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 available 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. Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

It comprises a long, thin tube equipped with a light source and a camera to provide real-time visualization of the urinary tract and interior of the kidney. The ureteroscope also features a working channel that allows for installation of fluids, the passage of various instruments, such as biopsy forceps, cytology brushes, biopsy brushes, and stone retrieval baskets to facilitate urology and ureteroscopy procedures. The ureteroscope can be used wired or wireless through a Wireless Scope Adapter or Wired Scope Adapter. The adapter's transmit images from the ureteroscope to the Video Processor Unit where the user can view the image from the ureteroscope, control the LED, and save and export images from the ureteroscope onto USB removable media. | | | | Intended Use/Indications for Use | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) | | The LumiRex Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope is a single-use video endoscope designed for use with Contra Healthcare Solutions video processors, urology accessories, and other ancillary equipment used in urology and urological procedures. | | | | Indications for Use Comparison | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) | | The subject device LumiRex Ureteroscope has the same indications for use as the predicate device Pusen Medical Video Endoscope system (K172098). | | | | Technological Comparison | | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6) | {5} K243532 Overview of Similarities Page 2 of 3 The subject device and the predicate device have the same basic form factor, digital video and illumination sources, and are both single-use. Both devices utilize a video processing unit to view and control the image displayed to the user. ## Overview of Differences The subject device allows the user to operate the device wirelessly and wired through respective adapters while the predicate device only has the option of wired use. The LumiRex Ureteroscope when used with the Wired Scope Adapter of the subject device is operated in the same manner as the predicate device. The Wireless Scope Adapter of the subject device has a built-in battery powering the ureteroscope and allows better maneuverability and convenience during use for healthcare providers. The risks of wireless use have been assessed and found to be acceptable. The functionality of the ureteroscope with wireless adapter has been validated. The subject device video processing unit can be powered by the mains or lithium battery, while the predicate device's video processing unit is powered only by mains. Comparative testing between the subject device and predicate device showed that the subject device has a wider field of view but same depth of view. The above differences between the subject and predicate device do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. ## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b) Non-clinical validation testing was performed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device. The following tests were performed: ### Sterilization and Shelf-Life Ethelyne Oxide Sterilization of LumiRex Single-Use Bronchoscope has been evaluated to ISO 11135:2014.
