A flexible video bronchoscope is a reusable endoscope designed for visualizing the airways and tracheobronchial tree during bronchoscopy procedures. It features a flexible insertion tube with a distal camera and working channels, allowing real-time video transmission to a monitor for airway inspection, intubation guidance, and support of diagnostic or therapeutic interventions such as bronchoalveolar lavage.
As a reusable device, this category of bronchoscope is intended for multiple uses after proper cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization between patients. Regulatory oversight focuses on its design, reprocessing validation, and performance as a reusable medical device, with classification and requirements varying by jurisdiction based on risk and intended use.
