What It Is

The Indigo Medical Model IDL 830 Laser is a laser system designed for use in gynecological procedures. It operates by emitting a specific wavelength of light that can precisely target and treat tissue. This device is particularly useful for procedures requiring tissue ablation or coagulation, providing a minimally invasive option for clinicians.

FDA-Cleared Indications

  • General gynecological applications requiring laser ablation or coagulation of tissue.

Clinical Applications

  • Laser ablation of gynecological tissue when clinically indicated.
  • Laser coagulation of gynecological tissue to control or reduce bleeding.
  • Use during gynecological procedures performed by appropriately trained clinicians in a hospital, clinic, or outpatient setting.

Practical Considerations

  • The FDA record identifies a general gynecological indication but does not provide detailed treatment parameters, tissue targets, or procedure-specific settings.
  • Laser wavelength, power, pulse duration, and delivery accessories should be selected according to the system labeling, the procedure, and clinician training.
  • The system requires laser-safety precautions, including appropriate protective eyewear, controlled access to the treatment area, and management of combustible materials.
  • Confirm compatibility with the intended handpiece, fiber, or other delivery accessory before use.
  • The FDA record does not establish MRI compatibility; the system and all accessories should be kept out of the MRI environment unless the manufacturer provides specific MR labeling.
