The device consists of a stainless steel needle, a delrin handpiece, a PMMA fiberoptic fiber with plastic cladding, and an aluminum connector. It connects to a conventional external light source via an aluminum accessory adapter. The device is operated by a surgeon in an operating room setting. By transmitting light through the fiberoptic tip, the device illuminates the surgical site, assisting the surgeon in visualizing ocular structures during surgery. ## Clinical Evidence bench testing only ## Technological Characteristics Materials: stainless steel needle, delrin handpiece, PMMA fiberoptic fiber with plastic cladding, aluminum connector. Energy source: external light source. Sterilization: ETO (AAMI Overkill Method). Packaging: Tyvek pouch with polymylar sheath. Non-pyrogenic (LAL method). ## 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.
