Endoscopic irrigation/aspiration pumps are medical devices designed to create controlled pressure for flushing and removing fluids from body cavities or passageways during endoscopic procedures. They help maintain visibility for the surgeon by clearing debris, blood, or excess fluid while the endoscope is in use, such as during arthroscopy or cystoscopy.
These devices are typically regulated as active medical devices due to their electrical components and pressure-generating functions. They are often supplied as standalone units or integrated with endoscopic systems, with compliance requirements varying by region. Classification depends on factors like pressure output and intended clinical use, but specifics are determined per device and jurisdiction.
