Device Story
SIRIUS Endoscope System (PR-SI-1230) is a robotic, single-use, 3D laparoscopic camera system for minimally invasive surgery. Input consists of visual data captured by a stereo camera (1080p resolution) at the distal tip. The system features a flexible, articulated tip with three degrees of freedom (C and S-shaped bending) driven electromechanically by motors in the handle via a joystick. Used in hospital operating theatres by trained surgeons and clinical staff. Output is a 3D video feed displayed to the surgeon to guide endoscopic procedures. The system includes a locking mechanism on the handle. Benefits include enhanced visualization and maneuverability during surgery. The device is sterilized via ethylene oxide.

Dear Kacia Mak:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

## Discussion:
The subject device has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate device. Operating principles, anatomical access, shaft material and other technical specifications are the same for both devices. Mechanical and electronic feature differences between the subject device and its predicate were verified by electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility tests and usability tests. These differences have no impact on the effectiveness and safety of the device, so it does not affect substantial equivalence on safety and effectiveness.
## 7. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
### Biocompatibility Testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Laparoscope Head was conducted in accordance with International Standard ISO 10993-1:2005, ISO 10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-10:2010 and ISO 10993-11:2017 as recognized by FDA. The evaluation included the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization
- Irritation
- Acute systemic toxicity
- Pyrogen
### Sterility
The sterilization of the product is achieved using ethylene oxide sterilization. Sterilization condition is validated per ISO 11135: 2014 overkill half-cycle approach. The sterility assurance level (SAL) is $10^{-6}$. The amount of ethylene oxide and chlorohydrin residual levels are within the limit and in compliance with ISO 10993-7: 2008 requirement.
