Indications for Use
The Alma Diode Tabletop Laser is intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures.
Device Story
The Alma Diode Tabletop Laser is a surgical laser system used in dermatologic and general surgical procedures. It utilizes diode laser modules (810 nm, 980 nm, or 1470 nm) to deliver laser energy to soft tissue via optical fibers. The system includes a main console, footswitch, and an automatic pull-back accessory. The pull-back accessory controls the rate of fiber movement along the vein wall during endovenous procedures, ensuring consistent energy delivery and minimizing treatment time. The device is operated by clinicians in a clinical setting. The clinician uses an LCD touch screen to configure parameters and monitor the procedure. By automating the fiber withdrawal, the device provides consistent exposure, which can improve procedural efficiency and potentially benefit the patient by ensuring uniform vein occlusion.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification testing confirmed mechanical pull-back speeds matched requested settings. Software was verified and validated per IEC 62304 and FDA guidance. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Diode laser source; wavelengths 810nm, 980nm, 1470nm; optical fiber delivery; LCD touch screen interface; 100-240V AC power. Pull-back accessory provides automatic fiber movement at 1, 2, and 4 mm/sec. Standards: IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 62304 (software).
Indications for Use
Indicated for endovenous laser surgery for saphenous incompetent veins (810 nm); endovenous occlusion of the greater saphenous vein in patients with superficial vein reflux (980 nm, 1470 nm); and laser assisted lipolysis (980 nm, 1470 nm).
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.

- . IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment 1-2 General Requirements for basic safety and essential performance Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances -Requirements and tests
## VIII. D Design Verification Testing
Design verification testing was performed for the Alma 1470mm diode tabletop laser with the pullback accessory. The testing consisted of performing mechanical tests to verify the actual pull back speeds matched the requested speeds.
Additionally, the software controlling the Alma 1470nm diode tabletop laser with the pull-back accessory was fully verified and validated in accordance with IEC 62304 and the FDA guidance document entitled "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
#### IX. Conclusion
The Alma diode tabletop laser with the pull-back accessory was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
The Alma diode tabletop laser with the pull-back accessory shares the same or similar indications for use, similar design features, and functional features with, and thus is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
