Product description

DSD Application Guide (MG04-0001 revision M) for the Pentax Universal Video Scope Hookup (DSD-110-HU0109) only when used with the DSD automated endoscope reprocessor (AER) and the Pentax EG-3630U endoscope.

Code information (models, lots, serial numbers)

Other devices under the same FDA submission
