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.

# Indications for Use:
The Flexilux II Cystoscope is - like the predicate device - used to permit direct viewing of the male urethra, prostate, and bladder for purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures.
The Flexilux II Hysteroscope is - like the predicate device - used to illuminate and visualize the cervical canal and the uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures.
#### Product Description:
The Flexilux II Hysteroscope and Cystoscope (herein after; Flexilux II Endoscope) are rigid type endoscopes with traditional compact objectives and rod-lens system.
The basic design of the Flexilux II Endoscope is similar to those legally available for sale in the U.S.A... It consists of an eyepiece and the body with light guide and rod-lens system. The body is designed of an outer and an inner tube of surgical stainless steel. The light carrying fibers are sandwiched between these tubes. The inner tube of the body contains the rod-lens system.
# Safety and Performance:
The specifications and intended use of the Flexilux II Endoscope is the same to those of the claimed predicate devices. There are no significant differences between the Flexilux II Endoscope and the claimed predicates in design or conditions of intended use.

The Flexilux II Endoscope is constructed of materials of the same specifications as the The Flexilux II Endoscope conforms to predicate devices to ensure biocompatibility. applicable ISO standards.
The device will be sold non-sterilized prior to each procedure by the user. Substantial equivalence for this device was based on a comparison of labeling, physical and performance design characteristics as compared to the predicate devices, as well as on the results of testing to establish compliance with the standards for medical endoscopes and medical electrical equipment (DIN 58105; IEC 60601-2-18).
# Conclusion:
In all respects, the Flexilux II Endoscope is substantially equivalent to one or more rigid endoscopes currently marketed in the USA. It is constructed of materials of the same specifications as the predicate devices to ensure biocompatibility and it conforms to applicable ISO standards.

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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows a circular logo with the text "1906-2006" at the top. Below the text is a large "FDA" abbreviation. The word "Centennial" is written below the abbreviation. The logo is surrounded by text that is difficult to read due to the image quality.
