## Device Description
The Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope and Accessories comprise several models of rigid endoscopes as well as rigid endoscopic sheaths, obturators, and instrument bridges; the currently marketed system also includes a flexible grasping forceps. This Premarket Notification adds two rigid cystoscope/hysteroscope accessories (optical scissors and optical grasping forceps), both of which have been designed and are intended for use with the currently marketed Schoelly 4mm rigid cystoscope/hysteroscope and 20Fr sheath cleared in K150158. There are no changes to any of the other system components or accessories, nor are there any changes to the Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope and Accessories indications for use.
The optical scissors and optical grasping forceps accessories both consist of a rigid shaft with an inner lumen that accommodates the 4mm Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope. The outer diameter and the working length of both accessories are 4.6mm and 266mm, respectively. During application, the scissor or the forceps can be attached to the cystoscope via a simple mechanical locking located at the very proximal portion of the devices. The scissor or grasper is then inserted through a 20Fr Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope Sheath while being connected to the Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope. Another mechanical locking mechanism allows the user to lock all three coaxial components (scope, scissor/grasper accessory, and sheath) together. The scissor and grasper accessories incorporate a control handle. Operation of the control handle actuates the distal tip double action jaws via a pull wire mechanism. The optical scissor and grasper accessories are made entirely of stainless steel. The accessories are reusable instruments that are supplied nonsterile.
## Indications for Use
The Schoelly Cystoscopes/Hysteroscopes and Accessories with additional Optical Grasping Forceps (51-0575a) and Optical Scissor (51-0576a) are indicated to provide the user with the means for endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures. Examples for the use of the devices include the visualization and manipulation of anatomy as the surgeon deems appropriate.

The Schoelly Cystoscopes/Hysteroscopes and Accessories with additional Optical Grasping Forceps (51-0575a) and Optical Scissor (51-0576a) are intended to be used in general urological and gynecological surgery through a minimally invasive approach by utilizing natural orifices to access the surgical site.
There are no changes to the indications for use due to the addition of two new accessories.
Substantial Equivalence / Comparison of Technical Characteristics with the Predicate Device The predicate device system consists of the Schoelly Cystoscopes and Accessories cleared in K150158. A detailed comparison of the subject and predicate device systems is provided in the substantial equivalence table below.
The Richard Wolf E-Line Cysto-Urethroscope and Accessories cleared in K011496 is cited as a reference device in this submission because it represents an example of an integrated rigid endoscope system that includes optical scissors and optical grasping forceps accessories with the same essential design as the new Schoelly optical accessories.
