FDA status & indications

FDA status & indications: Candela CO2RE vs DEKA SmartXide Tetra PRO (CoolPeel)
Attribute	Candela CO2RE	DEKA SmartXide Tetra PRO (CoolPeel)
FDA status & indication	FDA record cited — see scopeK151655, K181523 Record scope: K181523 names the CO2RE Laser System and includes separate standard, fractional and surgical handpiece indications. K151655 is the earlier cited platform record. Included handpieces and applicable labeling determine scope; a platform clearance is not a statement that every accessory is supplied. Read FDA indication wording “The CO2RE is indicated for use in surgical applications requiring the ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in medical specialties including: aesthetic surgery (dermatology and plastic surgery), podiatry, gynecology, neurosurgery, orthopedics (soft tissue), arthroscopy (knee). The CO2RE is indicated for dermatological procedures requiring ablation, coagulation and resurfacing of soft tissue, including skin. The Standard Handpiece of the CO2RE System is indicated for the following: Dermatology & Plastic Surgery The ablation, vaporization, excision, incision, and coagulation of soft tissue in dermatology and plastic surgery in the performance of: x laser skin resurfacing x laser dermabrasion x laser burn debridement. Laser skin resurfacing (ablation and/or vaporization) for the treatment of: x wrinkles, rhytids, and furrows (including fines lines and texture irregularities) Clinical literature demonstrates that skin resurfacing of wrinkles, rhytids, and furrows with CO2 laser increases the amount of sub-epidermal collagen.”	FDA record cited — see scopeK240497, K172362 Record scope: K240497 explicitly names SMARTXIDE TETRA PRO. CoolPeel is a marketed treatment mode, not a separate indication established by this record. Outcomes and recovery depend on the selected settings and patient. Read FDA indication wording “Incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of body soft tissue including intraoral tissue, in medical specialities including aesthetic (dermatology and plastic surgery), otolaryngology (ENT), gynaecology, neurosurgery, dental and oral surgery and genitourinary surgery. The use with the scanning unit is indicated for ablative skin resurfacing.”
