Intended Use
The Acueity ViaDuct Miniscope and Accessories are intended for use by a physician for viewing an interior cavity of the human body through either a natural opening or an incision. The accessory device is capable of grasping soft tissue for biopsy. The instruments are to be used for diagnostic or graspilly son thisue not intended for therapeutic use.
Device Description
Like the predicate devices, the Acueity ViaDuct Miniscope and Accessories consist of a semi-rigid fiberscope with an irrigating outer sheath or introducer capable of passing a biopsy needle to a soft tissue site for view or, to view and assess/biopsy soft tissue. The Acueity ViaDuct Miniscope and Accessories is also designed with an inner grasping sheath or tube that can be placed within the outer introducer, which together act as forceps capable of grasping soft tissue for biopsy. The combination of these devices allows access to very finite spaces.

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on mechanical components and fiberscope technology, with no mention of image processing or data analysis that would typically involve AI/ML.

No.
The intended use explicitly states that the instruments are "not intended for therapeutic use."

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the instruments are to be used for "diagnostic" purposes.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components like a fiberscope, outer sheath, inner grasping sheath, and biopsy needle, indicating it is a hardware device with accessories, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "viewing an interior cavity of the human body through either a natural opening or an incision" and for "grasping soft tissue for biopsy." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a fiberscope, sheaths, and forceps for viewing and obtaining tissue in situ. This aligns with an endoscopic or biopsy procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue samples after removal), reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, the Acueity ViaDuct Miniscope and Accessories are considered a medical device used for diagnostic procedures performed directly on the patient, but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
