Device covers patient-contact portion of scope during clinical procedures to prevent contamination. Sheath removed and disposed of after each procedure. Used in clinical settings by physicians performing sigmoidoscopy. Benefits include maintaining sterile barrier between patient and reusable endoscope, reducing cross-contamination risk. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Included air/water tubing tensile/elongation tests, distal head image quality evaluation, and microbial barrier testing using Phi X 174 bacteriophage. ## Technological Characteristics Sterile, disposable protective sheath. Designed for use with VSI S-F100 and S-V100 sigmoidoscopes. Mechanical barrier function. ## Regulatory 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 *Classification* —(1)*Class II (special controls).* The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9. ## Predicate Devices - SS-V32 EndoSheath for use with the VSI S-V100 Sigmoidoscope ([K932843](/device/K932843.md)) - SS-F32 EndoSheath for use with the VSI S-F100 Sigmoidoscope ([K921690](/device/K921690.md)) - EndoSheath for use with the VSI C-F100 Colonoscope ([K943895](/device/K943895.md)) - EndoSheath for use with the VSI E-F100 Nasopharyngoscope ([K961591](/device/K961591.md)) - EndoSheaths for use with Machida, Pentax and Olympus ENT Scopes ([K951809](/device/K951809.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
