Intended Use

The Olympus Integrated Endosurgery System EndoALPHA has been designed to be used with an Olympus endoscope ancillary equipment for central operation, central display, automatic initial setting and interlocking operation of the ancillary equipment.

Device Description

Olympus EndoAlpha Integrated Endoscopy System is the remote control unit of Olympus legally marketed ancillary equipment. No new clinical functions are added to the above ancillary equipment by the proposed device. This subject device enables the remote control of the ancillary equipment, the display of their action status and the memory of the previous set-up values.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the Olympus Integrated Endoscopy System EndoALPHA, but it does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, or a study conducted to prove that the device meets specific criteria.

The document is a 510(k) summary from 1998, which primarily focuses on:

  • Identification of the device and manufacturer.
  • Comparison to predicate devices: It states the device is a remote control unit for legally marketed ancillary equipment and adds no new clinical functions. This is the core of its argument for substantial equivalence.
  • Intended Use.
  • Technological Characteristics: Emphasizes that "no new clinical functions are added" and therefore "does not affect safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate devices."
  • Non-clinical Tests: Mentions compliance with voluntary safety standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2, CISPR 11) and software validation.
  • FDA's finding of substantial equivalence.

Because the device is a remote control unit that does not add new clinical functions, the validation appears to be centered around demonstrating electrical safety, material compatibility (no new patient-contacting materials), software validation for the remote control functionality, and adherence to relevant safety standards. There is no mention of clinical performance studies, diagnostic accuracy, or human factor studies in the context of specific acceptance criteria.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and study details based on the provided text. The document positions the device as substantially equivalent to existing predicate devices due to its lack of new clinical functionality, rather than presenting new performance data against specific clinical criteria.

Summary including a Brief Discussion of Non-clinical Tests and How their H. Results support Determination of Safety & Efficacy

Design -

Olympus EndoAlpha Integrated Endoscopy System has been designed, manufactured and tested in compliance with Voluntary Safety Standards. It meets the requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2, as well as CISPR 11.

Materials -There are no new materials and patient-contacting materials.

Summary including Conclusions drawn from Non-Clinical Tests I.

When compared to the predicate devices, Olympus EndoAlpha Integrated Endoscopy System incorporates a significant change in the operating principle. However, no new clinical functions are added, and software validation has been conducted for the device relative to this change in operating principle. In terms of other issues of intended use, design and electrical safety, the subject device, EndoAlpha, does not incorporate any significant change that could affect the safety of effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Storms-Tyler:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantiation assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmaldsmam.html".
