This device is indicated for use as an "adjunct to conventional oral mucosal screening...for the identification, evaluation, and monitoring of oral mucosal abnormalities in a population at increased risk for oral cancer." This directly aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device, which is used to identify or evaluate medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components including a chemiluminescent light source system (Vizilite/OralLite) and a three-component swab system with chemical solutions (ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System). These are hardware and chemical components, not software.
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 ViziLite Blue Oral Exam Product is a visualization system used in vivo (within the living body) to help healthcare providers identify and evaluate oral mucosal abnormalities. It uses light and a dye applied directly to the oral cavity.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze a sample taken from the patient's body. It is used to enhance the visual examination of the oral mucosa directly.
Therefore, while it is a diagnostic tool used in a clinical setting, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ViziLite Blue Oral Exam Product consists of the Vizilite and ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System.
The Vizilite (OralLite) is a chemiluminescent light source system indicated for use as an adjunct to conventional oral mucosal screening by trained health care providers for the identification, evaluation, and monitoring of oral mucosal abnormalities in a population at increased risk for oral cancer.
The ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking-System, is a threecomponent swab system which is indicated as an adjunct to the ViziLite Test for oral mucosa lesions, for further evaluation and monitoring of lesions by providing physical marking of lesions already differentially identified with Vizil ite in a population at increased risk for oral cancer
The ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System is not being proposed for use in the initial oral mucosal examination without initial lesion identification with ViziLite. Furthermore, this ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System is not intended to be used as an indicator of lesions warranting further study, including biopsy. Whether a lesion is marked with the dye or not should not alter the clinician's clinical behavior as dictated by the results of the ViziLite examination. The marking dye, when positive, acts as a lesion marker that allows for the removal of the ViziLite device while preserving the anatomic character of the lesion.

Device Description
ViziLite Blue Oral Exam Kit includes the ViziLite used as an adjunct to visual examination of the oral mucosa with incandescent light for identification of oral mucosal abnormalities and ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System to further assist with the evaluation and monitoring of ViziLiteldentified oral white mucosal abnormalities in patients at increased risk for oral cancer.
The ViziLite-Blue™ Oral Exam Kit is a visualization system that is intended as an adjunct to conventional visual examination with incandescent light of oral mucosa and employs the same components and mechanism of action as the previously cleared ViziLite Test Kit (a.k.a. ViziLite Comprehensive Exam Tray K012070 and the OralLite Test Kit, K03995 and Acetic Acid Rinse) and is indicated for the same patient population and intended use. The ViziLite examination light source and accessories, including the 1% Acetic Acid Rinse, have not been changed nor significantly modified for production of the ViziLite-Blue Oral Exam Kit.
The ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System, consists of three swab components, two swabs of 1% Acetic Acid Rinse, including a postdye decolorizer, and one swab with a metachromatic vital tissue dye, Tolonium chloride, also called Toluidine Blue. The application of the dye to ViziLite-Identified oral white mucosal lesions in a population at increased risk for oral cancer, during clinical trials was able to assist with evaluation, monitoring, and tissue sampling and helped physically mark and stain 51% of the ViziLite-Identified white lesions to allow the health care provider to visualize lesions with incandescent light.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical Trials:
In IRB monitored clinical trials conducted at three University Hospital sites involving 86 adult patients with a history of leukoplakia and 92 biopsied lesions. the data continued to demonstrate that the ViziLite device made it easier for the examiner to see mucosal changes of leukoplakia and erythroleukoplakia when compared with projected incandescent light (as was demonstrated in K 003995). Thus, it appears that the ViziLite is a useful adjunct to help direct the examiner to lesions that would be difficult or poorly seen with incandescent light alone, but is non-specific with regard to underlying pathology.
The addition of the ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System using Tolonium Chloride dye retention by ViziLite-Identified acetowhite lesions provided additional information to the practitioner when examining patients at high risk for oral malignancy, particularly in patients with a prior history of squamous cell cancer or dysplasia. When the Tolonium Chloride dye marked the acetowhite lesions, the health care provider was able to remove the ViziLite device from the patient's mouth and see the lesion with incandescent illumination. This was true whether the uptake of the stain had been diffuse (the entire lesion stains with the marker-dye) or the lesion had an irregular or stippled uptake. The provider has the ability to choose to study these lesions with the aid of loupes, to further determine lesion characteristics, or use the now freed up hand to perform a biopsy.
The usefulness of this adjunctive approach to lesions seen with the ViziLite device is in the assisting the practitioner in his/her decision to immediately biopsy (or refer for biopsy) an acetowhite lesion seen with ViziLite or deferring a definitive biopsy in favor of following the lesion using standard clinical observation techniques.

