Intended Use
The Apple Medical OB Mobius Elastic Retractor is indicated for use to assist in laparotomy procedures. It is intended to provide incision retraction and to protect against wound contamination during open surgery.
Device Description
The Apple Medical OB Mobius Elastic Retractor is used for laparotomy procedures where a transverse suprapubic incision is made in the abdominal wall allowing access to the peritoneal cavity. Once the incision is made, the internal o-ring is manually collapsed and inserted through the abdominal incision where it is allowed to spring open against the parietal peritoneum. The external quad-ring is then pulled upward placing the cylindrical sleeve in tension and the operator rolls the ring down the sleeve until the ring sits firmly against the skin. The radial force of the two rings act to retract the abdominal wall to the desired circular geometry.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and substantial equivalence to a predicate device, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.

No.
The device is described as assisting in surgical procedures by providing incision retraction and protecting against wound contamination, which are supportive functions during surgery, not direct therapeutic interventions.

No
The device, a surgical retractor, is used to assist in laparotomy procedures by providing incision retraction and protecting against wound contamination, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, mechanical retractor with rings and a sleeve, not a software application.

Based on the provided information, the Apple Medical OB Mobius Elastic Retractor is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for assisting in laparotomy procedures by providing incision retraction and protecting against wound contamination during open surgery. This is a surgical device used in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The description details its mechanical function in retracting the abdominal wall during surgery. This is a physical manipulation of tissue, not a test performed on samples in vitro (outside the living body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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.
