Indications for Use

The Imalux OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Probe Sheath is a sterile, single-use, protective sheath for use as an accessory with the Imalux OCT Imaging System. The Probe Sheath is intended to serve as a microbial barrier between the probe and the patient's tissue, helping to prevent the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material to the patient and healthcare worker during reuse of the probe.

Device Story

Imalux OCT Probe Sheath is a sterile, single-use protective accessory for the Imalux OCT Imaging System. Device consists of rigid tubing, a flexible end-cap membrane window, and a plastic handle with a lock nut. The OCT probe is inserted through the handle and tubing until the distal tip is flush with the membrane window. The pliable membrane allows optical imaging without requiring additional coupling gel. Used in clinical settings to prevent transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulates between patient and healthcare worker during probe reuse. The sheath acts as a physical microbial barrier; it does not alter the imaging system's function. Benefits include enabling safe reuse of the OCT probe while maintaining sterility and patient safety.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity, intracutaneous reactivity, sensitization). Sterilization validated for ethylene oxide to SAL 10^-6. Microbial barrier testing confirmed prevention of transmission of a 25-27 nm challenge virus. Mechanical verification confirmed tensile strength and imaging performance integrity.

Technological Characteristics

Rigid tubing with flexible end-cap membrane and plastic handle. Materials evaluated for biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Sterilization via 100% ethylene oxide. Packaging: Tyvek/Mylar pouches. No electronic or software components; purely mechanical protective accessory.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a microbial barrier between the Imalux OCT Imaging System probe and patient tissue (intact skin, mucosal membranes, or breached surfaces) to prevent cross-contamination during probe reuse. Applicable for surface and tissue-communicating contact of limited duration (<24 hours).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A surgical drape and drape accessories is a device made of natural or synthetic materials intended to be used as a protective patient covering, such as to isolate a site of surgical incision from microbial and other contamination. The device includes a plastic wound protector that may adhere to the skin around a surgical incision or be placed in a wound to cover its exposed edges, and a latex drape with a self-retaining finger cot that is intended to allow repeated insertion of the surgeon's finger into the rectum during performance of a transurethral prostatectomy.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an ear, nose, and throat surgical drape, a latex sheet drape with self-retaining finger cot, a disposable urological drape, a Kelly pad, an ophthalmic patient drape, an ophthalmic microscope drape, an internal drape retention ring (wound protector), or a surgical drape that does not include an antimicrobial agent, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 878.9.

The Imalux OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Probe Sheaths (Probe Sheaths) are sterile, single-use, protective sheaths for use with the Imalux OCT Imaging System. The sheaths are provided to fit the Imalux OCT Imaging System probe geometry and to help to prevent the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and material to the patient and healthcare worker during reuse of the Probe. The Probe Sheath does not impair the imaging performance of the Imalux OCT Imaging System. Adequate coupling between the Probe Sheath and the probe's distal end can be achieved without the use of an additional medium, such as gel, due to the pliability of the membrane window material. #### Design 2. The Probe Sheath is constructed of rigid tubing with a flexible end cap membrane window at one end and with a plastic handle at the other end. The probe is inserted into the tubing at the handle and fed through the tubing until the probe's distal tip is flush with the Probe Sheath's membrane window. The handle includes a lock nut to secure the probe in place. The Probe Sheath is provided in various dimensional configurations necessary to accommodate the probe as well as to assist the user in probe positioning. Probe Sheaths are provided as sterile, single-use sheaths, individually packaged in Tyvek/Mylar pouches. #### Materials 3. The Probe Sheath is constructed of commonly used medical device materials and has been evaluated for biocompatibility. This evaluation has demonstrated that the Probe Sheath is safe for its intended use. The intended use and indications for use place the Probe Sheath in the device body contact categories as follows: - a. surface devices, intact skin / mucosal membranes / breached surfaces, limited contact duration (<24 hours) - b. external communicating devices, tissue communicating, limited contact duration (<24 hours) {2}------------------------------------------------ #### Intended Üse E. The Imalux OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Probe Sheath is a sterile, single-use, protective sheath for use as an accessory with the Imalux OCT Imaging System. The Probe Sheath is intended to serve as a microbial barrier between the probe and the patient's tissue, helping to prevent the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material to the patient and healthcare worker during reuse of the probe. The Imalux OCT Probe Sheath is substantially equivalent in safety and performance to the CIVCO Synthetic Polyisoprene Ultrasound Transducer Cover and to the Vision-Sciences EndoSheaths (Section C). #### Safety & Performance F. To assure the safety of the device, the Probe Sheath was tested for biocompatibility per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993 for cytotoxicity, acute systemic toxicity, intracuteanous reactivity, sensitization, and ethylene oxide sterilization residuals. Testing was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-Part 1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1, and FDA-Good Laboratory Practices 21 CFR Part 58 (GLP). These tests demonstrated that the Probe Sheath device is non-toxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and can be safely sterilized with ethylene oxide. The Probe Sheath was verified for imaging, mechanical, and packaging performance. The Probe Sheath's materials and design have been shown to not impair the optical imaging performance of the Imalux OCT Imaging System. Mechanical verification of the Sheath, such as tensile strength, demonstrated that the Probe Sheath's distal end will withstand normal use. Microbial barrier testing demonstrated that the Probe Sheath was carable of preventing the transmission of a challenge virus with a diameter of 25-27 nanometers (nm), smaller than most clinically claimeter (1 22 to a detection limit of less than 5.5 x 107 milliliters (mL) of challenge virus suspension. The Probe Sheath, individually packaged in its Tyvek/Mylar package, was successfully sterilized with 100% ethylene oxide. The sterilization was seconding broad and verified to provide a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10 . In addition, the Tyvek/Mylar package was verified for strength and integrity. {3}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white circular seal.
