Minnetonka, MN 55343 | | CONTACT PERSON: | Bernard (Bud) Horwath | | TELEPHONE NUMBER: | 651-481-9734 | | FAX NUMBER: | 952-564-3914 | | DATE OF SUBMISSION: | July 15, 2009 | OCT 1 4 2009 #### Identification of device 1. Proprietary Name: CAD 12, Colonoscopy Assist Device Common Name: Overtube, Endoscopy Assist Device Classification Status: Class II per regulations 876.1500 Product Codes: KOG #### 2. Equivalent devices SoftScope Medical believes that CAD 12 is substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices: Intended Use and Device Design: - Spirus Medical Endo-Ease Overtube, K052084 � - Fujinon EC-450 Double Balloon Overtube, K090116 g Rotating Drive Mechanism: - Boston Scientific Sonicath Ultrasonic Catheter, K970049/K060947 ♥ - Olympus Ultrasonic Transducer, K982610/K063683 . #### 3. Description of the Device The CAD 12 is an endoscopic accessory device configured as an overtube to aid insertion and advancement of an endoscope. The CAD 12 utilizes a rotating membrane tube to advance the endoscope in the lower GI tract. The rotating membrane tube is driven by two mechanical rotating drive wires. #### 4. Intended use The CAD 12 is indicated for use with a flexible endoscope to aid endoscopic insertion and advancement during diagnostic and therapeutic lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. SoftScope Medical Technologies, Inc. CAD 12 510k Confidential б {1}------------------------------------------------ K092156 pg 2 of 2 #### Technological characteristics, comparison to predicate device. ડ. Like the Overtube predicate devices, CAD 12 has the same intended use and basic design intent. The CAD 12 is an overtube design, which is placed over the endoscope to aid in its insertion and advancement via a propulsion assist mechanism. The CAD 12 propulsion drive cable is similar to the shaft of the Ultrasonic transducer predicates, using a mechanical rotating drive wire within a catheter sheath. #### Discussion of performance testing. 6. An extensive collection of tests has been conducted and successfully completed, including functional performance, safety, biocompatibility and sterility testing. All testing indicates that CAD 12 meets its specification requirements. #### 7. Conclusion Based on extensive performance testing and a comparison to the predicate devices, it is the conclusion of SoftScope Medical that CAD 12 is substantially equivalent to devices already on the market (cleared by the 510(k) process) and presents no new concerns about safety and effectiveness. ### SoftScope Medical Technologies, Inc.
