## INTENDED USE

Aesculap's Paediscope is intended for use in endoscope-assisted microneurosurgery and pure Aesoulap 3 Paculoope io intendopy) for direct visualization, diagnostic and/or therapeutic noaroonaooopy (nor retriculostomies, biopsies and removal of cysts, tumors and other obstructions.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Aesoulap's Paediscope combines the features of both flexible and rigid scopes. The distal end is a rigid neuroendoscope with a 3.0mm diameter. The rigid part includes one operating channel and nga nedrochaooops with a oroni. The flexible part ends at the standard adapters for light cables and eyepiece connection. The flexible outpatient part allows more flexibility and reduces the weight af the scope part introduced into the patient. The Paediscope can be used in adult and pediatric or the soope part introduced this the patts are included with the Paediscope for the cutting and grasping biopsies and the removal of cysts, tumors and other obstructions.

## PURPOSE FOR SUBMISSION

The purpose for this submission is to gain marketing clearance for the Paediscope.
