Indications for Use

This device is intended to transmit light for illumination purposes from the light source to endoscopes.

Device Story

Endo-Cord is a fiber-optic light transmission cable used to connect a surgical light source to an endoscope. It consists of a 5mm glass fiber-optic core housed within a reusable silicone rubber sheath, with stainless steel couplings at both ends for universal connection. The device is operated by clinical staff in surgical or diagnostic environments. It functions as a passive conduit for light; it does not process data or provide automated analysis. The device is designed for steam sterilization and features a field-replaceable fiber-optic core, allowing for maintenance by the user. By providing consistent illumination, it enables visualization of internal anatomy during endoscopic procedures, supporting clinical decision-making and surgical accuracy.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Light transmission intensity was measured across high, medium, and low settings, showing differences of 5.0%, 2.8%, and 3.6% respectively compared to the Sunoptics reference device. Cleaning validation performed per AAMI TIR30. Steam sterilization validation (Prevacuum, 130°C, 4-minute exposure, 20-minute dry) confirmed sterility assurance level of 10^-6.

Technological Characteristics

5mm glass fiber-optic core; reusable silicone rubber sheath; stainless steel couplings. Length: 7.5 feet (90 inches). Passive light transmission. Sterilization: Steam autoclave. Field-replaceable core design.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in clinical settings to provide illumination for endoscopes during surgical or diagnostic procedures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Dear Mr. Ward:

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
