The OptiCLEAN Lens Irrigator is a disposable device to be used in combination with a 10 mm diameter scope to prevent dimming and fogging of the lens. The OptiDOCK Tissue Ligator is a disposable device intended to pass an absorbable suture loop during endoscopic procedures.
Device Story
MedChannel Endoscopic Accessories consist of two single-use disposable devices: OptiCLEAN Lens Irrigator and OptiDOCK Tissue Ligator. OptiCLEAN attaches to 10 mm endoscopes to provide irrigation, preventing lens dimming and fogging during surgery. OptiDOCK is a suture passer pre-loaded with PGA (USP 2-0) absorbable suture for endoscopic tissue ligation. Both devices are operated by surgeons in clinical endoscopic settings. These accessories facilitate visualization and tissue management, potentially improving procedural efficiency and patient outcomes by maintaining clear optics and enabling secure tissue closure.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance with ISO 10993-1 (biological evaluation), AAMI 11135 (ethylene oxide sterilization), and USP 26 (suture diameter/absorbable surgical sutures) standards.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use disposable endoscopic accessories. OptiCLEAN: single lumen irrigator, 285 mm or 305 mm lengths. OptiDOCK: suture passer pre-loaded with PGA (USP 2-0) suture. Sterilization via ethylene oxide per AAMI 11135. Materials evaluated per ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use during endoscopic procedures. OptiCLEAN is for use with 10 mm diameter scopes to prevent lens dimming/fogging. OptiDOCK is for passing absorbable suture loops.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
