Intended Use
EG Family: This instrument is intended to be used with a PENTAX 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 upper digestive tract including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. EC Family: This instrument is intended to be used with a PENTAX 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 digestive tract including the anus, rectum, sigmoid colon, colon and ileocecal valve.
Device Description
The PENTAX Medical Video Upper G.I. scopes (EG Family) and Colonoscopes (EC Family) are used with Video Processors. They are composed of three main components: Insertion Portion, Control Body and PVE Connector. The Insertion Portion is inserted into the body cavity of patient. The Insertion Portion includes the Distal End and Bending Section. The Objective Lens, Light Guide, and Instrument Channel are located on the Distal End of the Insertion. The Distal End also contains an Air/Water Nozzle and Water Jet Nozzle. This Air/Water Feeding System is used to deliver the air and water to the Objective Lens. The Control Body is held by the user's hand. The Control Body includes the Angulation Control lever used to operate the endoscope angulation; Suction Cylinder and Suction Nipple for suctioning fluid and air in the body cavity; Remote Button used to operate the function of video processor; and Instrument Channel Inlet used to insert endotherapy devices, such as biopsy forceps, into the body cavity. The Magnification Control Lever is used to magnify the image on the video monitor, as necessary. As this magnification function is performed electrically, focus and depth of field are not changed. The PVE Connector is connected to the Video Processor via an Electrical Contacts. The PVE Connector includes the Electrical Contacts and Light Guide Plug. The Light Guide Plug is connected to the Light Source inside the Video Processor. The Light Guide of the Distal End is used to illuminate the body cavity by light that is carried through the Light Carrying Bundle. The Light Carrying Bundle guides the light from Light Guide Plug that is connected to the Light Source. The CCD built into the Distal End receives reflected light (image data) from the body cavity, and sends the image data to the Video Processor through the video cable. The image data are converted into the image signal by the Video Processor, and the image inside the body cavity is displayed on the Monitor. The PENTAX Medical Video Upper G.I. scopes and Colonoscopes are reusable semi-critical devices. Since they are packaged non-sterile, they must be high-level disinfected or sterilized before initial use. Prior to each subsequent procedure, they must be subjected to an appropriate cleaning and either high-level disinfection or sterilization processes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and basic image processing for display, with no mention of AI or ML for analysis or interpretation.

No.
The device described is an endoscope used for visualization and to facilitate endoscopic procedures, not to directly treat a condition. It is used with "Endotherapy Devices such as a Biopsy Forceps," which implies the endotherapy device itself would be the therapeutic device, not the scope.

Yes
Explanation: The device is used to display images from inside the body cavity on a monitor, which is a common function for diagnostic purposes (e.g., identifying abnormalities, lesions, etc.). The mention of intended use for "endoscopy" and the display of "the image inside the body cavity" supports its diagnostic capability.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components such as the Insertion Portion, Control Body, PVE Connector, Objective Lens, Light Guide, Instrument Channel, Air/Water Nozzle, Water Jet Nozzle, Angulation Control lever, Suction Cylinder, Suction Nipple, Remote Button, Instrument Channel Inlet, Magnification Control Lever, Light Guide Plug, Light Carrying Bundle, and CCD. These are all tangible hardware elements, not solely software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the instrument is for endoscopy and endoscopic surgery within the upper and lower digestive tracts. This involves direct visualization and intervention within the body, not the examination of specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a device designed for insertion into the body, with components like an insertion portion, control body, and connector to a video processor for displaying images of the internal anatomy. This is consistent with an endoscopic device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performing tests on them in vitro.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is designed for direct visualization and intervention within the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

PENTAX Medical conducted a Summative Human Factors Study to validate the effectiveness and the risk management measures that are in place for the reprocessing of the EG29-i10 Video Gastroscope with a water jet channel. An ancillary study of the EC-3890TLK limited to its second therapeutic channel was carried out with the same group of stakeholders. The combination of these 2 scopes provides adequate Human Factors evaluation of all design features of EG/EC families related to reprocessing. As a result of testing, use errors, close calls and difficulties were observed to have occurred in some critical tasks. However, it is estimated that the risks identified, and the root causes assigned to those risks can be reduced and/or mitigated via additional modifications of the rIFU design and the further refinement of the training materials.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGY CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE

The subject devices are identical to the predicate devices. The subject devices have the same fundamental technology and operating principles of the predicate devices, including the same intended use and design technological characteristics, such as Insertion Portion, Control Body and fiberoptic illumination. There are no differences in specifications, including, but not limited to, the depth of field, distal end width, insertion tube width, instrument channel width, and total length. The sole difference between the subject and predicate device is that the reprocessing instructions have been simplified by breaking down rIFUs into (5) separate groups. This modification does not impact the intended use and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The optimization of the reprocessing instructions for the PENTAX Medical Video Upper GI scopes and Colonoscopes do not affect the biocompatibility, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, software verification and validation, or performance testing for the scopes.

VIII. HUMAN FACTORS

PENTAX Medical conducted a Summative Human Factors Study to validate the effectiveness and the risk management measures that are in place for the reprocessing of the EG29-i10 Video Gastroscope with a water jet channel. An ancillary study of the EC-3890TLK limited to its second therapeutic channel was carried out with the same group of stakeholders.

The combination of these 2 scopes provides adequate Human Factors evaluation of all design features of EG/EC families related to reprocessing.

As a result of testing, use errors, close calls and difficulties were observed to have occurred in some critical tasks. However, it is estimated that the risks identified, and the root causes assigned to those risks can be reduced and/or mitigated via additional modifications of the rIFU design and the further refinement of the training materials.

VIII. CONCLUSION

The subject devices are identical to the predicate devices. The subject devices have the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate devices. There are no changes to the design of the subject devices.

The data submitted support the separation of reprocessing instructions into 5 groups for the PENTAX Medical Video Upper G.I. scopes and Colonoscopes demonstrate that the scopes can be reprocessed in a safe and effective manner.

The data provided in this 510(k) Premarket Notification support the equivalence of the subject and predicate devices.
