HS-298 / HS-298E: Complete Buyer's Guide
analytics Quick Specifications
Specification note: Published values can vary by handpiece/configuration. Verify the exact quoted HS-298 or HS-298E configuration, output testing, accessories and regulatory documentation before purchase.
Wavelengths
The HS-298 / HS-298E family uses a dual-wavelength picosecond Nd:YAG architecture with 1064 nm and frequency-doubled 532 nm output. The 1064 nm channel provides the deeper-wavelength option, while 532 nm provides the shorter visible wavelength option for appropriate pigment targets.
The supplied 2026 profile identifies these two wavelengths as the platform's core output and notes that the system does not provide dedicated 755, 785, 730, 694, 650 or 585 nm channels.
Laser Technology
The PicoFusion HS-298 is a solid-state picosecond Nd:YAG platform operating at 1064 nm with frequency-doubled 532 nm output. The supplied documentation specifies 300–500 ps pulse duration across the zoom, MLA and DOE delivery configurations.
The platform includes a 2–10 mm zoom handpiece, with optional 10 mm MLA and 6 mm DOE delivery. Published features also include a flat-top beam, red diode aiming beam, and air/water cooling.
Regulatory Status
The supplied September 2026 buyer profile states that the specifically named HS-298 received FDA 510(k) clearance K260017 on April 9, 2026. The clearance is associated with the Picosecond Nd:YAG Laser System under the General/Plastic Surgery panel and product code GEX.
The related HS-298E appears in manufacturer and export-market materials, but the supplied profile notes that the April 2026 FDA clearance specifically names HS-298. Buyers should therefore verify the exact model appearing on the quote and regulatory documentation.
Treatment Applications
- Tattoo removal using the available 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths.
- Benign pigmentation treatment within the applicable cleared use.
- Fractional delivery workflows using the optional MLA and DOE optics.
Buyer caution: The supplied executive summary specifically warns that vascular, scar, wrinkle and rejuvenation marketing claims extend beyond the stated FDA clearance. Those claims should not be treated as FDA-cleared indications without independent verification.
Approximate Pricing
Published US Market Price
Approximate/reference pricing stated in the September 2026 buyer profile. Confirm the exact quoted configuration, accessories, installation, shipping, training, warranty and service coverage before purchase.
Pre-Owned Market
Reliable secondary-market pricing was not established in the supplied source. Evaluate service history, output testing, ownership history, remaining warranty and availability of replacement parts.
Who Might Consider This Platform?
HS-298 may appeal to a cost-conscious tattoo-removal or pigment-focused practice seeking FDA-cleared 1064/532 nm output, high 1064 nm pulse energy, broad spot-size control and optional fractional optics.
The supplied 2026 assessment identifies the strongest purchase case as a specifically labeled HS-298 supplied through a responsible U.S. channel with documented import status, installation, clinical training, output testing, parts inventory and enforceable warranty coverage.
The platform's relatively short U.S. market history means buyers should place particular emphasis on service infrastructure, parts availability, warranty terms and long-term reliability evidence.
