screen user interface), the water-cooled hand piece (with cable and connector to console) and the foot switch are based on to the design and components found in the InMode Diolaze XL (same platform system) and are similar to the ET Lightsheer 1060 and EVO platform predicate devices. The performance specifications (including wavelength, pulse width, pulse repetition rate, spot size and cooling temperature) in the InMode VLaze device are similar to performance specifications of the ET Lightsheer 1060 and EVO platform predicate devices. The safety features in the InMode VLaze device are substantially equivalent to the safety features found in the predicate devices. Consequently, the InMode VLaze device is substantially equivalent to the ET Lightsheer 1060 predicate device cleared in 510(k) K133319, to the EVO platform predicate device, cleared in 510(k) K160368 and to the InMode Diolaze XL predicate device, cleared in 510(k) K170738and therefore, may be legally marketed in the USA.

# Conclusions:
Based on the performance testing and comparison to predicate devices, the InMode
VLaze device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above.
