Intended Use

The 7 mm Extended Length Endoscope is intended for visualization of a surgical working cavity in minimally invasive surgery allowing access for vessel harvesting, and is primarily indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic vessel harvesting for arterial bypass. It is indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery requiring tissue separation of the extraperitoneal or subcutaneous extremity and thoracic space. Extremity procedures include tissue dissection/ vessel harvesting along the saphenous vein and the femoral vessels. Thoracoscopic procedures include exposure and dissection of structures external to the parietal pleura, including nerves, blood vessels and other tissues of the chest wall.

Device Story

7 mm Extended Length Endoscope provides illumination and visualization during minimally invasive surgery; features elongated shaft with glass fibers for light delivery and achromatic optical lens system for image return. Distal shaft includes window for viewing and threads for attachment of Dissection Tip; proximal hub includes light guide post and eyepiece for camera coupler attachment. Used by surgeons in OR; Dissection Tip enables blunt tissue separation; tip removable post-dissection to allow continued visualization. Device facilitates vessel harvesting and tissue dissection in extremity and thoracic procedures; benefits patient via minimally invasive access.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Rigid endoscope; glass fiber illumination; achromatic optical lens system. Features threaded distal shaft for removable dissection tip. Materials identical to predicate devices. Standalone optical device; no electronic or software components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic vessel harvesting for arterial bypass, or requiring endoscopic tissue separation/vessel harvesting of extraperitoneal, subcutaneous extremity, or thoracic spaces. Includes saphenous vein/femoral vessel dissection and thoracoscopic exposure of chest wall structures (nerves, blood vessels).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.

Special Controls

*Classification* —(1)*Class II (special controls).* The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Contact Person Anne Schlagenhaft Regulatory Affairs Associate #### C. Date Prepared December 4, 2001 #### D. Device Name Trade Name: 7 mm Extended Length Endoscope Classification Name: Endoscope and accessories #### ய் Device Description The 7 mm Extended Length Endoscope consists of an elongated shaft that houses glass fibers for light delivery and an achromatic optical lens system (enclosed within the shaft and proximal hub) for image return. The distal shaft has a window for viewing and threads for attachment of the Dissection Tip. The proximal hub has a light guide post for attachment of light guides and an eyepiece with a clear viewing window for attachment of medical camera couplers. The Endoscope provides illumination and visualization of the working space during tissue dissection, vessel ligation, and vessel transection. With the Dissection Tip attached, the Endoscope is used to perform blunt dissection to separate tissue. The distal tip of the {1}------------------------------------------------ Endoscope has threads on the scope body for attachment of the Dissection Tip. The Dissection Tip may be removed once dissection is completed so that the Endoscope can continue to be used for visualization of a procedure. #### Intended Use r. The 7 mm Extended Length Endoscope is intended for visualization of a surgical working cavity in minimally invasive surgery allowing access for vessel harvesting, and is primarily indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic vessel harvesting for arterial bypass. It is indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery requiring tissue separation of the extraperitoneal or subcutaneous extremity and thoracic space. Extremity procedures include tissue dissection/ vessel harvesting along the saphenous vein and the femoral vessels. Thoracoscopic procedures include exposure and dissection of structures external to the parietal pleura, including nerves, blood vessels and other tissues of the chest wall. #### G. Substantial Equivalence The 7 mm Extended Length Endoscope with Dissection Tip is substantially equivalent to the 5mm Endoscope, cleared by the Food and Drug Administration under K960637 on June 14, 1996, and the VasoView™ Dissection Cannula, K981700, cleared on February 18, 1998. The design of the 7 mm Extended Length Endoscope with Dissection Tip is identical to the current Endoscope with a thicker scope body wall and incorporation of the dissection cone of the VasoView Dissection Cannula. The subject device is composed of materials that are identical to the currently marketed devices. The 7 mm Extended Length Endoscope is substantially equivalent in intended use, materials, manufacturing processes, technological characteristics, and components to the current devices. #### Device Testing Results and Conclusion H. All necessary testing was performed on the 7 mm Extended Length Endoscope with Dissection Tip to ensure that the product is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and that the modifications do not affect safety and effectiveness. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
