The device was evaluated and found to be operating as intended within specification.Cynosure's clinical team investigated the event and determined it was inconclusive.A full thickness burn with exposed subcutaneous tissue and significant peri-wound edema observed.Cynosure's medical director, dr.(b)(4), expects permanent scarring once healed.Per dr.(b)(4): patient can seek microneedling or non ablative fractional laser resurfacing for scar management.Root cause as to why the patient experienced burns is unknown and since there is no issues with the device and clinical investigation was inconclusive, cynosure will continue to monitor such complaints.Patient was given bacitracin ointment as preventative medication.Based on the labeling materials and risk review, burns are expected side effects from laser treatments in general, however this event is reportable because the patient experienced permanent injury.
