Endoscopic Camera System is a camera control unit (CCU) for use with camera heads and video endoscopes for visualization, image recording and documentation during general endoscopic and microscopic procedures.
The device consists of a camera control unit (CCU) and a camera head.
The device is intended to be used to connect with an optical endoscope during the endoscopic diagnosis and/or treatment/surgery, and to capture, process and transmit images in the human body cavity under the field of view observed by the endoscope to the monitor.
There are 4 models of the device. The hardware configuration of the device of 4 models are same, and difference is different functions which opened up through software.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter describes an Endoscopic Camera System (K250204) and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Image1 SPIES System, K160044). However, it does not provide detailed acceptance criteria or the specific results of a study (e.g., clinical study) that quantitatively proves the device meets strict performance thresholds.
The letter primarily focuses on the device's technical specifications and compliance with non-clinical performance tests relevant to the safety and fundamental function of an endoscopic camera system. It highlights that the device "met all its specifications" and that bench tests demonstrated the device's characteristics have been met, but it does not specify what those specifications or characteristics are in measurable terms related to clinical performance.
Based on the provided text, here's an attempt to answer your questions, highlighting what is available and what is explicitly missing:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document states: "The bench test data for the Endoscopic Camera System demonstrates that the design characteristics used as the basis for the comparison have been met. The results show that the subject device has met all its specifications." and "The bench testing performed verified and validated that the Endoscopic Camera System has met all its design specification and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Image1 SPIES System."
However, the specific acceptance criteria (measurable thresholds) and the quantitative reported device performance for these specifications are NOT detailed in this public FDA 510(k) clearance letter.
The letter mentions "minor technology differences" in:
- Horizontal resolution
- Spatial frequency response
- Field of view
- Focal length
- Dimensions
- Weight of camera head
- Image delay
- Video output
- USB port of CCU
For these parameters, the letter ambiguously states that these differences "does not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness." It implies that the new device's performance for these characteristics is either equivalent or acceptably different without introducing new risks compared to the predicate, but specific numbers are not provided.
| Acceptance Criteria (Example/Inferred) | Reported Device Performance (Not Provided Quantitatively in Letter) |
|---|---|
| Horizontal Resolution = [X] | Met specification, equivalent to predicate K160044 |
| Spatial Frequency Response = [Y] | Met specification, equivalent to predicate K160044 |
| Field of View = [Z] | Met specification, equivalent to predicate K160044 |
| Focal Length = [A] | Met specification, equivalent to predicate K160044 |
| Image Delay |
§ 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.
