Device inputs thermal data from the treatment area; transforms signals into a temperature reading; displays output on a control panel for the laser operator. Used in clinical settings by physicians or trained laser operators during ND-130 Laser procedures. Output provides real-time thermal monitoring to assist the operator in managing the treatment area temperature, potentially enhancing procedural safety. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Temperature detector/sensor; provides control panel readout of treatment area temperature. Designed as an accessory for the ND-130 Laser system. ## 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 - Fiber Tipped Protection System accessory ([K912703](/device/K912703.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
