Intended Use

The G-EYE® colonoscope is intended to be used with a compatible video processor (including light source), documentation equipment, monitor, endotherapy device such as a biopsy forceps, and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery within the lower gastrointestinal tract including the anus, rectum, sigmoid colon, colon and ileocecal valve. It incorporates a balloon at the colonoscope to maintain central positioning within the lumen and help control the endoscope's view field and/or endoscope positioning.

Device Description

The G-EYE® System comprises the G-EYE® Colonoscope and the NaviAid™ SPARKC ("SPARKC") inflation pump. The G-EYE® Colonoscope includes a reprocessable, reusable balloon (the G-EYE® balloon) that is attached to a standard, commercially available colonoscope which is remanufactured by Smart Medical to include the balloon at its bending section. The installation of the balloon onto the standard colonoscope is considered remanufacturing of the standard colonoscope by Smart Medical, which assumes responsibility for the final device including the G-EYE® balloon and the remanufactured colonoscope. The G-EYE® balloon is inflated by the dedicated SPARKC inflation system, which enables automatic control of the required balloon pressure in one of several user-selected, systemcontrolled pressure levels such that the balloon conforms to the colonic lumen diameter. The G-EYE® Colonoscope is advanced by the endoscopist with the balloon deflated, which essentially preserves the standard colonoscope's diameter and insertion technique. At the cecum, the balloon is inflated to engage the colon walls, and the colonoscope is then withdrawn by the endoscopist using standard withdrawal technique. Withdrawal of the inflated balloon mechanically straightens the colonic folds and anatomic flexures, centers the colonoscope optics within the colonic lumen, and minimizes uncontrolled bowel slippage during withdrawal, therefore maintaining the endoscope's field of view

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the G-EYE® System, aiming to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device. The submission focuses on expanding the range of compatible endoscope models and affirms that this change does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

While the document details various nonclinical tests conducted to support substantial equivalence (reprocessing validation, biocompatibility, software verification/validation, electrical safety, and verification bench testing), it does not provide a table of specific acceptance criteria or reported device performance for these tests in a quantifiable manner. It merely states that "Each of these tests met its acceptance criteria, supporting substantial equivalence to the predicate."

Furthermore, the document mentions the availability of clinical data from five studies involving approximately 4500 subjects, stating that these studies "demonstrated that the device functioned as intended, with no serious device-related adverse events" and "facilitates visualization of the colonic mucosa surface area." However, it does not present the specific acceptance criteria or the study results for these clinical studies in a way that directly addresses quantitative performance metrics or comparative effectiveness.

Given the information provided in the input, it is not possible to fully address all parts of your request. The response below will focus on what can be extracted from the text.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The G-EYE® Colonoscope is intended to be used with a compatible video processor (including light source), documentation equipment, monitor, endotherapy device such as a biopsy forceps, and other ancillary equipment for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery within the lower gastrointestinal tract including the anus, rectum, sigmoid colon, colon and ileocecal valve. It incorporates a balloon at the distal end of the colonoscope to maintain central positioning within the lumen and help control the endoscope's view field and/or endoscope's positioning.

Device Description

The G-EYE® System comprises the G-EYE® Colonoscope and the NaviAid™ SPARKC ("SPARKC") inflation pump. The G-EYE® Colonoscope includes a reprocessable, reusable balloon (the G-EYE® balloon) that is attached to a standard, commercially available colonoscope which is remanufactured by Smart Medical to include the balloon at its bending section. The installation of the balloon onto the standard colonoscope is considered

{4}------------------------------------------------

remanufacturing of the standard colonoscope by Smart Medical, which assumes responsibility for the final device including the G-EYE® balloon and the remanufactured colonoscope. The G-EYE® balloon is inflated by the dedicated SPARKC inflation system, which enables automatic control of the required balloon pressure in one of several user-selected, systemcontrolled pressure levels such that the balloon conforms to the colonic lumen diameter. The G-EYE® Colonoscope is advanced by the endoscopist with the balloon deflated, which essentially preserves the standard colonoscope's diameter and insertion technique. At the cecum, the balloon is inflated to engage the colon walls, and the colonoscope is then withdrawn by the endoscopist using standard withdrawal technique. Withdrawal of the inflated balloon mechanically straightens the colonic folds and anatomic flexures, centers the colonoscope optics within the colonic lumen, and minimizes uncontrolled bowel slippage during withdrawal, therefore maintaining the endoscope's field of view

Technological Characteristics

The G-EYE® System is nearly identical to the previously cleared version of the device ("Predicate Device") (K202469). Both the subject device and Predicate Device have the same indications for use and principles of operation and substantially similar technological characteristics and materials.

The subject device and Predicate Device are both multi-use and intended to be reprocessed. Similar to the predicate, the G-EYE® Colonoscope is reprocessed in accordance with the reprocessing instructions of the original endoscope manufacturer with supplemental instructions related to the G-EYE® balloon. The current submission solely expands the range of endoscope models. This difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, as confirmed by the company's reprocessing validation testing.

The materials of the G-EYE® Colonoscope are substantially similar to those of the Predicate Device, and any differences in the materials of the G-EYE® Colonoscope and the predicate device do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. This was confirmed through the company's biocompatibility testing and performance testing.

Both the G-EYE® System and the Predicate Device feature a standard colonoscope. All compatible colonoscopes are 510(k) cleared and have an insertion tube diameter of 11.0mm - 13.2mm. The primary difference between the G-EYE® Colonoscope of the G-EYE® System and the G-EYE® colonoscope of the Predicate Device is the underlying standard colonoscope model, as noted above. As all standard colonoscopes underlying the G-EYE® Colonoscopes are 510(k) cleared colonoscopes, the minor differences among the standard colonoscopes included in the G-EYE® System and in the Predicate Device do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, and the difference does not adversely impact performance, as confirmed by the company's performance testing.

Performance Data

In support of this 510(k) premarket notification, Smart Medical conducted nonclinical testing to evaluate the performance of the G-EYE® System for its intended use. The performance testing conducted includes the following:

  • . Reprocessing validation testing consistent with FDA's quidance in Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling.

{5}------------------------------------------------

  • Biocompatibility of patient-contacting components has been established in accordance with ISO 10993-1.
  • Software verification and validation was performed, and demonstrated that the software performs as intended.
  • . Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing was conducted and results were passing in accordance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.
  • . Verification bench testing of the SPARKC and G-EYE® Colonoscope which included operational and functional testing.

Each of these tests met its acceptance criteria, supporting substantial equivalence to the predicate.

Although not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence, clinical data is available from five clinical studies that further support the safety and performance of the device for its intended use. In total, the studies included approximately 4500 subjects. All five studies demonstrated that the device functioned as intended, with no serious device-related adverse events. In addition, the studies demonstrated that the device served its intended function, and that the mechanical straightening of the colonic flexures provided by the G-EYE® System facilitates visualization of the colonic mucosa surface area.

Substantial Equivalence

The G-EYE® System and its Predicate Device have the same intended use, same indications, same principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics. The minor technological differences do not present different questions of safety or effectiveness than the Predicate Device, and accepted scientific methods exist to evaluate the performance of the G-EYE® System compared to its Predicate Device. Performance data has demonstrated that the G-EYE® System is as safe and effective as its predicate. Thus, the G-EYE® System is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared G-EYE® System (K202469).
