Intended Use
The Temperature Diagnostic Accessory is intended for use as a sensing device to measure and display the temperature of the treatment area during procedures with the ND-130 Laser.
Device Story
Temperature Diagnostic Accessory functions as a temperature detector for laser surgery. 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.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a temperature sensing and display device for the treatment area during procedures involving the ND-130 Laser.
Regulatory Classification
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.

Dear Mr. Hennings:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). 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 requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) 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.
