- (a) Identification. An endoscopic light-projecting measuring device projects light on a mucosal surface and uses software to determine the dimensions of observable features of interest.
(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:
(1) In vivo performance testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use. Testing must evaluate:
- (i) Visualization during the procedure;
- (ii) Ease of procedure as reported by the intended user; and
- (iii) User acceptability of imaging time.
(2) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use. The following performance characteristics must be tested:
- (i) Accuracy validation;
- (ii) Endoscope compatibility testing;
- (iii) Battery life testing;
- (iv) Durability testing; and
- (v) Light safety testing.
- (3) The patient-contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
- (4) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
- (5) Electrical, thermal, and mechanical safety testing must be performed.
- (6) Performance testing must demonstrate electromagnetic compatibility of the device in the intended use environment.
- (7) Methods and instructions for reprocessing reusable components must be validated.
(8) Labeling must include:
- (i) Device technical parameters, including a description of the accuracy of the device;
- (ii) Information regarding endoscope compatibility;
- (iii) Warning for light hazards and protection for patient and operator; and
- (iv) Validated reprocessing instructions.
