## Intended Use

The Scope-Assist Flushing Sink is indicated for flushing the channels of flexible endoscopes according to the endoscope manufacturer's instructions.

## Device Story

Scope-Assist Flushing Sink assists manual cleaning of flexible endoscopes; provides environment for soaking, manual wiping/brushing, and wet leak testing. Device uses pump to deliver detergent solution and water through endoscope channels; utilizes color-coded, scope-specific adapters for connection. Used in soiled utility rooms, central processing decontamination areas, or endoscope reprocessing areas by facility staff. Healthcare providers use device to ensure compliance with manufacturer cleaning requirements; facilitates consistent delivery of detergent and water volumes. Benefits include standardized, mechanically assisted flushing of internal channels, supporting effective manual cleaning process.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included flushing performance to meet manufacturer requirements, detergent injection accuracy, detergent compatibility with flow path materials, electrical safety (IEC 61010-1), and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2). No clinical data presented.

## Technological Characteristics

Pump-based fluid delivery system for endoscope channels. Includes color-coded, scope-specific connector tubing. Uses potable tap water. Compatible with Tergal 800 Detergent. Electrical safety per IEC 61010-1; EMC per IEC 60601-1-2. Standalone sink unit for decontamination areas.

## 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

*Classification* —(1)*Class II (special controls).* The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
