Intended Use
The VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System, Model VS3-NE is intended for viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures and for use in visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures.
Device Story
VS3-NE is a stereoscopic high-definition vision system for surgical visualization. System components include a rigid stainless steel endoscope, light source, camera control unit (CCU), camera, and display monitors. The device utilizes a proximal HD camera concept with a stereoscopic camera block at the endoscope handle to capture 3D video. The optical array captures right and left images from different angles; the CCU processes these to generate a stereoscopic signal for display. The system also supports a 2D coupler for use with third-party 2D endoscopes. Used in OR settings by surgeons to view internal surgical sites, the system provides enhanced depth perception to assist in surgical navigation and decision-making. The device is intended for general and neurological surgical procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, including adherence to recognized consensus standards for electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), and endoscopic equipment safety (IEC 60601-2-18).
Technological Characteristics
Rigid stainless steel endoscope (4-5.5 mm diameter, 175-300 mm length); proximal stereoscopic HD camera block; CCU for signal processing; 2D coupler for third-party scope compatibility. Standards: IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60601-2-18 (endoscopic equipment), ISO 14971 (risk management), ISO 8600 (optics).
Indications for Use
Indicated for visualization of internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures and visualization of ventricles and brain structures during neurological surgical procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A neurological endoscope is an instrument with a light source used to view the inside of the ventricles of the brain.

### Technological Characteristics
The VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System, Model VS3-NE consists of the following components:
- . Endoscope
- Light source .
- Camera Control Unit (CCU) .
- Camera .
- Display monitors
- 2D Endoscope coupler ●
The VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition ("3DHD") Vision System, Model VS3-NE is based on the proximal HD camera concept with a stereoscopic camera block located on the proximal side of the endoscope (the handle). This allows high resolution capture of the 3D video stream. The stereoscopic images are transmitted from the visual field at the distal tip of the endoscope to the proximal camera block containing the HD sensor module. The VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System, Model VS3-NE allows for separation of the camera module with image sensor module and electronics from the endoscope shaft housing optical relay components and light fibers. The VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System, Model VS3-NE also includes 2D coupler capability that allows the VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System, Model VS3-NE to be used with FDA-cleared, third party 2D scopes at user sites to display monocular video.
### Principles of Operation
During surgical procedures, the surgeon inserts the endoscope into the surgical site, which is illuminated using the internal or external illumination source. The optical array then functions by capturing both right and left images of the surgical site from different angles. Both images are detected by the camera and transmitted to the CCU. Once the images are received by the CCU. the VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System. Model VS3-NE generates a stereoscopic signal of both the right and left images that can be sent to the display monitor.
### Performance
No performance standards or special controls have been developed under Section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FD&C Act") for endoscopes. However, the VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System, Model VS3-NE and its components follow FDA recognized consensus standards for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and biocompatibility:
- 1. IEC 60601-1, Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance (1998); Amendment 1, 1991-11, Amendment 2, 1995.
- IEC 60601-1-1, Medical electrical equipment Part 1-1: General requirements for 2. safety. Collateral standard: Safety requirements for medical electrical systems (2000).
- 3. IEC 60601-1-2, Medical electrical equipment Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance. Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility requirements and tests. (Edition 2:2001 with Amendment 1:2004; Edition 2.1 (Edition 2:2001 consolidated with Amendment 1:2004).
- 4. IEC 60601-2-18, Medical electrical equipment Part 2-18: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of endoscopic equipment (1996). Amendment 1, 2000.
- 5. ISO 14971. Medical devices Application of risk management to medical devices (2007).
- 6. ISO 8600, Optics and optical instruments -- Medical endoscopes and
