DEVICE: BR Surgical, LLC (00857556008574)

An electro-optical device (e.g., a CCD) designed to be attached, either directly or with an adaptor, to a flexible or rigid endoscope to allow real-time viewing of the internal anatomy during an endoscopic surgical procedure and to obtain moving-picture documentation of endoscopic findings and procedures. The device is designed for transducing visual images as a sequence of electronic data following a pre-established standard; the images are usually displayed sequentially on the screen of a monitor as a video image. The device may include audio recording capabilities.

An electrically-powered device designed to receive and process the electronic signals sent from a video endoscope or endoscopic video camera; it does not include the endoscope nor light source and is not designed to control the endoscope. It may have additional features which compensate for/enhance the colour and light qualities provided. The resulting picture images are sent to and shown on a visual display unit (VDU), typically to assist the endoscope operator with an ongoing intervention and often to allow the patient visualization of the process; the images can be recorded on a video recorder or stored on computerized media.
