## Intended Use

This software is intended for use by qualified personnel in the Operating Room and Nurses Station. The Advanced Image and Data Archiving System (AIDA) is a Windows® based still/video image capturing, archiving, documentation system and recording of audio sequences and patient data during a procedure. It allows capture and annotation of the surgical procedure for documentation purposes. Images captured and distributed by AIDA are for viewing and reference purposes and are not intended for primary diagnosis. It is also a Windows® based solution to communicate with other picture archival communication systems (PACS) using DICOM and with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) using the HL7 standard. Also as a part of the AIDA system the Storz Application Manager software (SAM) enables the selection and integrations of AIDA functions with various compatible applications, such as Karl Storz’s Storz Communication Bus (SCB) or other third party image capturing devices.

## Device Story

Used in ORs and nurses' stations by qualified personnel; integrates with hospital PACS via DICOM and HIS via HL7. Features Storz Application Manager (SAM) for integration with Storz Communication Bus (SCB) or third-party capture devices. Provides documentation and reference viewing; output is for clinical reference only, not primary diagnosis. Benefits include streamlined surgical documentation and data management.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness established via risk analysis, software verification, and validation testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Windows-based software; DICOM and HL7 connectivity; integrates with SCB and third-party capture devices. Includes built-in screen prompts, alarms, and error messages. Risk management via hazard analysis and software verification/validation.

## 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.

Dear Mr. Lee,

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 4, 2005.

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. 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

{1}

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 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

surgical procedure for documentation purposes. Images captured and distributed by AIDA are for viewing and reference purposes and are not intended for primary diagnosis.

It is also a Windows® based solution to communicate with other picture archival communication systems (PACS) using DICOM and with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) using the HL7 standard. Also as a part of the AIDA system the Storz Application Manager software (SAM) enables the selection and integrations of AIDA functions with various compatible applications, such as Karl Storz’s Storz Communication Bus (SCB) or other third party image capturing devices.

## Device Description:

The Karl Storz AIDA/DICOM/HL7 is an image capturing device with DICOM viewer which communicates with the Hospital Information System via HL7 protocol.

## Substantial Equivalence:

The Karl Storz AIDA/DICOM/HL7 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (SIENET MagicWeb and Magic Link I: K973131) since the basic features and intended uses are the same. The minor differences between the Karl Storz AIDA/DICOM/HL7 and the predicate device raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices.

## General Safety and Effectiveness Concerns:

Built in screen prompts, alarms, error messages and warnings ensure safe and effective use of the AIDA/DICOM/HL7 software. Risk management is ensured via risk analyses, which are used to identify potential hazards. These hazards are controlled via software development, verification and validation testing. To minimize electrical, mechanical and radiation hazards, KSEA adheres to recognized and established industrial practice and standards.
