Device uses motorized mirrors to deflect laser beams over specified areas in uniform, controlled patterns. User interface allows parameter specification for tailored scanning procedures; scanner controls tissue ablation process to ensure uniform removal. Aiming beam outlines treatment area. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to perform cosmetic procedures; improves human interface via versatile display and adds safety features compared to predicate devices. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Microprocessor-controlled laser accessory; utilizes motorized mirrors for beam deflection. Includes aiming beam for area targeting. Features a user interface for parameter control and a display for procedure management. Connectivity and specific material standards are not disclosed. ## 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 - Sahar Technologies SofTouch Laser Accessory ([K964684](/device/K964684.md)) - Clinicon Surescan Laser Scanner ([K962242](/device/K962242.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

prepared: | May 29, 1997 | | Device Trade Name: | DermaScan™ Surgical Laser Scanner | | Common name: | Laser Accessory | | Classification name: | Class II | | Equivalent Devices: | | | Device Description: | DermaScan™ Surgical Laser Scanner is a microprocessor controlled device that
converts a surgical laser device into an advanced aesthetic surgery tool for a
variety of cosmetic procedures. The device uses motorized mirrors to deflect a
laser beam over a specified area in a uniform and controlled manner. Using a
sophisticated interface the user can specify a large number of parameters to
achieve a scanning procedure that is tailored to the individual needs of the
patient. The scanner then controls the actual tissue ablation process to achieve a
uniform removal of tissue over the entire area. An aiming beam is used to
outline the treated area | | Intended Use: | Ablation of soft tissue | | Comparison: | DermaScan™ uses the same basic technology as the predicate devices. It offers
added versatility to the scan parameters that are offered by the predicate devices.
It also offers a larger and more versatile display that improves the human
interface, and adds new safety features. | | Nonclinical
Performance Data: | None | | Clinical Performance
Data: | None | | Conclusion: | The DermaScan™ Surgical Laser Scanner is substantially equivalent to other
laser scanners in commercial distribution for the same surgical application | | Additional Information | None requested at this time | {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
