DABRA Laser (RA-308 Excimer Laser) Intended Use: For use in ablating a channel in occlusive peripheral vascular disease. Indications: For crossing chronic total occlusions in patients with symptomatic infrainguinal lower extremity vascular disease.

Class I - Dangerous

Due to footswitch not meeting required specification for protection from ingress of solids or liquids. If spilling of liquids near or on the footswitch, it may fail in the 'on' position and allow the laser to continue to lase.

DABRA Laser (RA-308 Excimer Laser). The DABRA Laser and DABRA Catheter is an excimer laser ultraviolet light source and delivery system, collectively the DABRA Laser System". The system is designed to deliver the energy to the surgical site to ablate unwanted material. The optical conduit is used in conjunction with existing endovascular accessories and tools to complete a surgical procedure. The software is programmed onto an EEPROM chip, which is a component of the DABRA Excimer Laser RA-308 system. Catheter for crossing total occlusions in vascular system.

Class I - Dangerous

A software issue was identified which could result in user or patient injury, or may adversely impact laser performance. It is possible that an unintended release of laser light (radiation) may occur, injuring the user or patient.

Pharos Excimer Laser, Model: EX-308 - Product Usage: The Pharos EX-308 Excimer Laser System is designed to treat the skin disorders psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and leukoderma using phototherapy. The excimer laser system produces collimated 308 nm radiation, within the invisible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The UV radiation falls within the range of ultraviolet B (UVB), which is used to treat photo-responsive skin disorders.

Class I - Dangerous

At doses of less than 100 mJ, in custom and auto repeat modes, a software error in the excimer laser phototherapy system causes the device to fail to cease firing as long as the foot pedal or handpiece switch is depressed. This malfunction can cause overtreatment, which could result in strong erythema, and possibly cause blisters.

The DABRA Laser (model RA-308) is designed to provide ultraviolet laser energy endovascularly through a catheter to occluded lesions in the peripheral arteries to cross them. The system is a self-contained unit that consists of a light source unit and a single use catheter. The light source contains a microprocessor with software to provide safety features and a user-friendly interface. The laser operates by producing a high current discharge within a chamber that is filled with rare gases and halogen. The discharge produces pulses of UV light, which is amplified by reflecting the energy within the resonating chamber many times. The output is directed to the desired target location by the catheter. A footswitch connected to the light source controls the laser action.

Class I - Dangerous

Lasers/Catheters did not calibrate during set-up prior to use.
