| Classification<br>Panel: | ENT |
| Predicate<br>Device(s): | Predicate Device: Optical Mediastinoscope (K954910)<br>Reference Devices: HOPKINS I & II Rigid Autoclavable Telescope (K935279),<br>C- cam (K143640), HD Mediastinoscope (K202272) |
| Device<br>Description: | The HD Mediastinoscope is a reusable videoendoscope intended to be used in<br>conjunction with the X-link module of the Image1 S Camera Control Unit. The HD<br>Mediastinoscope is comprised of four main components: CMOS sensor at the distal<br>end of the endoscope, an oval insertion portion (spatula), handle, and internal LED<br>light source. The spatula can accommodate up to 2 x 5 mm instruments. |
| Intended Use: | The HD Mediastinoscope System is intended for visualization purposes during<br>surgical procedures. |
| Indications for Use: | The HD Mediastinoscope is intended to aid the surgeon in viewing the mediastinum<br>and facilitate the introduction and removal of surgical instruments during ENT<br>endoscopic surgical procedures. |
| Technological<br>Characteristics. | The subject device, HD Mediastinoscope is substantially equivalent to the KARL<br>STORZ Optical Mediastinoscope, (510(k) Number: K954910), marketed by KARL<br>STORZ Endoscopy-America. The Hopkins telescope (K935279) and C-cam<br>(K143640) were chosen as reference devices to be used with the predicate to support<br>optical characteristics as they are required to be used with the predicate for a |
| | complete imaging system. |
| | The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use, indications for use, similar technological and optical characteristics. The main differences between the subject and the predicate devices include the following:<br>The subject device is a videoendoscope equipped with an internal light source and CMOS sensor chip whereas the predicate is an optical mediastinoscope that requires connection to external components (Hopkins telescope, camera head, light source) The insertion shaft diameter, field of view and on-axis resolution are slightly different when compared to the predicate device The distal tip spatula radius of the subject device is different when compared to the predicate device |
| | The subject device is a modification of the reference device, HD Mediastinoscope (510(k) Number: K202272), marketed by KARL STORZ Endoscopy-America. The difference between the subject device and the reference is that the subject device has a rounded spatula edge with an increased distal tip spatula radius of 5mm +2/-1mm and wall thickness of 1.2mm 0/-0.25mm in comparison to the cleared device with a sharp spatula edge, distal tip spatula radius of 1mm and spatula wall thickness of 0.77mm. |
| | The cleared HD Mediastinoscope (510(k) Number: K202272) has been chosen as reference device to leverage previous testing such as optical performance tests, electrical safety, biocompatibility and reprocessing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the subject device when compared to the predicate device. |
| Non-Clinical<br>Performance Data: | The subject device, HD Mediastinoscope is compliance with the following FDA recognized standards:<br><br>Electrical Safety and EMC ANSI/AAMI ES:60601-1:2005+A1:2012 IEC 60601-1-2:2014 IEC 62471:2006 Biocompatibility ISO 10993-10:2010 ISO 10993-11:2006/(R) 2010 Reprocessing Validation Summary AAMI TIR 12:2010 AAMI TIR 30:2011 AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11737-1:2006/ (R)2011 ASTM E1837-96:2014 |
| | A cadaver test study was conducted to demonstrate that the change in spatula design of the subject device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness when |
| | compared to the predicate device and the reference device. |
| Clinical<br>Performance Data: | Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the substantial equivalence to the<br>predicate devices. Non-clinical bench testing was sufficient to establish the<br>substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device. |
| Conclusion: | The nonclinical test demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to<br>the predicate device. |
