Class 2
Intended Use
The CMOS Video Esophagoscope SSU is intended to provide visualization of nasal sinuses, larynx, esophagus and gastroesophageal junction during diagnostic procedures. The E-Box serves as an adaptor for operating the flexible single-use videoscope on the compatible CCU.
Device Story
CMOS Video Esophagoscope SSU is a flexible, single-use video endoscope; used for visualization of nasal sinuses, larynx, esophagus, and gastroesophageal junction. System includes: CMOS Video Esophagoscope SSU, E-Box adaptor, and compatible CCU (C-HUB or C-MAC). Device captures visual images via CMOS imager; internal LED provides illumination. E-Box acts as interface between scope and CCU. Used by clinicians in diagnostic procedures. Output is real-time video displayed on CCU for physician visualization; aids in diagnostic decision-making. Single-use design eliminates need for reprocessing, reducing cross-contamination risk.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via non-clinical bench testing, including electrical safety (ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2), optical performance (ISO 8600-1, 3, 4, 5), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993).
Technological Characteristics
Flexible video endoscope; 3.5 mm shaft diameter; 750 mm length; 210° Up/140° Down deflection. CMOS imager; 110° FOV; 0° direction of view. Internal LED light source. Sterile single-use; EO sterilization (ANSI AAMI ISO 11135). Compatible with C-HUB/C-MAC CCUs via E-Box adaptor. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for visualization of nasal sinuses, larynx, esophagus, and gastroesophageal junction during diagnostic procedures in patients requiring ENT endoscopic examination.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An esophagoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the esophagoscope and is intended to examine or treat esophageal malfunction symptoms, esophageal or mediastinal disease, or to remove foreign bodies from the esophagus. When inserted, the device extends from the area of the hypopharynx to the stomach. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the flexible foreign body claw, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy forceps and flexible biopsy curette, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.

Dear Alexey Davidov:
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 (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 located 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
