Flexible video bronchoscope, single-use

A flexible video bronchoscope, single-use is a disposable 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 assistance, and diagnostic or therapeutic interventions such as bronchoalveolar lavage.

As a single-use device, it is intended for one patient and one procedure before disposal, eliminating the need for reprocessing and reducing cross-contamination risk. Regulatory oversight focuses on its design, sterility, and performance as a sterile, single-use medical device, with classification and supply requirements based on its intended use and inherent risks as defined in the reference definition.
