Device Description
The iScience Surgical Ophthalmic Microcannula, or iTRACK, is a flexible microcannula designed to allow atraumatic cannulation of spaces in the eye such as the anterior chamber and posterior segment, for infusion and aspiration of fluids during surgery, including saline and viscoelastics. The microcannula incorporates an optical fiber to allow transmission of light to the microcannula tip for surgical illumination and guidance.

No
The summary describes a physical surgical tool (microcannula) for fluid management and illumination during eye surgery. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, DNN, or ML. The performance studies focus on sterilization, biocompatibility, packaging, and meeting performance requirements, not algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is used for fluid infusion/aspiration and illumination during surgery, which are supportive functions for the surgery itself, not for treating a condition directly.

No.
The device is indicated for fluid infusion and aspiration, as well as illumination, during surgery, which are therapeutic and procedural functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "flexible microcannula" that "incorporates an optical fiber," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "fluid infusion and aspiration, as well as illumination, during surgery." This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a "flexible microcannula designed to allow atraumatic cannulation of spaces in the eye... for infusion and aspiration of fluids during surgery." This further reinforces its role as a surgical instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of the iScience Surgical Ophthalmic Microcannula does not mention any such use or analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the iScience Surgical Ophthalmic Microcannula is a surgical device, 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.
