Indications for Use
The EC-3870CILK, Confocal Video Colonoscope, is intended to provide optical visualization (via a video monitor), (confocal) microscopic visualization of (via a video monitor), and therapeutic access to, the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract. The Lower Gastrointestinal Tract includes, but is not restricted to, the organs; tissues; and subsystems: Large Bowel. The instrument is introduced per rectally when indications consistent with the requirement for the procedure are observed in adult and pediatric patient populations.
Device Story
EC-3870CILK is a confocal video colonoscope used for lower GI tract visualization and therapy. Device inputs include white light for standard endoscopic imaging via CCD and laser light for confocal microscopic imaging via an integrated optical fiber scanner. The endoscope connects to a Pentax Video Processor and a Confocal Laser System. The system computer processes confocal signals, controls the laser source, and stores still images. Operated by physicians in clinical settings, the device provides real-time video and microscopic images on monitors. The confocal capability allows for high-resolution tissue visualization, aiding clinical decision-making during endoscopic procedures. The device includes a working channel for endoscopic accessories, such as biopsy forceps, facilitating therapeutic interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence determination based on bench testing and comparison of specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Flexible video colonoscope with integrated confocal laser scanning module. Features: CCD for video, optical fiber for laser transmission, working channel for accessories. Connectivity: PVE connector for video processor; confocal electrical connector for laser system. Energy: white light (processor) and laser light (confocal system). Immersible for cleaning.
Indications for Use
Indicated for optical and confocal microscopic visualization and therapeutic access to the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the large bowel, in adult and pediatric patients requiring such procedures.

Dear Mr. Borsai,
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 19, 2004.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

Device Description:
The EC-3870C1LK, Confocal Video Colonoscope, must be used with a Pentax Video Processor (software controlled device) and with Pentax Confocal Laser System (software controlled device). The endoscope has a Flexible Insertion Tube, a Control Body, PVE Umbilical Connector, and Confocal Electrical Connector. The PVE Connector connects to the Video Processor and has connections for illumination, video signals, air/water and suction. The Control Body includes controls for up/ down/ left/ right angulation, air/water delivery, suction selection/ control, and an accessory inlet port. The device contains light carrying bundles to illuminate the body cavity, a charge couple device (CCD) to collect image data, forward water jet tube, and a confocal scanner. The instrument contains a working channel through legally marketed endoscopic accessories may be introduced (the instrument is supplied with two biopsy forceps). The Video Processor contains a lamp that provides white light and is focused at the PVE Connector Lightguide Prong. The endoscope light carrying bundles present the light to the body cavity and the CCD collects color image data. Image data and other screen display information are formatted and presented to the video outputs of the Video Processor for display on the endoscopic image monitor. The endoscope confocal scanner contains an optical fiber that transmits laser light to, and receives return light from, the subject tissue. The confocal electrical connector is connected to the confocal laser system. The confocal laser system contains a laser light source which produces visible laser light and contains signal detection circuitry to transmit/ receive the light signals through the endoscope confocal imaging module. The detected signal is sent to the system computer. The System Computer processes the confocal image information for display on the confocal monitor, controls the laser light source, and acts as an image storage device for still frame images. The endoscope is immersable (with the use of supplied cleaning accessories).
Intended Use:
The EC-3870C1LK, Confocal Video Colonoscope, is intended to provide optical visualization (via a video monitor), (confocal) microscopic visualization of (via a video monitor), and therapeutic access to, the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract. The Lower Gastrointestinal Tract includes, but is not restricted to, the organs; tissues; and subsystems: Large Bowel. The instrument is introduced per rectally when indications consistent with the requirement for the procedure are observed in adult and pediatric patient populations.
Comparison To Predicated Device(s):
The submission for substantial equivalence included EC-3870C1LK literature including specifications, the identification of standard set components, and identification of optional accessories, comparison tables were provided to illustrate the comparisons to the predicated devices.
