Intended Use

The VideoGastroscope is used for Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGI), the internal examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The instrument is passed via the mouth, and phariyix through the lumen of the esophagus, stomach, and pylorus to the proximal portion of the duodenum. Medical Indications Include: Confirm upper G.I. radiologic findings Biopsy of known or suspected abnormalities Identify the source of acute upper G.I. hemorrhage Monitor the status of chronic disease (e.g., ulcers) Therapeutic uses (c.g. removal of foreign bodies, stricture, dilatation, etc.)

Device Story

VideoGastroscope (Model 31750) is an endoscopic device for visualization of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Operated by physicians in clinical settings; device is inserted orally through the pharynx into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Provides real-time visual feedback to the clinician for diagnostic (biopsy, hemorrhage identification, confirming radiologic findings) and therapeutic (foreign body removal, dilation) purposes. Enables direct observation of mucosal surfaces to monitor chronic conditions like ulcers. Benefits include minimally invasive access to the upper GI tract for diagnosis and treatment.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

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.
