The device is indicated for ablating, incising, excising, vaporization and coagulation of soft tissues using a contact, fiber-optic delivery system. The device will be used in the following areas: general and cosmetic dentistry, otolaryngology, oral maxillo-facial and general and plastic surgery. The following are the oropharangeal indications for use for which the device will be marketed: Excisional and incisional biopsies; Excision and vaporization of herpes simplex I and II; Exposure of unerupted teeth; Fibroma removal; Frenectomy and Frenotomy; Gingival troughing for crown impressions; Gingivectomy; Gingivoplasty; Gingival incision and excision; Hemostasis; Implant recovery; Incision and drainage of abscess; Laser Assisted Uvulopaletoplasty (LAUP) - This laser is effective for cutting, ablating, coagulating and removing oropharangeal soft tissue that has been diagnosed as anatomically abnormal or naturally occurring hypertrophic which has been identified and confirmed as being associated with chronic palatal snoring; Leukoplakia; Operculectomy; Oral Papillectomies; Pulpotomy and Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy; Reduction of denture hyperplasia; Reduction of gingival hypertrophy; Removal of filling material such as gutta percha or resin as adjunct treatment during root canal therapy; Removal of post-surgical granulations; Selective ablation of enamel (First Degree Caries Removal); Soft tissue crown lengthening; Sulcular debridement or soft tissue curettage (removal of diseased or inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket to improve clinical indices including gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment loss, and tooth mobility); Tissue retraction for impression; Treatment of Apthous ulcers; Vestibuloplasty. ## Device Story The SunLase 800P (PocketPro/PocketPro S4) is a pulsed Nd:YAG laser system (1064 nm) used for intraoral soft tissue surgery. It utilizes a flashlamp-pumped Nd:YAG crystal rod within an optical resonant cavity to generate laser energy, which is delivered via a contact fiber-optic cable. A HeNe laser provides a visible red aiming beam. The device is operated by a clinician in a dental or surgical setting. The operator uses a keyboard to control energy levels, pulse widths, and repetition rates. The output is a laser beam used for cutting, ablating, coagulating, and vaporizing soft tissue. The device benefits patients by providing precise tissue management for various dental and oropharyngeal conditions, including snoring treatment via LAUP. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and established clinical use of predicate Nd:YAG and diode laser devices. ## Technological Characteristics Pulsed Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm); flashlamp-pumped crystal rod; HeNe aiming beam; contact fiber-optic delivery system; microprocessor-controlled settings for energy, pulse width, and repetition rate; software-based safety interlocks for fault conditions. ## 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 - American Dental Technologies - PulseMaster™ - American Dental Technologies - DioLase ST™ - BioLase Technology, Inc. - TwiLite™ - CeramOptec - Ceralas® D15 - Dentek Laser Systems - LD-15™ - OpusDent, Ltd. - Opus 10™ - Premier Laser Systems - Aurora™ - Xintec Corporation - Dentica™ ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Louisell Tel: (530) 345-1767 x262 Fax: (530) 345-1870 Date Prepared: 17 May 2001 PocketPro or PocketPro S4 Device Trade Name: Nd:YAG Pulsed Laser Common Name: Instrument. Surgical, Powered, Laser (79-GEX) Classification Name: Legally Marketed American Dental Technologies - PulseMaster™ Predicate Devices: American Dental Technologies - DioLase ST™ BioLase Technology, Inc. - TwiLite™ CeramOptec - Ceralas® D15 Dentek Laser Systems - LD-15 ™ OpusDent, Ltd. - Opus 10TM Premier Laser Systems - Aurora ™ Xintec Corporation - Dentica TM The laser device produces an invisible treatment beam for surgery and a Device Description: visible aiming beam. The pulsed Nd:YAG treatment beam is an invisible beam of light (1064 nanometer wavelength); a Helium-Neon (HeNe) laser within the laser head console supplies the red aiming beam. The laser energy is developed inside an optical resonant cavity. A crystal rod of neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (pulsed Nd:YAG) is placed between two mirrors. The rod is "pumped" by a flashlamp that excites the Neodymium ions in the YAG crystal. Once excited, stimulated emission of photons occurs. Laser energy exits the cavity through a partially transmitting mirror and enters the distal end of the contact fiber-optic cable at the aperture. The laser energy is transmitted though the fiber-optic cable and exits the proximal tip of the fiber. The device is controlled by microprocessor via keyboard access by the operator, which allows various settings for energy levels, pulse widths and repetition rates. Software controls preclude emission of laser energy in any of a number of fault conditions. Summary Rationale: The SunLase 800P is a free running Nd:YAG laser based on the same technology as the predicate Nd:YAG lasers listed above. In addition, the predicate diode laser devices listed above operate clinically in substantially equivalent fashion; their operational technology differs only by source of emission, pulse rate, and wavelength. Tissue effects by predicate Nd. YAG and diode devices exhibit identical physical characteristics. As such, the indications for use and intended uses are the same. This consolidation of clinical applications presents no new safety issues. ## 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness SunLase 800P Dental Laser {1}------------------------------------------------ 11960 i/2 Intended Uses: The following are the oropharangeal indications for use for which the device will be marketed: - · Excisional and incisional biopsies - · Excision and vaporization of herpes simplex I and II - · Exposure of unerupted teeth - Fibroma removal - · Frenectomy and Frenotomy - · Gingival troughing for crown impressions - · Gingivectomy - · Gingivoplasty - · Gingival incision and excision - · Hemostasis - · Implant recovery - · Incision and drainage of abscess - · Laser Assisted Uvulopaletoplasty (LAUP) - This laser is effective for cutting, ablating, coagulating and removing oropharangeal soft tissue that has been diagnosed as anatomically abnormal or naturally occurring hypertrophic which has been identified and confirmed as being associated with chronic palatal snoring. - · Leukoplakia - · Operculectomy - · Oral Papillectomies - · Pulpotomy and Pulpotomy as an adjunct to root canal therapy - · Reduction of denture hyperplasia - · Reduction of gingival hypertrophy - · Removal of filling material such as gutta percha or resin as adjunct treatment during root canal therapy - · Removal of post-surgical granulations - · Selective ablation of enamel (First Degree Caries Removal) - · Soft tissue crown lengthening - · Sulcular debridement or soft tissue curettage (removal of diseased or inflamed soft tissue in the periodontal pocket to improve clinical indices including gingival index, gingival bleeding index, probe depth, attachment loss, and tooth mobility) - · Tissue retraction for impression - Treatment of Apthous ulcers - · Vestibuloplasty {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
