Technological Comparison (21 CFR 807.92(a)(6))

a. Endoscope Model EB-710P
The product code for both predicate device and subject device is EOQ.
The EP-8000 processor has been added as a new option, but there are no other changes to the accessories.
With the addition of the EP-8000, there are no differences in the functionality, performance, or safety of the predicate device and the subject device in endoscopy.

b. Processor EP-8000
The subject and predicate devices share the same mode of operation, number of LED lamps used for light transmission and intended use. The subject device is unchanged from the Predicate device's BL-7000, which uses the same four LED colors: violet, blue, green, and amber. The subject device differs from the predicate devices VP-7000 and BL-7000 in terms of technological characteristics.

A summary of major differences between the subject device EP-8000 and the predicate devices VP-7000 and BL-7000 is provided as follows:

  • The subject device is comprised of one unit that provides both video processing and sourcing functions. The predicate devices separate the two functions into two separate. Risk analysis showed that having one unit for both video and sourcing function does not affect the effectiveness of the subject device compared to the predicate device.

  • Product CODE changed from FET, NTN, NWB, PEA to EOQ. The addition of EOQ product code does not change the intended use of the device compared to the predicate device. The EOQ for the VP-7000 and BL-7000 has been added in K220957.

  • The power rating is modified from 0.8-0.5A(VP-7000), 1.2-0.7A(BL-7000) to 2.0-1.1A. IEC testing was performed on the subject device, the difference in power rating does not impact the safety or effectiveness.

  • The subject device is compatible with the following: 700 System endoscopies (710series),500 System endoscopies. The difference in the compatible endoscope systems does not affect the safety or efficacy of the subject device, the compatible scopes are listed on the Operation Manual for EP-8000.

  • The subject device is compatible with the DK-8000E keyboard, whereas the predicate devices are compatible with the DK-7000E keyboard. The difference in compatible keyboard does not affect the safety or efficacy of the subject device, the compatible keyboard is provided with EP-8000.

  • The subject device does not offer analog output via Y/C and analog input. Not having the analog output via Y/C or analog input does not affect the safety or efficacy of the subject device because the features were taken out due to increase of digitization of external devices and the main function of the device is not changed.

  • The subject device has a Peripheral device control function. The peripheral device control function is a function that allows the processor device for endoscopes to centrally control the connected peripheral devices, but since it is the same as the control that is originally performed by each peripheral device, it does not lead to any new procedures. Therefore, it is not a change that affects the safety or effectiveness of the processor device for endoscopes.

Page 8

  • The subject device has a Function to operate this product via a tablet with an operation extension program installed by connecting this product and a tablet. Risk analysis was performed, the addition of the tablet operation in the subject device, does not increase the safety or efficacy of the subject device.

  • The dimensions are modified from 390x110x485mm (for VP-7000) and 390x155x485mm BL-7000) to 395×210×515 mm. A change in the dimensions does not affect how the device is used, the difference in dimensions does not increase the safety or efficacy of the subject device.

  • The weight is modified from 9kg (for VP-7000) and 12kg (BL-7000) to 18kg.The change in the device weight does not affect how the device is used, the difference in the weight does not increase the safety or effectiveness of the subject device.

For all imaging modes, EP-8000 demonstrated substantial equivalence to VP-7000 and BL-7000 in Image performance and color reproduction. Although there are minor differences between the proposed and predicate devices, these differences do not raise new or additional questions of safety or effectiveness of the proposed devices. Thus, the proposed device EP-8000 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
