The device features a distal glass lens and a proximal adapter with a bayonet fitting and light post for connection to an external light source. It is designed to be used in conjunction with an ERCP cannula for steering stability and is inserted through the working channel of a duodenoscope. Operated by a physician during endoscopic procedures, the probe provides real-time visual feedback to the clinician, facilitating diagnostic and therapeutic interventions within the hepatic ducts and pancreaticobiliary tree. The device benefits patients by enabling direct visualization of the target anatomy, potentially improving the accuracy and efficacy of endoscopic procedures. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Evidence includes a comparison of optical performance and image quality specifications against the Visicath Imaging Catheter, and electrical safety testing performed in accordance with industry standards. ## Technological Characteristics Fiberoptic miniscope; distal glass lens; proximal adapter with bayonet fitting and light post; used with ERCP cannula and duodenoscope; electrical safety per industry standards. ## Regulatory 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.
