## Indications for use
KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System The KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System is intended to provide real-time visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging. Endoscopic ICG System Upon intravenous administration and use of ICG consistent with its approved label, the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG System enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery using standard endoscopic visible light as well as visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion in adults and pediatric patients ≥1 month of age, and at least one of the major extrahepatic bile ducts (cystic duct, common bile duct and common hepatic duct) in adults and pediatric patients ≥ 12 years of age, using near infrared imaging in accordance with the appropriately indicated endoscope. Fluorescence imaging of biliary ducts with the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG System is intended for use with standard of care white light and, when indicated, intraoperative cholangiography. The device is not intended for standalone use for biliary duct visualization. Additionally, the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG System enables surgeon to perform minimally invasive cranial neurosurgery in adults and pediatrics and endonasal skull base surgery in adults and pediatrics > 6 years of age using standard endoscopic visible light as well as visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion using near infrared imaging. Upon interstitial administration and use of ICG consistent with its approved label, the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG System is used to perform intraoperative fluorescence imaging and visualization of the lymphatic system, including lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes. VITOM II ICG System The KARL STORZ VITOM II ICG System is intended for capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow, as an adjunctive method for the evaluation of tissue perfusion, and related tissue-transfer circulation in tissue and free flaps used in plastic, micro- and reconstructive surgical procedures. The VITOM II ICG System is intended to provide a magnified view of the surgical field in standard white light. KARL STORZ Image1 S CCU The Image1 S camera control unit (CCU) in combination with either a compatible camera head or an appropriately indicated video endoscope is intended for real-time visualization, image recording and documentation during general endoscopic and microscopic procedures in adults and pediatrics.
