DEVICE NAME Proprietary Name: Common/Usual Name: Classification Name: Light Guide Cable Fiberoptic Cable Surgical Lamp #### 3. PREDICATE DEVICE Endoscopic Fiber Optic Cable marketed by Isolux America, K991208 #### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Light guide cable consists of glass fibers which are glued or fused into ferrules on both ends. The ends are polished to effectively transmit light and are equipped with standard endoscope connectors to transmit visible light from the light source to the intended instrument. The fibers are covered by Silicone sheathing for ease of handling and protecting the fibers from damage. The device is intended to be Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilized by the user. Sterilization information is contained in section 14. #### 5. INTENDED USE The Light Guide Cable is indicated for use in transmitting light for illumination purposes from an illuminator to various instruments such as headlights, microscopes and endoscopes, providing illumination in body cavities during examinations or surgical procedures. {1}------------------------------------------------ K 111342 2/2 ## 6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE The characteristics of the Light Guide Cable are substantially equivalent to the following current legally marketed predicate devices based on intended use, typical o linical use, and operational and fundamental technological characteristics. Endoscopic Fiber Optic Cable marketed by Isolux America, K991208 A detailed side-by-side comparison of the Light Guide Cable with the identified predicate device is provided in the substantial equivalence discussion in this premarket notficulon. #### 7. PERFORMANCE TESTING The Light Guide Cable performance testing includes electrical safety testing and sterilization validation to the appropriate FDA Recognized Consensus Stardands The results of this performance testing conclude that the technological characteristics have not diminished the safety and effectiveness of the Light Guide Cable when compared to the predicate device. #### 8. CONCLUSION Based on the similarities in indication for use, design, functional, and operational features the Light Guide Cable has demonstrated substantial equivalence to the listed legally marketed predicate device and any differences do not affect the product's safety or effectiveness. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) of the United States.
