No
The summary describes a standard endoscope adapted for use in an MR environment, with no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing beyond basic visualization.
Yes
The device is clearly indicated for therapeutic procedures such as "fenestration of cysts," "removal of cysts," and "coagulation of intraventricular lesions."
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "For examination, diagnosis and therapy in neurosurgery". This indicates the device is used in the process of diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "endoscope set" and mentions physical components like working, supply, and drain channels, as well as an obturator. It also discusses thermal heat rise verification, which is a hardware-related performance study.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is an "MR Endoscope" used for "visual observation of the operating site" and for "examination, diagnosis and therapy in neurosurgery during intracranial procedures." It is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing samples taken from the patient. Its function is direct visualization and manipulation within the body.
Therefore, the MR Endoscope by Tronnier is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MR Endoscope by Tronnier (Magnetic Resonance) allows visual observation of the operating site with simultaneous utilization of the working, supply and drain channels.
The Obturator is used for atraumatic insertion of the endoscope.
The MR Endoscope is specially designed for use in open nuclear magnetic resonance tomographs for examination, diagnosis and therapy in neurosurgery in conjunction with endoscopic accessories during intracranial procedures, such as: the fenestration of cysts, the removal of cysts, biopsies of lesions, coagulation of intraventricular lesions, etc.
