Indications for Use

For use by practitioners to treat the small joints of the wrist, knee, ankles, elbow, shoulder, and the temporal-mandibular joint in patients in a MR or an interventional MR environment, not to exceed a 1.5 Tesla static magnetic field.

Device Story

Arthroscopes designed for visualization and treatment of small joints; used in MR or interventional MR environments. Device operates in static magnetic fields up to 1.5 Tesla. Available in 1.7mm, 2.7mm, and 4.0mm sizes with 0°, 30°, or 70° angles. Operated by physicians in clinical or interventional MR settings. Provides visual access to joint structures to facilitate surgical or diagnostic procedures. MR compatibility allows for real-time or concurrent imaging during procedures, potentially improving surgical precision and patient outcomes.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; MR compatibility testing performed to confirm safety in 1.5 Tesla static magnetic fields.

Technological Characteristics

Rigid arthroscopes available in 1.7mm, 2.7mm, and 4.0mm diameters; 0°, 30°, or 70° viewing angles. Designed for MR compatibility in fields up to 1.5 Tesla.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by practitioners to treat small joints (wrist, knee, ankle, elbow, shoulder, temporal-mandibular) in patients within a MR or interventional MR environment (up to 1.5 Tesla).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An arthroscope is an electrically powered endoscope intended to make visible the interior of a joint. The arthroscope and accessories also is intended to perform surgery within a joint.

Sfeir, RAC Director, Regulatory Affairs Greatbatch Scientific 4100 Barton Road Clarence, New York 14031 Re: K971781 > Trade Name: Greatbatch Scientific MR Compatible Arthroscopes and Small Joint Arthroscopes --- . . . . . . . . . . . . - Regulatory Class: II Product Code: HRX Dated: September 5, 1997 Received: September 8, 1997 Dear Mr. Sfeir: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are substantially equivalent (for the indieations for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the devices, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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. If your devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submissions does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {2}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Mr. Gary J. Sfeir, RAC This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
