Operates via proximal sensor module on camera block; captures left/right images through optical transmission; fiber optic threads provide illumination. Used in OR by surgeons for visualization during general, neurological, spinal, and arthroscopic procedures. Provides stereoscopic view to assist surgical navigation and decision-making. Modification from predicate includes addition of 3 working channels for instrument passage/irrigation. System architecture, CCU, and display components remain identical to predicate VS3. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Validation included reuse, cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization testing to ensure the addition of working channels did not negatively impact device processing or performance compared to the predicate. ## Technological Characteristics Rigid metal shaft endoscope; stereoscopic optical transmission; fiber optic illumination. Dimensions: 4-5.5mm diameter, 175-300mm length. Field of view: 70°-95°. Working distance: 8mm-70mm. Connectivity: CCU, display monitors, and illumination sources. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-4. ## 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 - VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System, Model VS3 ([K141002](/device/K141002.md)) ## Reference Devices - Aesculap Minop System ([K983365](/device/K983365.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The endoscope is designed and manufactured the same way. The endoscope is a rigid metal shaft that uses a proximal sensor module which is mounted onto a camera block on the proximal side of the endoscope (the handle). The endoscope uses stereoscopic images which are transmitted from the visual field at the distal end of the scope through an optical transmission (for left and right channels). The endoscope camera sensor module picks up the left and right images of the scene inside the body and delivers them to the external display. The endoscope incorporates fiber optic threads that transfer the light from the illumination unit to the surgical scene. The VS3 ETV endoscope contains 3 working channels. The endoscope utilizes the same principle of operation, software, system architecture, camera and visual viewing technologies, illumination sources, display monitors, carts, CCU and couplers as the predicate VS3. {4}------------------------------------------------ ## Technological Characteristics / Performance Data | Standards
