Intended Use
The Deflecting Ureteral Access Sheath is indicated for use in endoscopic urology procedures, facilitates the passage of endoscopes and other instruments through the urinary tract. The dilator may also be used to irrigate and aspirate fluids into the urinary tract and kidney.
Device Description
The Deflecting Ureteral Access Sheath consists of a tapered dilator and a sheath, which are both coated with a hydrophilic coating, which is activated when wet. The tip of the sheath is designed such that it may be deflected in order to position the tip of the sheath to a desired site within the kidney to allow better access to surgical site. The deflecting feature also aids in positioning/maneuvering instruments such as endoscopes positioned inside the sheath. The Deflecting Ureteral Access Sheath consists of two components, the sheath and the dilator, The sheath consists of an elongated body attached to a lever and handle assembly. Activation of the handle/lever mechanism results in desired deflection of the sheath. The dilator is assembled into the sheath during placement. The tapered tip of the dilator is designed for easy placement. The Deflecting Ureteral Access Sheath can be placed over a guidewire or by itself, The female luer fitting on the dilator is securely attached to the sheath handle during placement. Devices such as syringes and suction and irrigation equipment with luer port connectors may be attached to the dilator when irrigation and/or aspiration of the surgical site is desired. The dilator may also be used by itself in similar procedures. The Deflecting Ureteral Access Sheaths will be made available as disposable, single use, sterile devices in two sizes (35cm and 60 cm).

The device facilitates access for other instruments but does not itself provide a therapeutic effect.

No.
The device description and intended use focus on facilitating the passage of endoscopes and instruments, and irrigating/aspirating fluids, which are procedural functions rather than diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or analyze medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly details physical components (sheath, dilator, handle/lever assembly) and their mechanical functions (deflection, irrigation/aspiration), indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for facilitating the passage of instruments through the urinary tract during endoscopic urology procedures and for irrigation/aspiration. This is a surgical/interventional use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical tool (sheath and dilator) used to access and manipulate within the body. It does not involve the examination of specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device is a surgical access tool.

§ 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.
