Stellar Imaging System is intended to provide real-time visible and near-infrared imaging in minimally invasive procedures.
Upon intravenous administration and use of an ICG agent consistent with its approved label, Stellar Imaging System is used to perform fluorescence imaging visualization of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion, and at least one of the major extra-hepatic bile ducts.
Upon interstitial administration and use of an ICG agent consistent with its approved label, the Stellar Imaging System is used to perform intraoperative fluorescence imaging and visualization of the lymphatic system, including lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.
Stellar Imaging System comprises Image Processing Unit, Light Source, Camera Head, Laparoscope and relevant accessories. During surgical procedures, Stellar Imaging System is used to provide real-time 3D visible and fluorescence imaging in endoscopic surgery.
The Stellar Imaging System including the laparoscope is designed to work with an approved infrared dye (Indocyanine green (ICG). ICG may be excited at excitation at either 785 or 805 nm. The System provides excitation light to the surgical field to excite the dye molecules and captures emission from the dye via the camera head. Fluorescence imaging with ICG permits the system to visualize blood flow and related tissue circulation, of lymphatic flow, etc.
The System allows the capture of normal (white) light image in parallel with the fluorescence image and displays both to the surgeon to provide a view of the anatomy. In addition, the System permits recording surgical procedures, storing them on removable storage devices, and replaying the procedures.

Dear Minghua Wu:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"
