A flexible video choledochoscope is a single-use endoscope designed to examine and treat the biliary tract, including the common bile duct, cystic duct, and pancreatic duct. It is used during procedures such as choledochoscopy to visualize internal structures, detect abnormalities, and remove gallstones, with images transmitted in real time to a monitor via a CMOS sensor at the tip.
As a single-use device, it is intended for one patient procedure and then discarded, eliminating the need for reprocessing and reducing cross-contamination risk. These devices are regulated as medical devices and must meet applicable safety and performance requirements before being made available for clinical use, though regulatory classification varies by jurisdiction and is not specified in the category definition.
