Intended Use
The VSI Flexible, Fiberoptic Bronchoscope with EndoSheath® System is used for flexible endoscopic examination of the trachea and other major passages of the lungs, to gather specimens, and/or to find and endoscopically remove foreign objects from the lungs. The EndoSheath® provides a sterile protective covering for the bronchoscope.
Device Description
The device system described in this 510(k) consists of a modified sterile, disposable sheath designed to fit the modified VSI flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope. The use of an EndoSheath® eliminates the need for high-level disinfection of the scope following each procedure. The sheath and scope have been modified to accommodate the "slide-on" sheath installation technique.

No
The summary describes a bronchoscope and a disposable sheath, focusing on mechanical and barrier properties. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of images or data.

No.
The device is used for examination, specimen gathering, and foreign object removal, which are diagnostic and interventional procedures, not therapeutic applications.

Yes
The device is used to "examine" the trachea and lungs, "gather specimens," and "find" foreign objects, all of which are activities associated with diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a modified bronchoscope (hardware) and a disposable sheath (hardware), indicating it is a hardware-based medical device system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for direct examination of the body (in vivo), specifically the trachea and lungs. It's used for visualization, specimen gathering from the body, and foreign object removal from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on a bronchoscope and a protective sheath used during the endoscopic procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro) to diagnose a condition. IVDs typically involve analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., in a laboratory setting.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed directly on a patient, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 874.4680 Bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the bronchoscope and is intended to examine or treat the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the rigid ventilating bronchoscope, rigid nonventilating bronchoscope, nonrigid bronchoscope, laryngeal-bronchial telescope, flexible foreign body claw, bronchoscope tubing, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, flexible biopsy curette, and rigid bronchoscope aspirating tube, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)
Classification. Class II.
