The Irrigation System (tubing and accessories to accommodate various endoscopes and irrigation pumps) is intended to provide irrigation fluids, such as sterile water, during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures when used in conjunction with an irrigation pump or electrosurgical unit.
Device Story
Torrent Irrigation System consists of tubing and accessories designed to interface with various endoscopes and irrigation pumps/electrosurgical units. Device facilitates delivery of irrigation fluids (e.g., sterile water) to the surgical site during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. System functions as a fluid delivery conduit; no active electronic processing or software components. Output is the controlled flow of irrigation fluid to assist in visualization or therapeutic intervention during endoscopy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Fluid delivery tubing and accessories; compatible with standard endoscopic irrigation pumps and electrosurgical units. Non-electronic, mechanical fluid path components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures requiring irrigation fluids (e.g., sterile water) delivered via irrigation pump or electrosurgical unit.
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.
