Magnetically Maneuvered Capsule Endoscopy System

What Is This Device?

A magnetically maneuvered capsule endoscopy system consists of an ingestible capsule and magnetic controller and is used for visualization of the stomach and duodenum. The ingestible capsule contains a camera that wirelessly captures images of the mucosa. The magnetic controller is used outside of the patient and is magnetically coupled with the capsule to control its location and viewing direction.

Magnetically Maneuvered Capsule Endoscopy System is FDA product code QKZ, Class 2, 21 CFR 876.1310.

How Does It Reach the US Market?

A 510(k) premarket notification is required before it is sold in the United States: the applicant shows the device is substantially equivalent to one already on the market. No clearance under this code names a Chinese applicant. A registration is not a clearance: the plants above are set up to make it, and the 510(k) it is sold under is held by whoever files it, often the brand.
