Intended use

The ProVu Single Use Video Stylet with Reinforced ET Tube is a sterile, single-use intubation system combining a video-enabled stylet with an endotracheal tube in four sizes (6.5–8.0 mm ID). It is intended as a temporary artificial airway for adults requiring mechanical ventilation via oral or nasal intubation, and provides real-time video visualization during both routine and difficult intubation procedures to verify proper tube placement.

Technological characteristics

The device features a colored real-time video camera with Motion JPEG format output displayed via cable connection to an 8-inch monitor, compared to the predicate's Composite Video Baseband Signal and 7-inch monitor. The ProVu offers four tube sizes (ID 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0 mm) versus the predicate's three sizes, and has a shorter shelf life (0.5 year vs. 3 years). Both use PVC and polypropylene materials, high-volume low-pressure cuffs, EtO sterilization, and are packaged in similar formats; the bevel design is similar with the camera positioned centrally within the lumen.

Test standards cited

ISO 5356-1 (conical connectors), ISO 5361 (tracheal tubes), ISO 14971 (risk management), ISO 11135 (sterilization validation), IEC 60601-1 (electrical safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60601-2-18 (medical device safety standard), ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility), and ISO 18562 series (breathing gas pathway biocompatibility and emissions testing).

Substantial equivalence argument

The ProVu is substantially equivalent because it shares the same indications for use, regulatory classification (Class II, BTR/BSR product codes), basic structure as a standard ETT with integrated video camera, and fundamental materials as the VIVASIGHT-SL predicate. Both devices provide real-time video for intubation guidance in adult hospital settings with identical cuff design, sterilization method, and duration of use. Although the ProVu adds a smaller 6.5 mm size option and uses MJPEG instead of composite video, these are design refinements that do not alter the device's fundamental intended function or safety profile; all performance and biocompatibility testing demonstrates equivalence to the predicate.
