The writing is somewhat stylized and has a slightly tilted orientation within the frame. ### 510(K) SUMMARY Page -2- / -2- All three devices are intended to be used as a fiber optic delivery system for ND: Yag laser systems. In addition, both the Laser Fiber GF500 and the predicate device Laser Fiber GF100 are designed for use in conjunction with the W.O.M. Laser U100 during lithotripsy procedures in the contact mode. Finally, both the proposed device and the InnovaQuartz General Shape Laser Fiber are approved for reuse. The differences between the Laser Faser GF500 and predicate devices are minor and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. Accordingly, W.O.M. WORLD OF MEDICINE AG believes that the Laser Fiber GF500 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices currently on the market. ### VIII. Performance Data: The device has been tested in accordance with the European Standard EN 554 and EN 1174. The Laser Fiber GF500 bears the CE mark in accordance with the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. Signed: S.
