Intended Use
Endoscopic Distal Attachment is intended to be used in combination with compatible endoscopes to maintain the field of view during endoscopic procedures such as mucosal resection.
Device Description
The Endoscopic Distal Attachment is an additional device, made of TPU designed to attach to the distal end of the endoscope. The device is composed of three main portions: an attaching portion, a distal portion, and a drain portion. The attaching portion is a wider diameter opening which is used to connect the attachment to a compatible endoscope; the distal portion is the ending portion of the attachment which tapers into narrower diameter opening. The hole, which is only available for some models, forms drain portion which prevent the fluids lodging on the surface of the endoscope. The Endoscopic Distal Attachment can be used in combination with compatible endoscopes to maintain an appropriate endoscopic field of view. The Endoscopic Distal Attachment has six models, depending on different surface design (flat or incline), with or without hole and with scale or without scale. The models include models of flat face without hole, flat face with hole, inclined face without hole, inclined face with hole, flat face without hole with scale and flat face.

No.

The device description, intended use, and performance studies do not mention any AI, machine learning, or deep learning components. It is a passive mechanical accessory for endoscopes.

No.
The device's intended use is to maintain the field of view during endoscopic procedures, which is a supportive function for the procedure rather than directly treating a disease or condition. While essential for certain medical procedures (like mucosal resection), it does not exert a therapeutic effect itself but rather facilitates the therapeutic act of the endoscope.

No

Explanation: The device is an attachment for endoscopes intended to maintain the field of view during procedures; it does not independently identify, detect, or analyze medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical attachment made of TPU that attaches to an endoscope. The description extensively details its physical components, materials, and mechanical testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or digital processing.

No.
The device is an accessory for an endoscope to maintain the field of view during endoscopic procedures. It does not perform tests on biological samples to provide diagnostic information.

Dear Song Wei:

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.

Discussion on differences between the subject device and the predicate device

The principle of operation and intended use of the subject device AF-D series are identical to that of the predicate device FUJIFILM Hood Model DH-28GR, DH-29CR, DH-30CR (K162749). The modifications done to the subject device include changes in dimensions to make it be applicable to different specifications of endoscopes from different manufacturers. Comparison of performance tests have been conducted on the subject device and the predicate device to validate the mechanical performance of the subject device is equivalent to the predicate device. In addition, tests to address safety against tissue damage, connection reliability and resistance against endoscope damage in combination assembly with the compatible endoscopes have been conducted on the subject device, the favorable test results demonstrated the subject device's safety on such issue concerns. Such differences do not alter the intended use or fundamental technology of the subject devices neither affects their safety and effectiveness.

VII. Summary of substantial equivalence discussion

Based on the above comparison table as well as discussion on differences, the subject device and the predicate device have similar design features and performance specifications. There are no differences on device composition and component material used on both devices. Although there are some differences on size specification parameters on the subject device and predicate device, such differences will not affect the effectiveness and safety of the subject device as different size design is dependent on the different size of the applicable endoscope. In addition, a performance comparison testing between the subject device and the predicate device is implemented and all performances including mechanical property and chemical property are verified to confirm the performance of the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. These technological differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device when used as labeled.

VIII. Summary of Non-clinical Data

Non-clinical testing for Endoscopic Distal Attachment was conducted to verify that the subject device met all design specifications, demonstrated safety and essential
