Questions
What types of surgical procedures is the Cooper Medical Model 770 Argon Laser Surgical System primarily used for?
The Cooper Medical Model 770 is designed for neurosurgical and gastrointestinal procedures where precise tissue ablation, coagulation, or vaporisation is required. Its coherent light emission at specific wavelengths allows for controlled surgical interventions in these specialized areas.
Is the Cooper Medical Model 770 a single-use or reusable device?
The Cooper Medical Model 770 is supplied as a reusable medical device, meaning it is intended for repeated use in controlled surgical environments after proper cleaning, maintenance, and sterilization procedures.
How was the regulatory clearance for this device obtained, and what does that mean for its use?
The Cooper Medical Model 770 received FDA clearance through a 510(k) Traditional review process (K833497) and is classified as Substantially Equivalent (SESE) to a predicate device. This means the FDA determined it has the same intended use and technological characteristics as a previously cleared device, allowing it to be legally marketed in the U.S. under Class III regulatory classification.
Can this device be used in an MRI environment, and if not, why?
No, the Cooper Medical Model 770 is not classified as MRI-safe or MRI-conditional, meaning it should not be used in an MRI environment. This is explicitly stated in the device’s specifications, as its design and materials may interfere with MRI compatibility.
