## Intended Use

The VSI Model ENT-2000V Flexible Nasopharyngo-Laryngoscope is intended for flexible endoscopic examination of the upper airway, vocal chords and/or nasal passages.

## Device Story

The Vision Sciences Model ENT-2000V is a modified flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngo-laryngoscope. It incorporates an integral camera module and a camera control unit to facilitate visualization. The device is used by clinicians for endoscopic examination of the upper airway, vocal cords, and nasal passages. The camera module captures visual data, which is processed by the control unit and displayed for the clinician. This visualization assists the physician in performing diagnostic or procedural examinations, potentially improving clinical decision-making by providing direct observation of anatomical structures.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation included scope image quality evaluation, focal length, resolution, distortion, reprocessing effects, and electrical safety testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngo-laryngoscope with integrated camera module and camera control unit. Device is Class II. Compliance with 21 CFR 820.30 design controls. Electrical safety testing performed.

## Regulatory Identification

A nasopharyngoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the nasopharyngoscope and is intended to examine or treat the nasal cavity and nasal pharynx. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel and flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the antroscope, nasopharyngolaryngoscope, nasosinuscope, nasoscope, postrhinoscope, rhinoscope, salpingoscope, flexible foreign body claw, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biospy brush, rigid biopsy forceps and flexible biopsy curette, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.
