The Beacon Advanced CO2 Advanced Energy Laser System is intended to be used in conjunction with the OmniGuide WaveGuide Fibers or the Articulated Arm to be used for the incision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of body soft tissues including intra-oral soft tissues.
Device Story
Beacon Advanced Energy CO2 Laser System is a surgical laser console utilizing an RF-excited CO2 laser tube. It delivers 10,600 nm laser energy via an articulated arm with handpieces/micromanipulators or through fiber adapters for OmniGuide WaveGuide fibers. The system features a touch-screen GUI for controlling lasing modes (continuous, single pulse, repeat pulse), waveforms (CW or Super Pulse), and output power. It includes a helium gas management system for fiber use. Operated by physicians in clinical settings, the device provides precise soft tissue interaction (incision/ablation/coagulation). The GUI is password-protected. The system uses passive optical components (mirrors, lenses) to direct the beam. By enabling controlled tissue removal and coagulation, the device assists surgeons in various surgical specialties, offering a versatile tool for soft tissue management.

## Device Description
The Beacon Advanced Energy Laser System is a carbon dioxide laser system utilizing RF excited CO2 laser tube. The device is comprised of a system console, with or without an articulated arm terminated with a handpiece or a micromanipulator, a fiber adapter, system control electronics, a touch screen providing a graphical user interface, a covered footswitch, helium gas management system (for using the OmniGuide Waveguide fibers with the system (K140378, K093451, K093251 and K070157. Located in Appendix 6), and operating software.
The laser system delivers laser energy at 10,600 nm in three different output modes: continuous, single pulse and repeat pulse and two waveforms: Continuous Wave (CW) or Super Pulse (SP). The laser energy produced by the laser tube within the laser console is delivered through an articulated arm system terminating in a handpiece or multiple-use attachments or through a fiber adaptor coupling the laser energy into a OmniGuide. The articulating arm allows the laser energy to be delivered through a focusing handpiece or a micromanipulator achieving laser beam spot sizes in the range of 0.2-0.6 mm in the operating field. The Waveguide fibers have been cleared through K140378, K093451, K093251 and K070157.
The Beacon is operated and controlled via Graphical User Interface implemented by proprietary operating software running on single board computer in the laser console.
The operator can control various aspects of the Beacon operation through the Graphical User Interface on the touch screen. The access to the Graphical User Interface and laser operation is password protected to control access. The operator can adjust the lasing modes, pulse rate and duration in case of pulsed modes, set the waveform (CW or SP) and output power. They can also select whether to use fiber or the articulating arm with the micromanipulator or handpieces or other accessories.
Material used are mainly machined or cast aluminum, stainless steel, standard optics for the transmission or the reflection of the CO2 laser wave energy. It is worth noting that all components (mirrors, lenses, fiber and articulating arm) that the COs light travels through are passive and do not alter the wavelength or any other of the fundamental properties of the CO2 Laser.
## Technological Characteristics
The Beacon has the same intended use and similar indications for use, technological characteristics and operating principles as K151331 The UltraPulse system (UltraPulse and UltraPulse Duo models, members of the modified Lumenis Family of UltraPulse SurgiTouch CO2 Surgical Lasers). The design and components are very similar to the predicate devices have the Graphical User Interface on a touch screen in the front of the device has an articulating arm and an adapter port for the attachment of fibers. Both devices have the laser energy generated within the laser console and delivered to either the articulated arm or the fiber adapter. Each device has an aiming beam to assist in the proper delivery of the treatment beams but aiming beam does not deliver any therapeutic energy. Both devices have similar key design aspects including spot sizes, laser wavelength, ranges of laser operating parameters such as pulse widths and output power. The differences are minor and do not raise any new issues of safety or efficacy of the Beacon device as shown in the performance testing results.

## Non-Clinical Performance Data
The Beacon Advanced Energy CO2 Laser System performance characteristics have been evaluated through testing and analysis of laser power output and beam quality. The ability of new device to withstand variant operation, storage and transportation was tested. The system testing (energy measurements, safety controls, emission indicator, switching mechanism, fiber and articulating arm and aiming beam was also completed. This type of testing complies with the respective section of the FDA Guidance on the Content and Organization of a Premarket Notification for a Medical Laser (1995) and is similar to the predicate device tests. The performance of the Beacon Advanced Energy CO2 Laser System and related parameters of the predicate device are substantially equivalent.
Software verification and validation testing was conducted, and documentation provided as recommended by FDA's "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions Contained in Medical Devices" and IEC 62304:2006 Medical Device Software. Device software verification and validation results were found acceptable for software release
#### Clinical Performance Data
Formal clinical trials were not deemed necessary as the device is using the same technology and intended use as the predicate device

### Biocompatibility
No part of the laser contacts the patient therefor no biocompatibility testing was necessary
### Summary of Substantial Equivalence
The Beacon Advanced Energy CO2 Laser System and the predicate device have the same intended use as surgical lasers with similar indications for use. The Beacon Advanced Energy CO2 Laser System presents similar technological characteristics as its predicate device, including the laser type, wavelength, device design, waveforms and pulsed mode characteristics, laser beam spot sizes. Although there might be minor differences in the details of the device design, they are not sufficient to raise new questions of safety or efficacy.
### Conclusion
The Beacon Advanced Energy CO2 Laser System is as safe and effective as the Lumenis UltraPulse and UltraPulse Duo Laser Family (K151331). The new device has similar intended use and indications for use, technological characteristics and the same principle of operation as the predicate device. The minor differences in the indications for use do not alter the intended surgical use of the device and do not affect the safety or efficacy when used as labeled. The minor design differences raise no new issues of safety or efficacy. Thus, the Beacon Advanced Energy CO2 Laser and the Lumenis UltraPulse and UltraPulse Duo are substantially equivalent.
