Intended Use
The OmniGuide BeamPath® Fiber Optic HandPiece System and Sterilization Tray is indicated for use in conjunction with OmniGuide's waveguide fibers to enable the surgeon to perform incision, excision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of body soft tissues including intra-oral tissues. It is indicated in the medical specialties of general and plastic surgery, oral/maxillofacial surgery, dentistry, dermatology, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology, gastroenterology, neurosurgery, urology, and pulmonology.
Device Story
Hand-held surgical instrument designed to stabilize surgeon hand motion and provide precision control during laser surgery. Device accepts OmniGuide waveguide fibers inserted through proximal end; fiber tip extends from distal tip. Surgeon operates device like a pencil; advances tip near target tissue to perform incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, or coagulation. Operates in contact or non-contact modes; distal tip facilitates tissue manipulation. Used in clinical settings (OR, clinic) by physicians across multiple specialties. Output is laser energy delivered to tissue; healthcare provider observes tissue effect directly to guide procedure. Benefits include enhanced precision and stability for laser-based soft tissue management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance characteristics evaluated via bench top testing and compared to predicate devices. Device uses same technology and intended use as predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Handpiece and sealing cap made of stainless steel or aluminum; silicone rubber fiber gripper; stainless steel hypodermic tubing lumen. Tip may be beveled or straight. Manual operation; no energy source internal to handpiece (passive delivery system for external laser).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue incision, excision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation across specialties including general/plastic surgery, oral/maxillofacial surgery, dentistry, dermatology, gynecology, ENT, gastroenterology, neurosurgery, urology, and pulmonology.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
(1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.

#### Description:
The OmniGuide BeamPath® Fiber Optic HandPiece System and Sterilization Tray is indicated for use in conjunction with OmniGuide's waveguide fibers.
The objectives of the hand-piece are to enable precision control and to stabilize surgeon hand motion. The waveguide fiber is inserted through the proximal end of the hand-piece and fixated so that it is observed at the hand-piece's distal tip. The surgeon wields the hand-piece as a pencil, and advances the hand-piece so that its distal tip is in close proximity to the target tissue to exert the desired effect of the waveguide fiber: incision. excision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation. The surgeon may use the hand-piece distal tip in either non-contact mode or contact mode, and may use the distal tip to enable tissue manipulation.
The sterilization tray is purchased from SYMMETRY MEDICAL USA INC. and sold as a storage and sterilization tray for use with the OmniGuide Fiber Optic Handpieces,
#### Intended Use:
The OmniGuide BeamPath® Fiber Optic HandPiece System and Sterilization Tray is indicated for use in conjunction with OmniGuide's waveguide fibers to enable the surgeon to perform incision, excision, ablation, vaporization and coagulation of body soft tissues including intra-oral tissues. It is indicated in the medical specialties of general and plastic surgery, oral/maxillofacial surgery, dentistry, dermatology, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology, gastroenterology, neurosurgery, urology, and pulmonology.
#### Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The handpieces consist of a handle and sealing cap consisting of either SS or aluminum, a silicone rubber fiber gripper and a lumen to guide the fiber made of SS hypodermic tubing. The handle/lumen are welded or adhesive bonded to for the unit. Lumen may be bent or straight to facilitate the aiming of the fiber. The tip is may be beveled or straight to improve the fiber visibility, fiber tip protection and blunt dissection.
#### Performance Data:
Non-clinical Performance Data: OmniGuide BeamPath® Fiber Optic HandPiece System and Sterilization Tray performance characteristics have been evaluated through testing and bench top testing. The handpieces are used to allow the physician to manipulate the flexible fiber through a surgical endoscope . The performance of the OmniGuide BeamPath® Fiber Optic HandPiece and similar related parameters of predicate device are comparable.
Clinical Performance Data: Formal clinical trials were not deemed necessary as the device is using the same technology and intended use as predicate device.
Conclusions Drawn from Tests and Analysis: The intended use and major performance parameters of the OmniGuide BeamPath® Fiber Optic HandPiece System and
