Intended Use
The Ophthalmic Technologies i-Scope™ is intended to be used for visualization of intra-ocular structures, as a means to introduce micro instruments into the eye, or as a means to introduce laser fibers into the eye for photocoagulation.
Device Story
The OTI i-Scope is a rigid fiber-optic microendoscope used for intra-ocular visualization and surgical access. The device features an imaging fiber bundle (10,000 pixels), an illumination fiber, and a working channel for micro-instruments or disposable laser fibers. The illumination bundle connects to a Xenon light source (e.g., OTI XE-LITE or other FDA-cleared sources). The imaging bundle connects to an orientation ring, video adapter, and camera. Used by clinicians in ophthalmic procedures to visualize structures and facilitate photocoagulation. The device provides direct optical visualization via video output, assisting the surgeon in navigating the eye and performing therapeutic interventions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data required; substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing including resolution and light output comparisons.
Technological Characteristics
Rigid fiber-optic microendoscope; 10,000-pixel imaging fiber bundle; illumination fiber; working channel for micro-instruments/laser fibers. Connects to external Xenon light source and video camera system. Materials are identical to those used in predicate devices.
Indications for Use
Indicated for visualization of intra-ocular structures, introduction of micro-instruments into the eye, and introduction of laser fibers for photocoagulation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.
Special Controls
*Classification* —(1)*Class II (special controls).* The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
