Connectivity via scope connector to external processor/light source. Dimensions and bending capabilities vary by model, falling within ranges of predicate and reference devices. Software-controlled via external processor.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the observation, diagnosis, and endoscopic treatment of the trachea and bronchus in patients requiring bronchoscopic procedures, performed by physicians in medical facilities.
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.

Dear Chaitrali Kulkarni:
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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled 'Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device'

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13485 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), ISO 13485 clause 8.5.2 (Corrective action), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5.3 (Preventative action). Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QMSR requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (ISO 13485 clause 7.3 and ISO 13485 clause 7.5) and document changes and approvals in the Medical Device File (ISO 13485 clause 4.2.3).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

A. Intended Use/indications for Use
This product is a bronchoscope intended for the observation, diagnosis and endoscopic treatment of the trachea and bronchus at medical facilities under the management of physicians.
B. Technological characteristics
This product consists of an endoscope and standard accessories. The endoscope consists of an insertion portion (which consists of a
{5}
distal end, a bending section and a flexible portion), a control portion, an LG flexible portion and a scope connector.
This product is medical electronic endoscope for bronchus, and it is inserted into the lumen, coelom, body cavity, or inside of the body, which provides images for observation, diagnosis, photographing, or treatment.
This product is a bronchoscope intended for the observation, diagnosis and endoscopic treatment of the trachea and bronchus at medical facilities under the management of physicians.
# C. Principles of Operation
Connecting the light source, this product guides the light from it through the bundled fiber placed and set inside this product. This product emit light from the tip of the insertion portion. Its reflection forms an image on CMOS image sensor through a group of object lens placed and set in the tip of t his product. An electric signal from CMOS image sensor is transmitted to the processor via the light source connected to this product. The processor converts it to a video signal and displays an image on a monitor.
Insertion portion of the devices have a mechanism (hereinafter "the bending section") which bends the tip from up and down, a flexible tube (hereinafter "the insertion tube") consists of the bending section and operating portion with a lever which controls the bending section. And these devices have a mechanism (hereinafter "the rotation mechanism") which rotate the insertion portion with a rotation ring.
In the suction channel, air is constantly suctioned by the suction unit. Pressing the suction valve enables suction to be performed from the forceps channel.
