The OER-Elite is intended for use in cleaning and high-level disinfection of heat sensitive Olympus flexible endoscopes, their accessories, and endoscope reprocessor accessories. Safe use requires detergent and an FDA-cleared high-level disinfectant/sterilant that Olympus has validated to be efficacious and compatible with the materials of the OER-Elite and Olympus flexible endoscopes, their accessories, and endoscope reprocessor accessories. Use of a detergent or high-level disinfectant/sterilant that has not been validated by Olympus may be ineffective and can damage the OER-Elite components and the endoscopes being reprocessed. Endoscopes must be cleaned by the user prior to reprocessing; however, use of the OER-Elite enables the user to perform modified manual cleaning of some endoscopes prior to automated cleaning and high-level disinfection in the OER-Elite.
The OER-Elite Endoscope Reprocessor is an automated endoscope reprocessor intended for high-level disinfection of Olympus flexible endoscopes, their accessories, and endoscope reprocessor accessories, utilizing both a detergent and FDA cleared high-level disinfectant validated by Olympus to be efficacious and compatible with the materials of the OER-Pro and Olympus flexible endoscopes, their accessories, and endoscope reprocessor accessories.
The OER-Elite originally featured an "extra disinfection process" which can provide an extra three-minute process for delivering fluid to both the forceps elevator area and elevator wire channel when reprocessing endoscopes with a forceps elevator.
The software of the OER-Elite was changed to apply the "extra disinfection process" to the ultrasound endoscope with balloon channel in addition to the endoscopes with a forceps elevator.
The proposed OER-Elite differs from the predicate OER-Elite in the following minor modifications:
Add "Extra disinfection process" to ultrasound endoscope with balloon channel.
Optimize the threshold values of existing error codes.
Replace the electronic cooling fan due to discontinuing of the product.
Change the material used for fluid pathways.
The OER-Elite is a one-basin automatic endoscope reprocessor that performs leak testing, cleaning, disinfection, rinsing, and an alcohol flush to render a high-level disinfected endoscope, their accessories, and endoscope reprocessor accessories.
The OER-Elite utilizes an immersion method for cleaning, disinfecting, and rinsing of endoscope and accessory external surfaces, and connectors for endoscope channel cleaning, disinfecting, and rinsing. Two endoscopes, with several exceptions, can be reprocessed simultaneously in the basin during one reprocessing cycle. The OER-Elite's cleaning cycle includes ultrasonic cleaning. which helps remove debris and dirt from endoscope surfaces.
The OER-Elite is capable of fully automated detergent/disinfectant solution dispensing and alcohol/air drying of endoscope channels. The 0.2-micron air/water filters are bacteria retentive and produce suitable rinse water and air for reprocessing. Built-in sensors detect fluid levels, fluid temperature, air/fluid pressure, fluid flow, and the operating states of the components within the OER-Elite.
The OER-Elite is also equipped with a RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) function. With a built-in antenna, the OER-Elite is capable of reading user and scope ID data from the proprietary ID tag/chip. The scope/user ID information and each reprocessing result can be printed out with a built-in printer, displayed on a touch screen, or exported to a portable memory.
The OER-Elite is capable of using a concentrated disinfectant (e.g., Acecide-C) sealed in dedicated cassette bottles. The concentrated disinfectant is automatically diluted by filtered water until it reaches a specified quantity in the device.
The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the Olympus OER-Elite Endoscope Reprocessor. This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device for a medical device (endoscope reprocessor), not an AI / Machine Learning (ML) enabled medical device. Therefore, the information requested in points 1-9 (acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set details) is not applicable to this document, as these are typically requirements for AI/ML device submissions, particularly for those involving image analysis or diagnostic support.
The OER-Elite is a physical device that cleans and disinfects endoscopes. The changes in this submission are minor modifications to its software (applying an "extra disinfection process" to an ultrasound endoscope with a balloon channel and optimizing error code thresholds), a hardware component change (cooling fan), and a material change for fluid pathways. The "performance testing" described is for the device's physical and operational parameters, not for an AI's analytical performance on data.
Therefore, since this document is not about an AI/ML device, I cannot extract the information requested in questions 1-9.
§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.
(a)
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.(b)
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.
