What It Is

The Eagle Laser Surgical Neodymium Doped Yttrium is a laser device used in surgical procedures to cut, ablate, or coagulate tissue. It operates by emitting a concentrated beam of light that can be precisely controlled, allowing for minimal damage to surrounding tissues. This makes it particularly useful in delicate surgeries where precision is paramount.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • Use in surgical procedures requiring laser cutting, tissue ablation, or coagulation.
  • Use by trained medical professionals when precise delivery of laser energy to tissue is required.

Clinical Applications

  • Laser treatment of tissue during surgical procedures.
  • Coagulation of tissue to control bleeding during surgery.
  • Ablation or removal of targeted tissue under direct visualization or imaging guidance.
  • Use in hospital operating rooms and specialized outpatient surgical settings.

Reported off-label uses

  • The available FDA record does not establish additional specific off-label applications for this device model.

Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations

  • The device requires operation by personnel trained in surgical laser safety and the specific system.
  • Appropriate laser-rated eye protection is required for everyone in the treatment area.
  • The laser system and accessories must be compatible with the intended procedure, wavelength, delivery method, and tissue target.
  • The record does not provide a standardized range of device sizes; configuration depends on the system and accessories supplied.
  • MRI safety is not established in the available record. Treat the system and its accessories as MR-unsafe or conditionally safe only after checking the manufacturer's labeling.
