Intended Use
The asap multiscope is intended to visualize the inside of the patient through a cannulated incision for diagnostic and surgical procedures, such as arthroplasty, nucleotomy, discec tomy, and foraminotomy.
Device Story
The asap multiscope is a rigid or semiflex-type multi-channel endoscope used for minimally invasive spinal surgery. It utilizes a rod lens system to transmit light and images from the operative site to an external video system. The device features a working channel for instruments and irrigation/suction channels. It is used by surgeons in clinical settings to perform procedures such as nucleotomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy. The device is inserted through standard working sheaths (cannulas). By providing direct visualization, it assists the surgeon in navigating internal structures, potentially reducing tissue trauma compared to open surgery. The device is compatible with standard endoscopic cameras and light systems via a snap coupler or smart lock connector.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing was conducted according to IEC 60601-2-18 (Medical Electrical Equipment - Particular Requirements for the Safety of Endoscopic Equipment). No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Rigid or semiflex-type multi-channel endoscope; surgical steel construction; rod lens optical system; working channel and irrigation/suction channels; snap coupler/smart lock connector for external camera/light source; non-sterile, validated for steam sterilization; compliant with IEC 60601-2-18.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring visualization of internal anatomy via cannulated incision for diagnostic and surgical procedures including arthroplasty, nucleotomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### 5.4 Description of Device
The asap multiscope is a rigid or semiflex-type multi-channel endoscope provided with a rod lens system to transmit light and images, a working channel and one or two irrigation channel(s) and stopcocks. The body consists of an outer and an inner tube of surgical steel. The light-carrying fibers are sandwiched between these tubes. The inner tube of the body contains the rod lens system, the working channel and the irrigation/suction channel(s). The eyepiece and light post are adaptable to standard endoscopic cameras and light systems. The endoscope is intended for use with standard working sheaths (cannulas) for minimally invasive access. Accessories include working sheaths, spinal needles, guide wire, dilators, trephine, hammers, trocars, forceps, and rongeurs, as well as cleaning brushes, a rubber sealing cap, spare O-rings, and a protection sheath.
### 5.5 Indications for Use
The asap multiscope is intended to visualize the inside of the patient through a cannulated incision for diagnostic and surgical procedures, such as arthroplasty, nucleotomy, discec tomy, and foraminotomy.

### 5.6 Technological Characteristics
The asap multiscope is a multi-channel endoscope used to visualize the operative site and provided with a working channel and irrigation channel(s). It is a rigid or semiflex-type endoscope consisting of three basic components through which light is projected into the operation site and a video image is produced on an external video . The asap multiscope has a snap coupler or smart lock connector enabling replacement of the eyepiece by a standard camera.
### Performance Data 5.7
Specifications and intended use of the asap multiscope are the same as those of the predicate devices. There are no significant differences between the asap multiscope and the predicates in design or usage conditions. Materials are identical to those of the predicate devices, ensuring high performance and biocompatibility.
The device will be sold non-sterile for steam sterilization by the user. The recommended cleaning and sterilization processes have been validated.
Performance testing was conducted according to the applicable sections of standard IEC 60601-2-18. Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 2: Particular Requirements for the Safety of Endoscopic Equipment.
### 5.8 Conclusions
The information provided in this 510(k) submission provides reasonable assurance that the asap multiscope is safe and effective and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with respect to intended use and technological characteristics.
