The Straight Fire Holmium Laser Fiber is designed for use with holmium (Ho:YAG) lasers with a standard.SMA-905 connector that have been cleared for surgical use. ## Device Story AccuMax Straight Fire Holmium Laser Fiber is a fiber optic delivery system for Ho:YAG laser energy. Device connects to cleared holmium lasers via standard SMA-905 connector. Used by surgeons in endoscopic, laparoscopic, or open surgical settings. Fiber transmits laser energy to target site for vaporization, ablation, fragmentation of calculi, or soft/cartilaginous tissue management (coagulation, hemostasis, excision, resection, incision). Device facilitates precise energy delivery to anatomical targets, enabling minimally invasive surgical interventions. Benefits include effective tissue/calculi management through established laser surgical techniques. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Fiber optic delivery system; utilizes standard SMA-905 connector for compatibility with Ho:YAG surgical lasers. Designed for transmission of laser energy for tissue and calculi interaction. No electronic components or software. ## Regulatory 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. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
