Intended Use
The asap arthroscope is indicated for illumination during joint examinations, arthroscopies, biopsies and diagnosis of joint disease in minimally invasive procedures of the knee, shoulder, wrlst (carpal tunnel syndrome), temporal-mandibular joint, ankle and elbow. The asap arthroscope is reusable and has to be sterilized prior to each procedure by the user. The intended use for the asap arthroscope is according to relevant medical indication by trained physicians only.
Device Description
The asap arthroscope is a rigid type endoscope with a new generation of compact objectives and a newly developed rod-lens system. The basic design of the asap arthroscope is similar to those legally available for sale in the U.S.A.. It consists of an eyepiece and the body with light quide and rod-lens system. The body is designed of an outer and an inner tube of surgical steel. The light carrying fibers are sandwiched between these tubes. The inner tube of the body contains the rod-lens system.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a rigid arthroscope with a traditional optical system (rod-lens system) and light guide. There is no mention of any software, image processing, AI, or ML capabilities. The device description focuses on the physical components and design, comparing it to legally available devices with similar basic designs.

No.
The device is used for illumination during joint examinations, arthroscopies, biopsies, and diagnosis of joint disease, which are diagnostic or procedural assistance, not direct treatment.

Yes

The Intended Use / Indications for Use section explicitly states that the asap arthroscope is indicated for "diagnosis of joint disease".

No

The device description clearly states it is a rigid type endoscope made of surgical steel with physical components like an eyepiece, body, light guide, and rod-lens system, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The asap arthroscope is a medical device used for direct visualization inside joints during surgical procedures. It illuminates the joint and allows the physician to see the internal structures.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "illumination during joint examinations, arthroscopies, biopsies and diagnosis of joint disease in minimally invasive procedures." This involves direct observation and potentially taking tissue samples during a procedure, not analyzing samples outside the body.

The device is an arthroscope, which is a type of endoscope used for minimally invasive joint surgery and examination. This falls under the category of surgical instruments and visualization devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Like the predicate device, the asap arthroscope is indicated for illumination during joint examinations, arthroscopies, biopsies and diagnosis of joint disease in minimally invasive procedures of the knee, shoulder, wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome), temporal mandibular joint, ankle and elbow.

The asap arthroscope is reusable.

The intended use for the asap arthroscope is -- as prescribed in the manufacturers Instructions For Use -- according to relevant medical indication by trained physicians only.

invasive procedures of the knee, shoulder, wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome), temporal mandibular joint, ankle and elbow.

The asap arthroscope is reusable.

The intended use for the asap arthroscope is -- as prescribed in the manufacturers Instructions For Use -- according to relevant medical indication by trained physicians only.

Voluntary standard compliance

The asap arthroscope complies with

  • applicable portions of voluntary standards IEC 60601-2-18
  • DIN 58105, part 1 and 2

  • DIN 980

Substantially equivalence - Safety and effectiveness

The specifications and intended use of the asap arthroscope are the same to those of the claimed predicate devices. There are no significant differences between the asap arthroscope and the claimed predicates in design or conditions of intended use.

The asap arthroscope is constructed of materials of the same specifications as the predicate devices to ensure biocompatibility. The asap arthroscope conforms to applicable ISO standards.

The device will be sold non-sterile, to be sterilized prior to each procedure by the user. The ability to repeatedly adequately sterilize the devices has been confirmed by validation protocol.

Conclusion

In all respects, the asap arthroscope is substantially equivalent to one or more rigid endoscopes currently marketed in the USA. It is constructed of materials of the same specifications as the predicate devices to ensure biocompatibility and it conforms to applicable ISO standards.

The ability to repeatedly adequately sterilize the asap arthroscope has been confirmed by validation protocol.

Dear Dr. Günderoth:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
