ACMI M4 Series Telescopes are intended for use in patients requiring endoscopic evaluation or for surgical procedures of the urological or gynecological systems.
Device Story
ACMI M4 Series Telescopes are rigid, autoclavable optical instruments (4mm diameter, 31cm length) used for visualization during diagnostic and surgical procedures in urology and gynecology. The device is inserted through endoscopic instruments such as cystourethroscopes, hysteroscopes, or resectoscopes. Available in four viewing angles (0°, 12°, 30°, 70°), the telescope transmits optical images to assist the physician in viewing anatomy. Operated by physicians in clinical settings, the device provides direct visualization to guide therapeutic or diagnostic interventions, potentially improving procedural accuracy and patient outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.

Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring endoscopic evaluation or surgical procedures of the urological or gynecological systems.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.

## Product Description
ACMI M4 Telescopes are optical devices that are used along with endoscopic accessories for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in urology and gynecology. They are designed to be inserted through an endoscopic device such as an ACMI cystourethroscope, hysteroscope, or resectoscope. M4 Telescopes are (4mm diameter, 31 cm long) rigid autoclavable optical instruments available in four directions of view: M4-0A, direct (0°), M4-12A, operative (12°), M4-30A, foroblique (30°), and M4-70A, lateral (70°), to assist the physician in visualization of the anatomy during diagnostic and surgical procedures.
## Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
The M4 Series Telescopes are substantially equivalent to features incorporated in the M2 and M3 telescopes, as described in K890328/B, the ACMI Resectoscope System and accessories. The M2 and M3 telescopes are legally marketed predicate devices. The M4 Series designs utilize similar telescope technology (design, materials, and performance specifications) as in the predicate devices and, therefore, are substantially equivalent to the ACMI M2 and M3 series telescopes.
## Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
This 510(k) proposes several modifications in materials, design, and the manufacturing process for the M4 Series telescopes. The indications for use and principles of operation remain the same as in the predicate devices. The proposed modifications for the M4 Series Telescopes, as described in this submission, are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The proposed modification in materials, design, and processing are not substantial changes or modifications, and do not significantly affect the safety or efficacy of the devices.
In summary, ACMI believes the ACMI M4 Series telescopes are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, because they have the same intended use and similar technological characteristics.
