Federal Law restricts the use of this device by or on the order of a qualified physician only. ## Device Story UM-L20/UM-L30 are CO2 laser systems designed for surgical soft tissue management. Device generates laser energy to perform incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and hemostasis. Operated by qualified physicians in clinical settings. Physician directs laser beam to target tissue; thermal energy causes precise tissue destruction or coagulation. Output is controlled laser radiation. Benefits include precise tissue removal and effective hemostasis during surgical procedures. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use. ## Technological Characteristics Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser system. Energy source: CO2 gas laser. Form factor: Clinical unit with laser delivery accessories. Intended for surgical soft tissue applications including incision, excision, and hemostasis. ## 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. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {1}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. Annie Velez This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification.
