## Intended Use
The ITALITE tm Light Wand is indicated for illumination during joint examinations, arthroscopies, biopsies, in minimally invasive procedures of the knee, shoulder, temporal-mandibular joint, ankle, and elbow. The ITALITE tm Light Wand is disposable, single use and is intended to be discarded after the procedure. It is supplied clean but not sterile and must be sterilized before use. The ITALITE tm is for illumination only and is not indicated for viewing. It is to be used by physicians only.
## Device Story
ITALITE Light Wand is a semi-rigid, single-use fiber optic device providing illumination for minimally invasive joint procedures. Input consists of light from external, off-the-shelf light sources (e.g., ACMI, Wolff, Stortz, Olympus) connected to the proximal end. The device features a stainless steel tube (2.0 mm or 3.1 mm diameter) containing 50-micron glass fibers. Light is transmitted through the fibers and emitted from a distal window oriented perpendicular to the shaft, providing side-directed illumination. The device is operated by physicians in clinical settings. It does not provide viewing capabilities. By providing localized illumination, it assists the physician in visualizing the surgical field during joint examinations or biopsies, potentially improving procedural accuracy and patient outcomes. The device is supplied clean but non-sterile and requires sterilization by the user prior to each procedure.
## Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance tests confirmed the device met functional specifications, and safety tests ensured compliance with applicable industry standards. Sterilization validation protocol confirmed the device's ability to be sterilized.
## Technological Characteristics
Semi-rigid fiber optic light wand; stainless steel tube (2.0 mm or 3.1 mm diameter); 50-micron glass fibers; epoxy-sealed/polished proximal and distal ends; perpendicular distal light emission; compatible with standard light sources. Designed to meet IEC60601-2-18. Manufactured under an approved Quality System. Non-sterile, single-use, disposable.
## Regulatory Identification
An arthroscope is an electrically powered endoscope intended to make visible the interior of a joint. The arthroscope and accessories also is intended to perform surgery within a joint.
## Predicate Devices
- Medscope 4mm Arthroscope (k894303)
- ASAP Arthroscope (k031972)

3. Substantially Equivalent Devices
JG Medical Products LLC believes that the ITALITE tm light wand Models 500-3.1; 550-3.1; 600-3.1; 650-3.1; 450-2.0; 400-2.0 is substantially equivalent to the following cleared devices:
| Trade or Proprietary Name | Manufacturer | 510(k) Number |
|---------------------------|--------------------------|---------------|
| Medscope 4mm Arthroscope | Medscope Corp. | k894303 |
| ASAP Arthroscope | ASAP Endoscopic Products | k031972 |
All of the above predicate Arthroscopes have two fiber optic channels, one for viewing and one for illuminating the subject field. The ITALITE tm light wand models above are made of similar materials, fibers, and epoxies.to the predicate devices above. In fact the ITALITE tm light wand uses exactly the same materials and construction methods as the Medscope 4mm Arthroscope k894303, However the ITALITE tm light wand Models have only an illumination channel and are not used for viewing. Illumination is perpendicular to the shaft. Substantial equivalence is claimed for the indications for use for this application.

# 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ITALITE tm models of Light Wands range in size as follows:
| MODEL | LENGTH | DIAMETER |
|---------|--------|----------|
| 650-3.1 | 650 mm | 3.1 mm |
| 600-3.1 | 600 mm | 3.1 mm |
| 550-3.1 | 550 mm | 3.1 mm |
| 500-3.1 | 500 mm | 3.1 mm |
| 450-2.0 | 450 mm | 2.0 mm |
| 400-2.0 | 400 mm | 2.0 mm |
The ITALITE tm series of Light Wands are semi rigid type devices which are intended for illumination during joint examinations, biopsies, in minimally invasive procedures of the knee, shoulder, temporal mandibular joint, ankle, and elbow.
The device consists of a thin walled stainless steel tube (either 3.1 mm or 2.0 mm) varying in length from 400 to 650 mm depending on the model number as above. 50 micron glass fibers fill the inner diameter of the tube. At the proximal end the fibers are sealed with epoxy and polished. They are terminated in a light pipe connector compatible with off the shelf light sources such as those manufactured by ACMI, Wolff, Stortz, and Olympus. A stainless steel knob at the proximal end facilitates the direction and placement of the Light Wand.
The distal end of the Light Wand has a window perpendicular to the shaft where the fibers terminate. They are epoxied and polished to form a window perpendicular to the shaft. Hence the light is directed perpendicular to the shaft and provides illumination in that direction instead of head on from the end of the Light Wand.
