Intended Use
The SOCRATES System is indicated for use in general cardiothoracoscopy, general cardiothoracic surgery, general laparoscopy, nasopharyngoscopy, ear endoscopy, and sinuscopy, and sinuscopy where a general laparoscope/endoscope is indicated for use. A few example indications are laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic hernia repair, laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection, laparoscopically assisted hysterectomy, laparoscopic & thorascopic anterior spinal fusion, decompression fixation, wedge resection, lung biopsy, pleural biopsy, dorsal sympathectomy, pleurodesis, internal mammary artery dissection for coronary artery bypass grafting where endoscopic visualization is indicated and examination of the evacuated cardiac chamber during performance of valve replacement. Use of the SOCRATES System enables a remote surgeon to telecommunicate with any AESOP™ Robotic System and assist the local surgeon with field-of-view positioning.

No
The summary describes a telemonitoring system for robotic surgery, focusing on remote control and communication, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The SOCRATES System is indicated for use in surgical procedures to enable a remote surgeon to telecommunicate with a robotic system and assist with field-of-view positioning. It is a tool for surgical assistance and visualization, not a device directly applying a therapeutic effect to a patient.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section focuses on surgical procedures and visualization for those procedures, rather than on the diagnosis of conditions. It describes the system as enabling a "remote surgeon to telecommunicate with any AESOP™ Robotic System and assist the local surgeon with field-of-view positioning," which is a surgical assistance function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The description explicitly states the device enables a remote surgeon to telecommunicate with an AESOP™ Robotic System and assist with field-of-view positioning. This implies interaction with and control of a physical robotic system, which is hardware. The predicate device also includes "Robotic" in its name, further suggesting a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the SOCRATES System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the system's function in surgical procedures for visualization and remote assistance. It focuses on in vivo (within a living organism) procedures, not in vitro (outside of a living organism) testing of biological samples.
  • Device Description (though not found): The description of its function (telecommunicating with a robotic system for field-of-view positioning) aligns with surgical assistance, not diagnostic testing of samples.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Endoscopic visualization is a method for viewing structures inside the body during a procedure.
  • Anatomical Site: The listed anatomical sites are all locations within the human body where surgical procedures are performed.
  • Intended User: The intended users are surgeons and other medical specialists who perform surgical procedures.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The SOCRATES System's function is entirely focused on assisting with surgical procedures performed directly on the patient.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
