Intended Use

The ClearPath is intended to connect to standard colonoscopes to help facilitate intraprocedural cleaning of a poorly prepared colon by irrigating or cleaning the colon and evacuating the irrigation fluid (water) and feces. It is for use only by trained medical personnel located in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices.

Device Story

ClearPath is an external uterine monitor (colonoscope accessory) designed to improve colonoscopy reliability by cleaning poorly prepared colons. The device consists of a disposable irrigator attached to a standard colonoscope via silicon bands and a reusable control cabinet. The system uses a peristaltic pump to supply water for irrigation and utilizes the facility's standard wall vacuum system for the evacuation of irrigation fluid and feces. Operated by trained medical personnel in clinical settings, the device does not interfere with colonoscope functionality. By enabling rapid evacuation of debris, it helps prevent procedure cancellations and improves visualization for the physician, potentially benefiting the patient by reducing the need for repeat procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance specifications including flow rate, irrigation pressure, and vacuum pressure were compared against predicate devices. Compliance with electrical safety standards (IEC 60601, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-18) was verified.

Technological Characteristics

System comprises a disposable irrigator (silicon bands) and a reusable control cabinet with a peristaltic pump. Operates using facility wall vacuum (approx. 0.5 Bar). Irrigation flow rate up to 300 ml/min; pressure up to 30 Psi. Complies with IEC 60601, IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-2-18. Standalone operation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals undergoing procedures where a colonoscope is used, specifically to facilitate intra-procedural cleaning of a poorly prepared colon. For use by trained medical personnel in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices.

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.

The ClearPath utilizes a suction / irrigation head for the purpose of irrigating or cleaning the colon and enabling the rapid evacuation of large amounts of water and feces. The ClearPath is composed of two major units: - . The disposable Irrigator and - . the reusable Control cabinet. The disposable Irrigator is attached to a standard colonoscope by means of silicon bands and does not hinder colonoscope functionality nor affects the procedure sequence in any way. The Control cabinet supplies the water flow and vacuum control using a peristaltic pump. The standard medical facility vacuum system is the vacuum source. #### Indications for Use: The ClearPath is intended to connect to standard colonoscopes to help facilitate intra-procedural cleaning of a poorly prepared colon by irrigating or cleaning the colon and evacuating the irrigation fluid (water) and feces.
