Intended Use
The Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope is indicated for use during minimally invasive urological procedures accessed through natural body orifices and is intended for, but not limited to transurethral examination of the upper urinary tract including the ureter, and kidney and, utilizing additional accessories for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Device Description
The Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope is a newly marketed product for Stryker Endoscopy and is based upon technology used in endoscope production and clinical applications for over 30 years. All applicable materials are tested and validated for biocompatibility according to the voluntary standard ISO 10993 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices". The cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization methods will be equivalent to those for which the Karl Storz Uretero-Fiberscope is currently validated. The Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope will be electrically isolated from the patient and the physician, will meet safety standards for leakage current, will not present a thermal hazard to the physician, and will meet all applicable safety standards established by EN 60601-2-18: Particular Requirements for the Safety of Endoscopic Equipment.
More Information

No
The document describes a standard flexible ureteroscope and explicitly states that AI, DNN, or ML were not found in the description.

No
The device is described as an endoscope for examination and diagnostic procedures, not primarily for treatment. While it can be used for "various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures" with additional accessories, its core function as described is visualization of the upper urinary tract.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is intended for "transurethral examination of the upper urinary tract including the ureter, and kidney" and "utilizing additional accessories for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures." The word "examination" and "diagnostic procedures" clearly indicate a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Flexible Ureteroscope," which is a physical medical device used for procedures, not a software-only application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for direct visualization and intervention within the body (transurethral examination of the upper urinary tract). IVD devices, on the other hand, are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics, materials, safety standards, and sterilization methods of an endoscopic instrument used for internal examination. This aligns with a surgical or diagnostic instrument used in vivo, not a device for analyzing samples in vitro.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any processes typically associated with laboratory testing of specimens.

Therefore, the Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope is a medical device used for internal examination and procedures, not an IVD device.

§ 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.

510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Device Name

Classification Name:Endoscopes and Accessories
Common and Usual Name:Endoscope, Ureteroscope
Proprietary Name:Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope

This 510(k) summary and effectiveness is being submitted in accordance with requirements of SMDA 1990.

The Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope is substantially equivalent in safety and efficacy to the currently marketed Karl Storz Uretero Fiberscope (KSEA11273) as cleared under 510(k) #K970427.

The Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope is a newly marketed product for Stryker Endoscopy and is based upon technology used in endoscope production and clinical applications for over 30 years. All applicable materials are tested and validated for biocompatibility according to the voluntary standard ISO 10993 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices". The cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization methods will be equivalent to those for which the Karl Storz Uretero-Fiberscope is currently validated. The Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope will be electrically isolated from the patient and the physician, will meet safety standards for leakage current, will not present a thermal hazard to the physician, and will meet all applicable safety standards established by EN 60601-2-18: Particular Requirements for the Safety of Endoscopic Equipment.

The Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope will conform to the following voluntary standards: EN 550 Ethylene Oxide Sterilization; ISO 10993: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices.

There are no significant technological differences between the Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope and the predicate Karl Storz Uretero-Fiberscope. Clinical data and laboratory testing demonstrate that the differences do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness of the proposed device. Therefore, the Stryker Flexible Ureteroscope is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Karl Storz Uretero-Fiberscope.
