Indications for Use

The Umeco OPTIMA 694 system is intended for the use in the removal of blue/black tattoos and benign pigmented lesions in dermatology and plastic surgery.

Device Story

The Umeco OPTIMA 694 is a Ruby laser system used in dermatology and plastic surgery for tattoo and pigmented lesion removal. It consists of an optical cavity with a Ruby laser rod, flashlamps, and a red helium-neon aiming beam. The system delivers light at 694 nm with a 20-nanosecond pulsewidth via an articulated arm and focusing handpiece in non-contact mode. It features an internal closed-loop water-air heat exchanger for thermal control. The device is operated by clinicians. The laser energy is absorbed by tattoo ink or melanin, allowing for precise tissue action. The system includes an electronic power supply and interface circuitry.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and performance specifications compared to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Ruby laser system; 694 nm wavelength; 20 ns pulsewidth; 2.2 Joules max output; articulated arm delivery; focusing handpiece; internal closed-loop water-air heat exchanger; Class I aiming beam; non-contact operation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the removal of blue/black tattoos and benign pigmented lesions in dermatology and plastic surgery patients.

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.

Callery of the final of the final of the finalisting of the finalismes of the finalisting of the finalisting of the finalismes of the finalisting of the formation of the fo ## General Information and Description The Umeco OPTIMA 694 system is based on an optical cavity containing a Ruby laser rod. which is activated by means of the use of flashlamps. After the cavity, a red helium neon aiming beam is reflected onto a coaxial beam path using a beamsplitter assembly. The combined therapuetic and aiming beams are guided down an articulated arm delivery system to a focusing handpiece. The laser is used in non-contact mode. The System is capable of emitting up to 2.2 Joules of light at 694 nm, with a nomimal pulsewidth of 20 nanoseconds. The laser is intended to be used for intended for the removal of blue/black tattoos and benign pigmented lesions in dermatology and plastic surgery. The Ruby laser system is designed with 3 major sub-systems: - a) An articulated arm delivery system terminated in a focusing handpiece. - b) An electronic power supply and interface circuitry. - c} An optical chamber containing laser rod and laser cavity optics. No accessories are available for use with the OPTIMA 694 ruby laser system. ## Summary of Substantial Equivalence Umeco believes that its OPTIMA 694 Ruby laser is substantially equivalent to the Derma-Lase DLR-1 and Spectrum RD 1200 Ruby laser systems. The Derma-Lase DLR-1 and Spectrum RD 1200 Ruby laser systems are both intended for the removal of blue/black tattoos and benign pigmented lesions. They therefore have the same Intended Use as the its OPTIMA 694 Ruby laser system. All three lasers emit at a wavelength of 694nm, a wavelength which is highly absorbed in the ink comprising blue/black tattoos and in the naturally occurring melaning comprising benign pigmented. All three lasers are therefore absorbed in an equally small volume of tissue, allowing for very precise action on the target tissue components. All three lasers have a nominal pulsewidth in the range 20-30 nanoseconds and therefore realize similar peak power with minimal thermal conduction during the pulse. All three lasers offer a range of available spotsizes with diameter in the range 4 - 8 mm. {3}------------------------------------------------ All three lasers utilize an articulated arm delivery system for maximum flexibility and reliability. Both lasers utilize class I aiming beams which pose no hazard to the user. . All three systems utilize an internal closed loop water-air hear exchanger circuit for optimal thermal control of the laser cavity. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services USA. The seal is circular, with the words "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES • USA" arranged around the perimeter. In the center of the seal is a stylized image of three human profiles facing right, with flowing lines representing hair or water. The overall design is simple and symbolic, representing the department's focus on health and human well-being.
