Dear Ping Yang:

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.

The device is suitable for professional healthcare facility environments such as hospitals and clinics. This product shall not be used for other purposes.

# VI. Indications for Use Comparison

The proposed device, Single-Use Video Flexible Cysto-Nephroscope, has the same indications for use in comparison to the predicate device, Single-Use Video Flexible Cysto-Nephroscope.

# VII. Technological Comparison

The proposed Single-Use Video Flexible Cysto-Nephroscope is the same as the predicate Single-Use Video Flexible Cysto-Nephroscope (cleared under K241500) with respect to its indications for use, design, operating principle, and fundamental technology.

The proposed device contains the following differences to the predicate device:

1. All features of the new device (proposed device) are identical to the predicate, and only a detachable video cable is added to its immediate package.
2. The downward deflection angle for all models is changed from 135° to 225°.
3. The material of immediate packaging (Tyvek pouch) is changed from DuPont Tyvek 2FS paper to DuPont Tyvek 1073B paper. Along with this immediate packaging material change, the dimensions of the middle packaging and transportation packaging have been adjusted.

As part of demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate, a risk analysis was completed to identify the risks associated with the above changes. Verification testing was conducted to evaluate the modifications. The proposed device has met the testing acceptance criteria in accordance with internal requirements and applicable standards to support substantial equivalence of the proposed device.

# VIII. Non-Clinical Tests Summary

As part of demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate, a risk analysis was completed to identify the risks associated with the design changes. Verification testing including performance testing using previous submitted method and acceptance criteria cleared under K241500, additional shelf-life testing and simulated transportation testing, performance testing including deflection system etc. were conducted to evaluate the modifications. The proposed device has met the testing acceptance criteria in accordance with internal requirements and applicable standards to support substantial equivalence of the proposed device.

> Sterilization Validation

The sterilization method has been validated to ISO 11135:2014 half-cycle method, which has thereby determined the routine control and monitoring parameters.

> Shelf Life and simulated transportation distribution followed by sterile packaging integrity test.
