Regulatory Classification

Identification

An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.

Special Controls

The phone number is (314) 931-2204 and the fax number is (314) 931-6029. 510(k) Submitter: Syntec, Inc. is located at 812 Truman Blvd. Crystal City, MO 63019. The phone number is (314) 931-2204 and the fax number is (314) 931-6029. Contact person: Nathan H. Lewis Predicate Device: Grieshaber Disposable Standard Micro Lite Pipe catalog numbers 630.77 20G and 631.77 20G manufactured by Grieshaber & Co. Inc. located at 1945 Vaughn Road, Kennesaw, GA 30144. Device Description: The Endo Illuminator is comprised of five basic components. The handpiece handle. The handpiece tube. The fiberoptic cable. The fiber optic cable sheath and the connector. Intended Use: The Syntec, Inc. Disposable Endo Illuminators is used to illuminate with visible spectrum light the intraocular portion of the eye for improved visualization during vitreo-retinal surgery. Clinical and Non-Clinical Similarities and Differences: The Syntec, Inc. Tru Light Endoilluminator and the Grieshaber & Co. Disposable Standered Light Pipe are substantially equivalent since they both are used to for the same clinical purpose, ie: to illuminate with visible spectrum light the intraocular portion of the eye for improved visualization during vitreo-retinal surgery. Both devices are of a similar design and are made using the exact same materials. The handpiece handle is made of Delrin, The handpiece tube is made of surgical grade stainless steel. The fiberoptic cable is made with a polystyrene core and a polymethylmethacrylate cladding. The fiber optic cable sheath is made of PVC tubing and the connector is made of 6063 aluminum. The device is biocompatible with the body tissue and fluids that it comes in contact with as it is made of the same materials as the predicate device. These materials meet US Pharmacopoeia Class VI criteria and are widely used in many other medical products. The device is {1} sterilized using ethylene oxide gas which is then validated by the overkill method. The light output intensity and spot size is the same as the predicate device. The only device differences are cosmetic.
