Intended Use

The PENTAX Medical Video Processor EPK-i8020c is intended to be used with the PENTAX Medical camera heads, endoscopes, light sources, monitors and other ancillary equipment for gastrointestinal and pulmonary endoscopic diagnosis, treatment and video observation.

The PENTAX Medical EPK-i8020c includes a digital post-processing imaging enhancement technology (PENTAX i-ScanTM), and optical imaging enhancement technology (OE). These imaging enhancement technologies are intended to be used as an optional adjunct following traditional white light endoscopy and is not intended to replace histopathological sampling. i-Scan and OE are compatible with PENTAX Medical video gastrointestinal endoscopes and bronchoscopes.

Device Description

The PENTAX Medical Video Processor EPK-i8020c is intended to be used with PENTAX Medical endoscopes, monitors and other peripheral devices for endoscopic diagnosis, treatment, and video observation. The video processor consists of a video system, integrated light source, monitor, and ancillary equipment.

The EPK-i8020c includes a digital post-processing imaging enhancement technology (PENTAX Medical i-scan™) and an optical imaging enhancement technology (OE). These post-imaging functions are not intended to replace histopathological sampling.

The brand name "INSPIRA™" is provided for the EPK-i8020c video processor and the name is found in the instructions for use (IFU) and/or in the commercial materials such as brochures.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the PENTAX Medical Video Processor (EPK-i8020c) does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and the detailed study proving the device meets those criteria.

This document primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on minor software modifications and changes to instructions for use. It states that "The changes to the subject device were evaluated through performance testing in design validation/verification. This testing did not raise any issues regarding the safety and effectiveness of the device, as these differences do not affect the performance, function, or general intended use of the device."

However, it does not provide any specific acceptance criteria, reported device performance metrics against those criteria, or the details of the study methodology (sample size, data provenance, expert involvement, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance, ground truth, training set specifics).

Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot complete the requested information. The document explicitly states:

  • "NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA" section, point iii. "System Performance": "The system performance of the subject device demonstrated the equivalence to the predicate device."
  • This suggests that the performance verification for this 510(k) relied on demonstrating equivalence to an already cleared predicate, rather than a de novo clinical or rigorous standalone performance study with specific acceptance criteria that would then be detailed.

Without access to the actual design validation/verification reports that were submitted to the FDA detailing the performance testing, it's impossible to answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them.

The sections for acceptance criteria, study details, and related information would be empty or marked as "Not Provided in Document" if I were to adhere strictly to the given text.

In summary, the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter does not describe the acceptance criteria or a dedicated study proving device performance against those criteria in the level of detail requested.

§ 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.
