Intended Use

The Applied Medical Anoscope is intended for transanal use to provide physicians access to the anal sphincter, anus, and rectum and to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using additional accessories.

Device Story

Applied Medical Anoscope is a single-piece, disposable polycarbonate device designed for transanal access. It features a tapered closed tip for insertion, a handle, and a 32mm lumen channel for instrument passage. Used by physicians in clinical settings to retract the anal sphincter and visualize the anorectal anatomy. Unlike the predicate, it lacks an integrated light channel, relying on external illumination for visualization. The device includes visual centimeter markings for depth reference. It facilitates diagnostic and therapeutic procedures by providing a clear passage for additional surgical accessories. Benefits include safe, disposable access to the anal canal, reducing cross-contamination risks compared to reusable alternatives.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, intracutaneous irritation, sensitization). Functional performance assessed via computer-aided simulation and compression testing.

Technological Characteristics

Polycarbonate construction; one-piece half-round channel design; 32mm lumen; tapered tip; visual depth markings; sterile, disposable; manual operation; no integrated light source; biocompatible per ISO 10993-1.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring transanal access to the anal sphincter, anus, and rectum for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures performed by physicians.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Dear Aeree Lee:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

# Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

The predicate and subject anoscopes are sterile, disposable access devices that are used to examine the anal sphincter, anus and rectum during anorectal procedures. Both devices have:

{4}------------------------------------------------

- A tapered tip for insertion
- A handle at the proximal end
- A full-length open channel for insertion of accessories ●
- Graduated markers on the circumference

The subject device differs from the predicate as follows:

- o The predicate has a dedicated channel for application of a light source, while the subject device does not. However, the subject device has a 32mm lumen that is sufficiently large for direct visualization. Additionally, an external light source may be used to illuminate the working space.
- . The predicate device has cm markings along the outside surface. The subject device has visual centimeter markings that are not labeled but that may be easily counted by the user.

# Discussion of Performance Testing

# Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility evaluation of the subject device was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process." The subject device contacts tissue for less than 24 hours and the material was determined to be biocompatible when evaluated against the following endpoints:

- Cytotoxicity
- Intracutaneous Irritation ●
- Sensitization

# Functional Performance

The anoscope is a simple one-piece device that provides a passage into the anal canal. There are no recognized performance standards for access devices of this kind. Therefore, Applied Medical devised criteria by which to assess safety and efficacy, including a computer-aided simulation and a compression test.

# Conclusion

The Applied Medical Anoscope is substantially equivalent to the predicate Sapimed Disposable Anoscope in design and performance.
