Intended Use
The KARL STORZ Flexible Video-Uretero-Renoscope System is indicated for endoscopic examination in the urinary tract and can be used to examine the interior of the kidney, and using additional accessories, to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Device Story
Flexible Video-Uretero-Renoscope System provides visualization for urological procedures. System includes flexible video-uretero-renoscope and Image 1 SPIES Camera Control Unit (CCU). Scope features integrated LED handle light, fiber light guides, and distal CMOS imaging sensor. Sensor captures video, transmitting signals through handle electronics to CCU. CCU processes images for display on standard HD monitor. Used in clinical settings by physicians for kidney and urinary tract examination/intervention. Modifications include conversion to Image 1 SPIES CCU, material changes for STERRAD compatibility, and insertion shaft length reduction to 675mm. Device enables minimally invasive visualization, assisting clinicians in diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence demonstrated through bench testing, including optical performance, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and biocompatibility testing.
Technological Characteristics
Flexible endoscope with distal CMOS sensor, LED illumination, and fiber light guides. Materials modified for STERRAD sterilization compatibility. Insertion shaft length 675mm. Connectivity via proprietary electronics to Image 1 SPIES CCU. Standards: ISO 8600 (optical), IEC 60601-1 (electrical), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility).
Indications for Use
Indicated for endoscopic examination of the urinary tract and kidney in patients requiring diagnostic or therapeutic urological procedures. Prescription use only.
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.

Dear Leigh Spotten,
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
