Vesair Cystoscopes are indicated to provide the user with the means for endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures. Examples for the devices include the visualization and manipulation of anatomy as the surgeon deems appropriate. Vesair Cystoscopes are intended to be used in general urological surgery through a minimally invasive approach by utilizing natural orifices to access the surgical site.

The Vesair Cystoscopes described in this submission are rigid reusable endoscopes for visualization of the operating site during cystoscopic minimally invasive procedures in conjunction with a commercially available light guide, light source, video camera, monitor, and printer. Light that is created by an external light source is transmitted from the endoscope's light guide connector through the endoscope itself to the tip via a fiber optic system. Images are transferred the other way back through a rigid lens system. Technical parameters of the Vesair Cystoscopes that characterize the optical view are the Direction of View (0°, 30°, 70°) and the Field of View (105°). The image can be displayed by a camera/monitor system which can be connected to the endoscope eyepiece. The Vesair Cystoscopes have the same diameter (4mm), and are available in different lengths of the insertion tube (0° - 280mm length, 30° - 185mm or 278mm length, 70° - 185mm or 281mm length). None of the cystoscope models have a working channel. Like other currently marketed rigid cystoscopes, all models have patient-contacting outer surfaces mainly made from metal (304 stainless steel) and incorporate fiber optics for light transmission and rigid lenses for image transmission. Each cystoscope model is provided non-sterile and requires cleaning and steam sterilization prior to use and between subsequent uses.
