The purpose of this submission is to expand the indications for use to include pulpotomy and pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy. ## Device Story Ceralas D Diode Laser System is a surgical laser used in dental procedures. It operates with a power range of 1-15W in continuous wave (CW) or pulsed mode. The device delivers laser energy via an optical fiber equipped with an SMA 905 connector. It is intended for use by dental professionals in clinical settings to perform various soft tissue surgeries and dental treatments. The laser energy is used for tissue ablation, coagulation, and decontamination. By providing precise energy delivery, the device assists clinicians in performing procedures such as pulpotomy, gingivectomy, and frenectomy, potentially improving surgical outcomes and patient recovery compared to traditional methods. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Diode laser system; power range 1-15W; CW or pulsed mode; delivery via optical fiber with SMA 905 connector. ## 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 - Ceralas Diode Laser System (Model D15) ([K983058](/device/K983058.md)) - Premier Laser System Pegasus Nd: YAG Laser ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The purpose of this submission is to expand the indications for use to include pulpotomy and pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy. The Cerals D Diode Laser operates with a power range of 1-15W in the CW or pulsed mode. The delivery systems for the Ceralas D Laser System consist of optical fiber fitted with an SMA 905 connector at the proximal end. There are no technological differences between the previously cleared Ceralas D Laser System and the device subject to this 510(k)submission. The Ceralas D Laser System's principles of operation, function and intended use are similar to Premier Laser System's Pegasus Nd: YAG laser system and no new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised. ## Performance Data None required. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) in the USA.
