Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The 1.2mm Reusable NeuroView Endoscope is a rigid, reusable neurological endoscope designed for minimally invasive visualization of internal structures within the nervous system. It falls under the classification of an endoscope, neurological and is intended for procedures requiring high-resolution imaging of confined or delicate anatomical areas, such as neurosurgery or interventional neuroradiology.
This device is supplied as a reusable instrument, requiring cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization between uses in accordance with established medical device reprocessing protocols. It is classified as Class II under FDA regulation 21 CFR 882.1480 and was granted FDA 510(k) clearance (K961173) as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. The endoscope is intended for use in controlled clinical settings, such as operating rooms or neurointervention labs, and must comply with manufacturer instructions for proper handling, storage, and maintenance.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
Is this endoscope designed for single-use or reusable applications, and what does that mean for my facility’s workflow?
This device is explicitly designed for reusable applications, meaning it must be cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized between uses according to established medical device reprocessing protocols. Since it’s reusable, your facility will need to integrate it into your existing reprocessing workflows, including proper cleaning, sterilization (e.g., autoclave or chemical sterilization), and maintenance to ensure safety and functionality. The manufacturer provides instructions for handling and reprocessing, which must be followed strictly to maintain sterility and performance.
What is the diameter of the 1.2mm NeuroView Endoscope, and how might this affect its use in delicate neurosurgical procedures?
The device’s name includes 1.2mm, which refers to its outer diameter—a critical specification for minimally invasive neurosurgery. This slim profile allows for insertion into confined or delicate anatomical spaces, such as the brain or spinal cord, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues. Its rigid design also ensures stable imaging during procedures like biopsies, tumor resections, or vascular interventions where precision is essential.
Where is this endoscope manufactured, and how can I verify its regulatory compliance for use in my facility?
The manufacturer, Neuro Navigational Corp., is based in Costa Mesa, California (92626). This device holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K961173), meaning it has been deemed substantially equivalent to a predicate device under 21 CFR 882.1480 (Class II). To verify compliance, check the FDA’s OpenFDA database using the registration number (3006546082) or product code (GWG). Always ensure your facility adheres to the manufacturer’s instructions and local regulatory requirements for neurological endoscopes.
What types of procedures is this endoscope commonly used for, and what settings would be appropriate for its deployment?
The 1.2mm NeuroView Endoscope is designed for high-resolution visualization in minimally invasive neurosurgical or interventional neuroradiology procedures, such as biopsies, tumor resections, or vascular interventions. It is intended for use in controlled clinical settings, such as operating rooms or neurointervention labs, where sterile conditions and specialized equipment are available. Its rigid, reusable design makes it suitable for procedures requiring precise, repeated imaging without the limitations of disposable alternatives.
