DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES MEMORANDUM Food and Drug Administration Office of Device Evaluation 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Silver Spring, MD 20904 ### Premarket Notification [510(k)] Review Corrected Substantial Equivalence Letters - New Product Codes ### K990397 Date: 1/30/2014 To: The Record From: Tuan Nguyen, Biomedical Engineer Office: ODE Division: DRGUD Branch: ULDB 510(k) Holder: K990397 Flexible Fiberscopes and Accessories Device Name: Kellie Straughn (Clerk Typist), DRGUD Previous Product Code: HRX, KOG New Product Code: HRX The product code KOG Endoscope and/or accessories under the requlation 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories has been used extensively to include a large variety of medical devices associated with endoscopes. Subsequent to the generation of KOG additional product codes have been generated that group similar devices into more specific groups. It was decided that the product code KOG would be no longer used and that all endoscopes and/or accessories would use the more specific product codes. Ms Cheryl Mackey (Program Analyst, DRUGD) identified the past 510(k)s that included the product code KOG, and Ms Christine Lee (Assistant Director Program Operations, DRGUD) assigned the new procode(s). Correction letters will be generated by Kellie Straughn (Clerk Typist) to update these devices using the new product codes.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

The symbol appears to be a stylized or abstract representation of a dog or wolf-like creature. The symbol is simple and geometric, with sharp lines and angles. #### 3.0 Technological Characteristics There are no significant technological changes or characteristics to the new devices compared to the existing devices. The tip of the sheath has an active deflection up to 360°, depending on the fiberscope. The deflecting position can be locked with a brake on some fiberscopes. The image is transmitted via objective, fiber bundle and eyepiece for direct view or connection to a video camera. The total number of pixels and the fibers per mm² are increased to get an image with higher resolution. Biopsy material can be taken by the wide working channel, which is simultaneously used for irrigation. Auxiliarv instruments such as forceps are inserted via a proximal mounted insertion cock with supply and discharge. #### 4.0 Substantial Equivalence The submitted devices pose the same type of questions about safety or effectiveness as the compared devices. The new technological characteristics have not diminished safety or effectiveness. The submitted devices are substantially equivalent to existing pre-enactment and 510(k) devices sold by Richard Wolf in the urology branch. In addition, the submitted devices are substantially equivalent to devices sold by Clarus, and Sofamor Danek. #### 5.0 Performance Data No known FDA performance standard exists. #### 6.0 Clinical Tests Clinical tests performed were not performed. #### 7.0 Conclusions Drawn These devices are designed and tested to assure their safety and effectiveness when used according to the instructions manual.
