The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "used for diagnosis and therapy in neurosurgery" and allows for "examination and diagnosis of microsurgical brain operation."
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as sheaths, obturators, endoscopes, forceps, electrodes, and an articulated arm.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a "Neuro-Endoscope System" used for "visual observation of the operating site" and for "diagnosis and therapy in neurosurgery" during "intracranial procedures." It allows for visualization of cerebral structures and offers options for fluid management during surgery.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any specimens taken from the body. Its function is direct visualization and manipulation within the body.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a surgical endoscope system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Minature Neuro-Endoscope System by Hopf allows visual observation of the operating site while using working channels, supply and drain channels. They are used for diagnosis and therapy in neurosurgery, in connection with endoscopic accessories, during intracranial procedures.
The EANS System (Endoscopic Assisted Neuro Surgery) allows a visualization of cerebral structures not visible through the microscope and at the same time offers the option of supplying and draining irrigation fluid, for examination and diagnosis of microsurgical brain operation.

1.0 Description
The submitted neuroendoscope sets are adaptable and therefore suitable for a variety of surgical manipulations. The set consists of sheaths with working channels respectively working inserts, obturators, endoscopes, forceps, electrodes and an articulated arm.
2.0 Intended Use
The Miniature Neuro-Endoscope System by Hopf allows visual observation of the operating site while using working channels, supply and drain channels. They are used for diagnosis and therapy in neurosurgery, in connection with endoscopic accessories, during intracranial procedures.

Technological Characteristics 3.0
The new sets are used with an articulated arm instead of the stereotactic frame, so that they become shorter. The smaller outer diameter and the convenient working length make the endoscope system especially valuable for intraventricular endoscopic procedures in newborn and children, as well as in adults if anatomical situation allows it.
Substantial Equivalence 4.0
The submitted devices pose the same type of questions about safety or effectiveness as the compared devices and the new technological characteristics have not diminished safety or effectiveness. The submitted devices are substantially equivalent to existing 510(k)-devices sold by Richard Wolf and competitors.
5.0 Performance Data
The neuroscopy sets are conforming to the international standards IEC 601-1, IEC 601-2-2, and IEC 601-2-18.
To avoid accumulation of heat due to high light energy, only halogen light sources of up to 250 W or other light sources, such as gas discharge lamps, Xenon, of up to max. 180 W must be used, fluid light cables are not allowed to be used.
6.0 Clinical Tests
No clinical tests performed.
7.0 Conclusions Drawn
These devices are designed and tested to guarantee the safety and effectiveness, when used according to the instructions manual.
