Attaches to Omni Multiuse Handpiece via quick-connect mechanism. Proximal luer connector links suction/irrigation channel to external pump. Used by physicians in clinical settings to deliver laser energy for tissue interaction. Suction/irrigation feature allows simultaneous fluid management during laser procedures. Benefits include enhanced visualization and debris removal during surgery. ## Clinical Evidence Simulated clinical testing performed using heart tissue. Physician feedback utilized to validate clinical utility. No human clinical trial data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Fiber optic laser delivery system; stainless steel shaft; capillary tube; luer connector for suction/irrigation. Compatible with pulsed Holmium: YAG 2.1 micrometer lasers. Mechanical, biological, and performance testing conducted. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Trimedyne OmniTip™ Switchable Tips - Tapertip™ Holmium Arthroscopic Handpieces ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Device Name OmniTip™ Side Firing Switchable Tip with Suction/Irrigation Proprietary: Common: Laser Fiber Classification: Accessories to Laser-Powered Instrument (unclassified) ## Predicate Device III. The predicate devices are the Trimedyne OmniTip™ Switchable Tips and Tapertip™ Holmium Arthroscopic Handpieces. ## IV. Device Description The OmniTip Side Firing Switchable Tip with Suction/Irrigation is a fiber optic energy delivery device consisting of a near-contact laser fiber enclosed in a needle assembly of a capillary tube and an external stainless steel shaft. The device is attached to the Omni Multiuse Handpiece through a quick-connect mechanism. A luer connector assembly installed at the proximal end of the device connects the suction/irrigation channel to a pump via an external line. {1}------------------------------------------------ ### V. Intended Use This device is intended for use with any Holmium laser (with a compatible connector) for its cleared applications. ### VI. Technological Characteristics The device differs from the predicate devices due mainly only to the incorporation of suction/irrigation channel and minor configuration changes. #### VII. Nonclinical Tests The device was subjected to a series of tests, including mechanical, biological, and performance studies. ### VIII. Clinical Tests The device was subjected to a simulated clinical testing using heart tissue. A physician's feedback is also used to validate the use of the device in a clinical setting. # IX. Conclusions Drawn from Testing The device is biocompatible, performs as intended, and has acceptable mechanical properties when used according to its labeling. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.

Box 57001 Irvine, California 92619 K992230 Re: > Trade Name: OmniTip™ Side Firing Switchable Tip with Suction/Irrigation Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GEX, GCX, and GBX Dated: July 1, 1999 Received: July 2, 1999 Dear Ms. Gamble: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
