The Leisegang Video Colposcope is intended for magnified viewing of the tissues of the vagina, cervix and external genitalia in order to diagnose abnormalities and select areas for biopsy. The image can be viewed only on a color monitor.
Device Story
Leisegang Video Colposcope provides magnified visualization of vaginal, cervical, and external genital tissues. Device consists of CCD camera, halogen light source, and green filter mounted on mobile base. Unlike traditional binocular colposcopes, this system displays images exclusively on a color monitor. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings to identify abnormalities and guide biopsy procedures. Integrated imaging system allows physicians to record and review tissue images over time. External VCR or video printer may be connected to produce hard copies. Device facilitates clinical decision-making by providing high-resolution visual assessment of tissue morphology, aiding in the detection of lesions or pathological changes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Non-patient contacting colposcope; CCD camera imaging system; halogen light source; green filter; mobile base; working distance 250-307 mm; video output for color monitor display; analog video connectivity for recording/printing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring magnified visualization of vaginal, cervical, and external genital tissues for the diagnosis of abnormalities and selection of biopsy sites.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A colposcope is a device designed to permit direct viewing of the tissues of the vagina and cervix by a telescopic system located outside the vagina. It is used to diagnose abnormalities and select areas for biopsy. This generic type of device may include a light source, cables, and component parts.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a standard colposcope (or colpomicroscope) that uses only a white light source, does not use filters other than a green filter, does not include image analysis software, and is not smartphone-based, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

The Leisegang Video Colposcope consists of a CCD camera with a halogen light source, green filter and is mounted on a mobile base.
### 5. INTENDED USE
The Leisegang Video Colposcope is intended for magnified viewing of the tissues of the vagina, cervix and external genitalia in order to diagnose abnormalities and select areas for biopsy. The image can be viewed on a color monitor.
## A STATEMENT OF HOW THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE 6. Compare to Those of the Predicate or Legally Marketed Device(s) CITED
The Galileo, Leisegang and Welch Allyn Colposcopes are all intended to permit viewing and imaging of the tissues of the vagina and cervix to diagnose abnormalities and select areas for biopsy. While the predicate Leisegang devices are video adaptable, the Welch Allyn and the proposed Galileo Leisegang devices contain integrated imaging systems. These imaging systems provide the physician with a means to record pictures of the tissues for review over time.
All three devices function as non-patient contacting Colposcopes with working distances of 250 to 307 mm. The proposed Leisegang and the predicate Leisegang devices are standard Colposcopes in that the tissue is magnified and viewed directly via binocular microscopes with the option of using a video monitor. Operation of the Welch Allyn device differs in that the target image is always projected onto a video monitor rather than viewed directly through eyepieces.
All three devices have imaging capabilities. The predicate Leisegang Colposcopes have a video adaptor to allow for recording of the examination procedure. The video system of the proposed Galileo Leisegang and the Welch Allyn colposcopes are integral to its operation as the tissue can only be viewed by way of the video

monitor. A VCR/Video Printer can be used to produce hard copies of images obtained using both the proposed and predicate Leisegang and Welch Allyn Colposcopes.
