## Intended Use

The device is intended for the visualization of the lower digestive tract, specifically for the observation, diagnosis, and endoscopic treatment of the rectum and large intestine.

## Device Story

Fujinon G5 Colonoscopes are flexible endoscopes used by physicians for visualization, diagnosis, and treatment of the lower digestive tract. The device captures optical images of the rectum and large intestine, transmitting them to a processor (EPX-201 or VP-402) for display on a monitor. The G5 upgrade introduces ergonomic and usability improvements: repositioned jet water wash port (J-Port) to the distal end; removal of internal check valves in favor of external, removable valves to facilitate cleaning; modified forceps inlet port with a rubber cap for improved suction/seal; and compatibility with the CA-500 cleaning adaptor. The device is operated by a physician in a clinical setting. Output allows real-time visualization for diagnostic assessment and guidance during endoscopic procedures, potentially improving patient outcomes through accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device underwent EMC testing and design verification. Patient contact materials are identical to predicate devices. No clinical data was required or provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Flexible fiber-optic/video endoscope. Distal end diameter 12.8-12.9mm; working length 1690mm; 140-degree field of view. Features include suction/air/water channels, forceps channel (3.8mm), and bending section (up to 180 degrees). Connectivity via S-connector to proprietary processors (EPX-201/VP-402). Reprocessing via cleaning/disinfection/sterilization protocols using CA-500 adaptor. Materials are identical to predicate devices.

## 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

The G5 changes were described and cleared by FDA in the 510(k) submission for the Fujinon Double Balloon Enteroscopy System - K040048.

This 510(k) captures some minor design changes that have occurred during the evolution of the product line I his 310(k) captures some manor economic the changes are believed to be minor, the 510(k) is being submitted to account for "design resp" and to ensure that FDA has the most current information concerning the Fujinon Colonoscopes.

The subject device have the same indications for use, composition of patient contact materials, viewing di-I the subject device for the same instructs in sterilization method as the predicate. The subject devices use the same processors and peripherals as the predicate device.

The main differences between the subject device and predicate device are as follows:

- Minor differences with observation range, field of view, diameter, and length. .
- The subject device includes the G5 upgrade, which is characterized by the following minor differ-. ences:
	- The L-Port has been eliminated. The L-port functioned as a lens wash port . Doctors had ం the option to take a syringe to inject a fluid to use it as a high pressure wash for the lens.

## Description of the Device [21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)]

The Fujinon G5 Colonoscopes are medical endoscopes used for visualization of the lower digestive tract, spe-I fic rujilor OJ Colonosooper and miagnosis, and endoscopic treatment of the rectum and large intestine.

The G5 colonoscopes include minor changes that improve the useability, ergonomics, and cleaning of the dei ile CJ colonoscopes motuor minor onanges and increased as a lens wash port. Doctors had the option vices. The OJ Scopes do not have it as a high pressure wash for the lens. This function was eliminated because demand was low and it was rarely used by the surgeons.

The J-Port was repositioned. The J-Port is used as a jet water wash port. The J-Port was repositioned based on I he s- on was reportioned from the bottom part to the top (end) of the scope. There was also a desire to eliminate check valves to facilitate reprocessing and cleaning, as well as prevent clogging.

A G5 forceps inlet port was modified. The new port is smaller and comes with a rubber cap. The new design helps increase suction and reduce leakage.

The jet wash line check valve was removed. Internal check valves were removed to eliminate the potential for I ho joi wasn' mile only raire ning, disinfection, and sterilization. The valves are now external and removable.

The suction and air/water cylinders and valves were upgraded. They were updated to accommodate the new valves. The function of the valves is the same.

The G5 colonoscopes also feature the addition of the FOV, which is the rubber forceps inlet valve cover. This helps create a watertight seal when the endoscope is used. Upgrade to CA-500 cleaning adaptor. The cleaning adaptor allows the scope to be connected to tubes for cleaning.

The G5 colonoscopes are used with a processor (EPX-201 for EC-250HL5 and VP-402 for EC-450HL5), a I he UJ connioscopy unit, and a cart. Each colonoscope is packaged in a protective carrying case with lens

The main differences are the minor changes associated with the G5 upgrade. The G5 changes were previously cleared by FDA in the 510(k) submission for the Fujinon Double Balloon Enteroscopy System --K040043.

### Performance Data [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1)]

The subject device has been subjected to and passed EMC testing requirements. The patient contact materials in the colonoscopes are identical to the materials used in the predicate device.

#### Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]

We believe the changes are minor and conclude that the subject devices are as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
