#### Device Description
The Stryker Video Ureteroscope is a flexible ureteroscope with a video sensor mounted on the distal tip, which provides the user visualization of the anatomy of the kidney and other urological structures. The bending section is controlled by the user with an articulation lever, to provide control of the position of the sensor. An integrated working channel provides the user the ability to introduce diagnostic or therapeutic instruments into the operative site. A light emitting diode is mounted internally in the handle and is connected to the light fibers that are integrated into the scope, which emit light from the distal tip of the scope, providing.illumination of anatomy. The Video Ureteroscope is powered and controlled by a console, which also provides video output to displays, capture devices, and other accessories.
### Intended Use/Indications for Use
The Stryker Video Ureteroscope is designed to be used with a Stryker video system, monitor and other accessories for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment within the urethra, bladder, ureter, and kidney.
#### Technological Comparison
{1}------------------------------------------------
stryker®
#### Endoscopy
The Stryker Video Ureteroscope employs the same technological characteristics as the predicate device. The device consists of a flexible working length attached to a handle containing an articulation lever and mechanism, allowing for the user to deflect the distal portion of the ureteroscope. The distal tip contains a video sensor and light fibers as well as the distal opening of the working channel through which patient fluids and materials can be passed. Both video ureteroscopes require the use of a powered console that processes video signals for display on an external monitor. The device is powered by the control console (Flexible Control Unit, or FCU). There is a single cable that connects the video ureteroscope to the console. The predicate device requires a separate light source with fiber optic cable to provide illumination, whereas the Stryker Video Ureteroscope contains an integrated LED light source that allows for visualization. However, the fundamental technology is the same, since light fibers carry the illumination through the scope, where it is emitted at the distal tip. The Stryker Video Ureteroscope's control unit's video output can be connected to documentation devices for video or photographic records, in a similar fashion to the predicate device's compatibility with Olympus' documentation devices.
#### Performance Testing
The Stryker Video Ureteroscope was tested for performance in accordance with design specifications and with the applicable performance standards. Biocompatibility was verified per ISO 10993-1:2009/Cor 1:2010 for patient contacting materials. Software was developed, tested, and verified per FDA guidance documents as well as IEC 62304:2006. Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility were verified by testing to IEC 60601-1:1988/A1:1991/A2:1995 and IEC 60601-1-2:2007, respectively.
Bench performance testing performed on the Stryker Video Ureteroscope verifies the safety and effectiveness of the device per design specifications and acceptance criteria. Testing was performed to determine field of view, resolution, articulation performance, light output. leak integrity and other requirements based on the ISO 8600 family of standards. Please see Sec. 12 for a list of applied standards.
## Conclusion
The submitted information in this premarket notification is complete, and based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, performance testing and comparison to predicate devices, the Stryker Video Ureteroscope raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness.
