Intended Use
The VEROSCOPE is used percutaneously for penetrating the abdominal cavity under endoscopic control to safely reach a defined body region. It therefore also serves to create a pneumoperitoneum under visual control in the abdomen. The Dilation Tube System and standard Dilation System is used for dilating surgically created passages in body cavities. Indications and field of use: The Veroscope and dilation tube systems are used for diagnosis and therapy in conjunction with endoscopic accessories in various disciplines such as surgery, gynecology and urology.
Device Description
The 'Veroscope' consists of an outer trocar sleeve with insufflation stopcock, a veress cannula rice + erosopo consisted brotection tube with a transparent blunt tip and an endoscope. The 'Veroscope' is similar to a spring-loaded, blunt Veress needle that is used for penetrating tissue layers under endoscopic view. The Standard Dilation System consists of metal dilation sleeves and a guide rod. The Dilation Tube System 4760 consists of a plastic dilation tube and trocars with sleeves of various dimensions.

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for surgical access and dilation, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for "diagnosis and therapy" and is used to create a pneumoperitoneum and dilate surgical passages, which are therapeutic interventions.

Yes
The "Indications and field of use" section explicitly states that "The Veroscope and dilation tube systems are used for diagnosis and therapy".

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a trocar sleeve, veress cannula, protection tube, endoscope, metal dilation sleeves, guide rod, plastic dilation tube, and trocars, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The VEROSCOPE and Dilation Tube System are used for surgical access and manipulation within the body. They are tools for creating passages, providing visual access (endoscopic view), and facilitating diagnosis and therapy in vivo (within the living body).
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the device being used to analyze any specimens taken from the body. The endoscopic view is of the internal anatomy directly, not a processed sample.

The device is clearly intended for surgical and endoscopic procedures performed directly on the patient, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 884.1720 Gynecologic laparoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gynecologic laparoscope is a device used to permit direct viewing of the organs within the peritoneum by a telescopic system introduced through the abdominal wall. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures on the female genital organs. This generic type of device may include: Trocar and cannula, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheater, light source and cables, and component parts.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for gynecologic laparoscope accessories that are not part of a specialized instrument or device delivery system, do not have adapters, connector channels, or do not have portals for electrosurgical, lasers, or other power sources. Such gynecologic laparosope accessory instruments include: the lens cleaning brush, biopsy brush, clip applier (without clips), applicator, cannula (without trocar or valves), ligature carrier/needle holder, clamp/hemostat/grasper, curette, instrument guide, ligature passing and knotting instrument, suture needle (without suture), retractor, mechanical (noninflatable), snare, stylet, forceps, dissector, mechanical (noninflatable), scissors, and suction/irrigation probe. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

The Veroscope and the Dilation Tube Systems are used for diagnosis and therapy in conjunction rity veroscopic accessories in various disciplines such as surgery, gynecology and urology.

Technological Characteristics 3.0

With increased tissue resistance, which is the case in particular with boundary layers, for with the rased thead recording is pushed back against the force of the spring, the transparent tip springs back and the puncture site can be observed with the endoscope. By pressing the the brings on the veress cannula serves to block the spring-back action of the transparent tip.
