Intended Use
The OPserver LAP is an integral combination unit comprised of the following legally marketed Karl Storz equipment intended for use in laparoscopic surgeries: XENON 300, Video Camera, THERMOFLATOR®, UNIDRIVE® II, AUTOCON® II 400, LAPAROMAT®, and QUADRO SWITCH. The XENON 300 is a 300 watt short arc Xenon lamp light source designed to supply light for endoscopic diagnostic and surgical procedures. The Video Camera is a camera system designed for use in laparoscopic surgeries. The TRICAM®/TELECAM® camera head is suitable for attachment to any rigid or flexible endoscope. The THERMOFLATOR® is a gas insufflator designed for laparoscopic surgical and diagnostic procedures. The device is designed to carefully deliver large flow rates for rapid insufflation, and to monitor the amounts of CO2 gas needed to establish and maintain proper distention of the peritoneal cavity. The UNIDRIVE® II is the control unit that operates the motorized handles during endoscopic surgical procedures. The AUTOCON® II 400 is an electrosurgical generator that is intended for use by qualified surgeons to provide a high frequency (HF) electrical current for cutting and coagulating tissue during endoscopic surgeries. The LAPAROMAT® is a high-capacity suction/irrigation device for use by qualified surgeons to infuse and aspirate sterile irrigation solutions into the peritoneal cavity to rinse or remove carbon deposits, blood clots, or excised tissue during laparoscopic and pelviscopic surgical procedures. The QUADRO SWITCH, in conjunction with its associated handpiece or footswitch, functions as a suction/irrigation control switch device that controls the rinsing and removal of carbon deposits, blood clots, or excised tissue from operative sites during surgical procedures.
Device Description
The OPserver LAP is comprised of XENON 300, Video Camera, THERMOFLATOR®, UNIDRIVE® II, AUTOCON® II 400, LAPAROMAT®, and QUADRO SWITCH. It is controlled via the Karl Storz SCB either by touch screen or by voice activation.

No
The description lists a combination of existing, legally marketed surgical devices and a control unit. There is no mention of any features or functionalities that would suggest the use of AI or ML, such as image analysis, predictive capabilities, or adaptive control algorithms. The control is described as touch screen or voice activation, which are standard user interfaces and do not inherently imply AI/ML.

Yes
The device is comprised of several components, many of which directly interact with the body or deliver therapeutic interventions (e.g., electrosurgical generator for cutting/coagulating tissue, gas insufflator for maintaining distention, suction/irrigation device for removing tissue).

Yes

The XENON 300 component of the OPserver LAP is explicitly stated to be "designed to supply light for endoscopic diagnostic and surgical procedures," and the THERMOFLATOR® is "designed for laparoscopic surgical and diagnostic procedures."

No

The device description explicitly states the OPserver LAP is comprised of multiple hardware components (XENON 300, Video Camera, THERMOFLATOR®, UNIDRIVE® II, AUTOCON® II 400, LAPAROMAT®, and QUADRO SWITCH). While it is controlled by software (Karl Storz SCB), it is an integral combination unit of hardware devices.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used during laparoscopic surgical procedures for tasks like providing light, capturing video, insufflating gas, controlling motorized instruments, electrosurgery, and suction/irrigation. These are all actions performed on the patient's body or within the surgical field.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of disease.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description of the OPserver LAP and its components does not mention any analysis of biological specimens. Its function is to facilitate and perform actions within the surgical environment.

Therefore, the OPserver LAP is a surgical device used in vivo (within the living body), not an in vitro diagnostic device.
