Intended Use
The CardioVations Retractor has application for use in the creation and maintenance of an operative cavity in the extraperitoneal spaces such as the retroperitoneal, preperitoneal and subcutaneous areas. The device may be used in surgical procedures requiring dissection and retraction of tissue.
Device Description
The CardioVations Retractor is a single patient use device for dissection and retraction of soft tissue to maintain space while under endoscope visualization. For example, like the predicate device, the retractor will be used to dissect and retract tissue surrounding a vessel to allow for instrument passage beneath the shaft of the retractor in vessel harvesting procedures. The blunt, spoon (hood) distal tip functions to dissect and create a working cavity for instrument passage. The wide shaft provides for retraction and maintenance of the operative working space. The transparent tip allows visualization during insertion, tunneling and dissection. A vein retractor feature has been added. The device is compatible with the CardioVations Optical Bipolar Device (included in the vessel harvesting package tray).

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical retraction and dissection, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing.

No
The device is described as a retractor used for dissection and retraction of tissue to create and maintain an operative cavity during surgical procedures. Its function is to assist in surgery, not to directly treat a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device description states its application is for creating and maintaining an operative cavity for surgical procedures requiring dissection and retraction of tissue, indicating it is an surgical retration and disecction device, and not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, single-patient use retractor with a blunt tip, shaft, and transparent tip, indicating it is a hardware device.

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 surgical tool used for creating and maintaining operative cavities and dissecting/retracting tissue within the body. This is an in-vivo application.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical retractor used for surgical procedures, including dissection and retraction of soft tissue. This is a surgical instrument, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The CardioVations Retractor does not fit this description.

§ 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.
