Regulatory Classification

Identification

A bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the bronchoscope and is intended to examine or treat the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the rigid ventilating bronchoscope, rigid nonventilating bronchoscope, nonrigid bronchoscope, laryngeal-bronchial telescope, flexible foreign body claw, bronchoscope tubing, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, flexible biopsy curette, and rigid bronchoscope aspirating tube, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.

Suction Connection Tube (SCT) - . Bronchoscope Attachment Part (BAP) - 2 Luer lock adapters (Introducers) . Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho is currently being sold on its own as a sterile, single use, flexible endoscope intended for endoscopic procedures and examination within the airways and tracheobronchial tree (K230428). The Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ 60 SC is a 510(k)-exempt device, also sold alone under the trade name Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ SC. The combination of the Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ 60 SC, the Bronchoscope Attachment Part (BAP) and Suction Connection Tube (SCT) is collectively referred to as the BronchoSampler 60. BronchoSampler 60 is a sterile, single-use medical component designed as an accessory to aScope™ 5 Broncho single-use endoscopes. It is used for fluid sampling in bronchoscopic procedures such as Bronchial Alveolar Lavage (BAL) or Bronchial Wash (BW) procedure which enables aspiration and collection of fluid sample(s) from the bronchial or alveolar part of the lung. The Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ 60 SC can be removed and replaced by the user to support multiple samples being taken during the same procedure. The Bronchoscope Attachment Part (BAP) is inserted into the suction pathway between the Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho endoscope and the vacuum source. It functions to maintain the connections and the controls for the suction pathway and the Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ 60 SC, where the aspirated sample is stored. The Suction Connection Tube (SCT) facilitates connection to suction tubing. The Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ 60 SC plus an additional Sample Container, BAP, SCT and two introducers will be packaged {5}------------------------------------------------ and sterilized together with Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho endoscope to form a self-contained set, the Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho Sampler Set. Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho Sampler Set has the following physical and performance characteristics: - Maneuverable Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho endoscope tip . controlled by the user - Flexible Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho endoscope insertion . cord - .

Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho Sampler Set differs from the predicate in the following areas: The exempt device, Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ 60 SC, BAP, SCT and two introducers are added to the Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho endoscope. Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ 60 SC, BAP, SCT and two introducers are packaged and sterilized together with aScope™ 5 Broncho to form a self-contained set, the Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho Sampler Set. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Performance Data - Bench | Bench testing has been performed in accordance with ISO 14971 as Design Verification of those Design Input requirements that are specified as risk control measures for those risks arising from the addition of sampling functionality to the endoscope. A summary of the activities carried out to verify the additional requirements and identified risks arising from the risk control measures are as follows: • Transportation testing • Packaging testing • Suction Testing • Connectivity testing • Tests for basic function of BronchoSampler 60 • Biological evaluation • Sterilization Validation Result: All requirements are verified successfully. | | Performance Data - Clinical | Not applicable. | | Conclusion | The Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho Sampler Set has the same intended use and indications for use, and similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate device. The minor differences between the Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho Sampler Set and its predicate device, namely the addition of the 510(k)-exempt device Ambu® aScope BronchoSampler™ 60 SC and the BAP, SCT and introducers do not raise any new concerns regarding safety or effectiveness. It is concluded that Ambu® aScope™ 5 Broncho Sampler Set is substantially equivalent to its predicate device. | {6}------------------------------------------------