INDICATIONS FOR VIZILITE BLUE ORAL EXAM KIT:
The ViziLite Blue Oral Exam Kit consists of the Vizilite and ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System.
The Vizilite (OralLite) is a chemiluminescent light source system indicated for use as an adjunct to conventional oral mucosal screening by trained health care providers for the identification, evaluation, and monitoring of oral mucosal abnormalities in a population at increased risk for oral cancer.
The ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System, is a threecomponent swab system which is indicated as an adjunct to the ViziLite Test for oral mucosa lesions, for further evaluation and monitoring of ViziLite-Identified white lesions in a population at increased risk for oral cancer.
The ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System is not indicated to be used as an initial screening examination for identification and evaluation of oral mucosa abnormalities, nor is it intended to replace initial conventional screening under incandescent light and any of the clinician's best clinical judgment as to patient management. In addition, the marking system is not intended to be used as an indicator or lesions warranting further study, including biopsy.

The marking dye, when positive, acts as a lesion marker that allows for the removal of the ViziLite device while preserving the anatomic character of the lesion.
ViziLite Blue Oral Exam PROCEDURE:
The ViziLite examination consists of visualization of leukoplakic areas using a diffuse chemiluminescent light source. Following conventional oral examination with incandescent light, there is a pre-exam rinse with ViziLite Rinse, activation of the ViziLite, with placement in the ViziLite Retractor, dimming of the ambient light and re-examination with ViziLite. Under ViziLite, atypical or dysplastic mucosal
5
abnormalities will appear bright white, distinctly demarcated, sharply marginated areas that contrast the surrounding non involved epithelium. Any lesion identified with ViziLite is further evaluated using the adjunctive ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System (pre and post acetic acid swabs and Tolonium Chloride stain swab).
PRINCIPLE OF ACTION:
ViziLite (OralLite):
Traditionally, following application of a cytoplasmic dehydration agent such as an acetic acid solution, acetowhite or leukoplakic lesions are seen with changes in refractile properties that occur in atypical nonkeratinized squamous epithelium due to an increased nuclear cytoplasmic ratio.
Adding diffuse chemiluminescent light (ViziLite (OralLite)/Speculite) to a conventional projected incandescent light exam has been clinically shown to increase the detection of biopsy proven squamous cell dysplasia and malignancy in squomous epithelium in the lower female genital tract when compared with detection by the naked eye and detection with magnified visualization with incandescent light.
This device has preiously been cleared for use as an adjunct to a conventional examination. (K 03995, K 012070)
ADVERSE EVENTS:
None Known.
CLINICAL STUDIES:
In IRB monitored clinical trials conducted at three University Hospital sites involving 86 adult patients with a history of leukoplakia and 92 biopsied lesions. the data continued to demonstrate that the ViziLite device made it easier for the examiner to see mucosal changes of leukoplakia and erythroleukoplakia when compared with projected incandescent light (as was demonstrated in K 003995). Thus, it appears that the ViziLite is a useful adjunct to help direct the examiner to lesions that would be difficult or poorly seen with incandescent light alone, but is non-specific with regard to underlying pathology.
The addition of the ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System using Tolonium Chloride dye retention by ViziLite-Identified acetowhite lesions provided additional information to the practitioner when examining patients at high risk for oral malignancy, particularly in patients with a prior history of squamous cell cancer or dysplasia. When the Tolonium Chloride dve marked the acetowhite lesions, the health care provider was able to remove the ViziLite
6
device from the patient's mouth and see the lesion with incandescent illumination. This was true whether the uptake of the stain had been diffuse (the entire lesion stains with the marker-dve) or the lesion had an irreqular or stippled uptake. The provider has the ability to choose to study these lesions with the aid of loupes, to futher determine lesion characteristics, or use the now freed up hand to perform a biopsy.
The usefulness of this adjunctive approach to lesions seen with the ViziLite device is in the assisting the practitioner in his/her decision to immediately bipsy (or refer for biopsy) an acetowhite lesion seen with ViziLite or deferring a definitive biopsy in favor of following the lesion using standard clinical observation techniques.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:

