Intended Use

The Vision-Sciences Trans-Nasal Esophagoscope with EndoSheath® System is indicated for use in endoscopic access and examination of the larynx, esophagus and gastro-esophageal junction. The System may also be used to assist in intubation.

Device Story

System comprises flexible fiberoptic esophagoscope and sterile, single-use protective EndoSheath®; provides endoscopic visualization of larynx, esophagus, and gastro-esophageal junction; assists in intubation. Sheath slides over scope to provide microbial barrier; no vacuum/pressure source required for installation. Used in clinical settings by physicians; provides direct visualization via fiberoptic pathway. Sheath protects scope from patient contact, reducing reprocessing requirements. Benefits include efficient access and examination of upper GI tract and airway.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included sheath burst/leak testing, sheath tensile/elongation testing, sheathed scope articulation testing, sheathed scope image quality evaluation, and scope cycle testing.

Technological Characteristics

Flexible fiberoptic esophagoscope with thermoplastic elastomer single-use sheath. Sheath wall thickness 0.002". Scope working length 685 mm; insertion tube OD 3.6 mm (un-sheathed) / 4.8 mm (sheathed). Articulation 180°/90°. Field of view 90°. Microbial barrier provided by sheath. No working channel. Manual installation (slide-on).

Indications for Use

Indicated for endoscopic access and examination of the larynx, esophagus, and gastro-esophageal junction; may assist in intubation. Patient population not explicitly defined by age or gender.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An esophagoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the esophagoscope and is intended to examine or treat esophageal malfunction symptoms, esophageal or mediastinal disease, or to remove foreign bodies from the esophagus. When inserted, the device extends from the area of the hypopharynx to the stomach. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the flexible foreign body claw, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy forceps and flexible biopsy curette, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.
