More Information

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical and do not mention any computational or analytical capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis.

No
The device is described as being used for tissue extraction during laparoscopic procedures, which is a diagnostic or surgical aid rather than a device for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device description and intended use indicate it is for tissue extraction during surgical procedures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components: a polyurethane bag, a Nitinol wire, a polyethylene pusher, and a polyethylene sheath. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Rusch Memory Bag is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "tissue extraction during laparoscopic procedures." This describes a surgical tool used in vivo (within the body) to remove tissue.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical bag, wire, pusher, and sheath designed for surgical use. There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any components typically associated with testing biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the key characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples after removal, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or analytical methods

In summary, the Rusch Memory Bag is a surgical device used for tissue removal during procedures, not a device used to perform tests on biological samples outside the body for diagnostic purposes.

§ 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.