following directions during the lesion staining procedure (e.g. patients with severe physical or mental disabilities).
WARNING/PRECAUTIONS - ViziLite
To prevent swallowing or choking:
The health care provider should ensure that the activated ViziLite is firmly inserted into the provided ViziLite (OralLite) Retractor before placing it into the patient's mouth.
The health care provider should hold firmly onto the ViziLite Retractor while it is placed inside the patient's mouth.
To prevent potential leakage of ViziLite chemicals into the mouth:
Insect the ViziLite (OralLite) for any evidence of chemical leakage prior to capsule activation. Discard any capsule that does not appear to be intact.
Inspect the activated ViziLite (OralLite) for potential leakage before placing it into the patient's mouth for ViziLite (OralLite).
Do not use a capsule for ViziLite (OralLite) if the capsule does not appear to be intact or functioning properly.
[Note: The chemiluminescent chemicals and the materials used in the manufacturer of the ViziLite (OralLite) have been shown to be non-toxic in animal studies should they be either swallowed or applied to the epithelial surface. Therefore, the ViziLite (OralLite) should not present a significant risk to humans when used as a light source for oral examination under usual conditions. However, oral exposure to the contents of the ViziLite (OralLite) may cause transient irritation to the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract. I
[Remedy for accidental exposure to chemicals: Rinse mouth immediately and dilute with 4 to 8 ounces of milk or water. Decontamination with syrup of ipecac, activated charcoal or gastric lavage is not indicated.1
After 10 minutes the chemiluminescent light begins to fade and the ability to visualize white lesions will also decrease. Therefore, perform the examination of oral tissues within 10 minutes of ViziLite (OralLite) activation.
ViziLite (OralLite) is to be used as an adjunct to conventional oral examination. ViziLite (OralLite) is not intended to be used for grading acetowhite lesions.
All activated and/or used ViziLite's (OralLite) must be discarded in a proper receptacle per the procedures of the facility.
ViziLite (OralLite) is intended as a disposal, single use patient device.

Patients should be informed prior to the ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking procedure that there may be a residual bluish discoloration on the vermillion border, dorsum of the tongue, and dental plaque, which usually wears off in 4-6 hours. Staining in these areas with Tolonium chloride is normal and should not be considered a positive result in the absence of clinical suspicion.
Care should be taken to protect clothing, as well as equipment and environmental surfaces from being stained. The patient should be advised of the possibility of this effect, and assured that the color change is temporary. The patient may also be instructed to contact his/her examining physician/dentist if this occurs.
Should any of the material be accidentally swallowed, the urine and and/or stools may be colored temporarily blue-green or blue, respectively. The patient should be advised of the possibility of this effect, and assured that the color change is temporary. The patient may also be instructed to contact his/her examining physician/dentist if this occurs.
Common restorative materials including porcelain, composites, and acrylics are not known to stain permanently.

INTERACTIONS
Interactions of the ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion and Identification Marking System components with other medications have not been studied, but are unlikely.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
The ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System is contraindicated for use for pregnant women. There have been no well-controlled studies in pregnant women to know the safety of use in this population.
The ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System is contraindicated for lactating women. It is not known whether Tolonium chloride is excreted in human breast milk.
OVERDOSAGE
No adverse events have been reported in the published literature concerning the use of Tolonium chloride in the mouth for staining oral lesions. The ViziLite Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System contains a Tolonium chloride dye swab with 7mg of tolonium chloride, which conservatively yields an exposure of approximately 0.1mg/kg (based on a 60kg person). Reports from published studies indicate physiological alterations are not observed at dose levels below 5 ma/kq administered intravenously. Some patients receiving 100 mg commercially available tolonium chloride orally in capsule from three times daily reported nausea. The NOAEL (No-Observable-Adverse-Effect Level) determined in toxicology studies or orally administered tolonium chloride was 20 mg/kg in rats and was 15mg/kq in rabbits. Data regarding Tolonium chloride and toluidine blue toxicity are summarized in Appendix A. Additional toxicology data for this product, beyond the data furnished in the Appendix, are available upon request.
Recommended Storage Conditions
Store between 15°C and 25°C (59°F - 77°F)
ViziLite (OralLite), when used in combination with conventional visual oral mucosal examination by health care providers, improved identification, evaluation, and monitoring of oral mucosal abnormalities in a population at increased risk for oral cancer.
The ViziLite-Blue Oral Lesion Identification and Marking System (with Tolonium chloride) can allow the examiner to continue to visualize oral mucosal lesions using incandescent (conventional projected)light, even after the ViziLite (OralLite) and its holder are removed from the oral cavity. This allows the examiner to measure the lesion size, observe the lesions borders, and obtain an appropriate tissue sample (biopsy) when clinically indicated.
