Intended Use
The EndoArm system consists of the EndoArm, a stabilizing fixation(adapter), Neuroendoscope (A1**A series). A number of components and accessories are also necessary for this system. ● EndoArm This product has been designed for manipulation and positioning of the Neuroendoscope during neurosurgery and spinesurgery. ● Neuroendoscopes (A81000A, A81001A, A81002A, A81010A, A81011A, A81012A, A81031A, A81032A, A81041A, A81042A) The Neuroendoscopes are intended for use in observation and diagnosis of the brain ventricles and brain parenchyma, such as observation and diagnosis of cerebral aneurysms, hypophysis tumors, hematomas, brain tumors, cerebral vascular systems, cranial nerve and vascular compression syndromes as well as observation and diagnosis of lumber and cervical spine, such as herniated disc material, nerve roots and nucleus material.
Device Description
Subject device is a neurological endoscopy system, which consists of EndoArm, a stabilizing fixation component (adapter) and a family of rigid neurological endoscope. A number of component and accessories are also necessary for this system. (1) EndoArm: Mechanical: The Endoarm counter balance arm is designed to deliver smooth endoscope movement and steady fixation by use of compressed nitrogen gas to control the arm movement. The shape of the stand differs from the predicate device in that the predicate device is a bedside fixed design and subject device is a floor stand type. This allows physicians to move the endoscope near the target site only. Illumination: The illumination is supplied by the Neuroendoscope through the light guide cable connected to the separate high intensity light source, OLYMPUS CLV-S40. This light source utilizes a Xenon 300W bulb. Imaging: Another significant difference from the predicate device is the ability of the EndoArm to manage image data from the Neuroendoscope and allow the user to adjust zoom, focus and manage intego adda resiste the EndoArm from fine adjustment of the endoscope potion to image adjustment by one hand. This feature is accomplished by the connection of the Neuroendoscope through the adapter (A81020A) on the EndoArm. The image from the distal end of Neuroendoscope is transmitted to the monitor via the CCD of OTV-S7V camera head, mounted in the EndoArm. (2) Neuroendoscope ( model: A81000A, A81001A, A81002A,A81010A, A81011A, A81012A, A81031A, A81032A, A81041A, A81042A): Ten telescope models are discussed in this premarket notification. The range of specifications covers two different insertion diameters ( ø 2.7mm / ø 4mm), five different working lengths (107mm/ 110mm / 112mm/134mm/ 137mm) and five different fields of view (0/ 30/ 70/ -30/-70 ( rorme). The crank shaped endoscope offers the largest operation space and microscopic dog. The craint on onail. In one doscope models are substantially equivalent to the predicate Neuroendoscope (#k971340). (3) Adapter ( model: A81020A): The subject device is an adapter for connecting the Neuroendoscope A810**A series to the EndoArm stabilizing fixation device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical, illumination, and basic image management features (zoom, focus) of the device. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced image analysis or decision support features that would typically indicate the presence of such technology.

No.
The device is intended for observation and diagnosis, and for manipulation and positioning of an endoscope during surgery; it is not described as providing a therapeutic effect.

Yes

The Neuroendoscopes component of the system is explicitly stated as "intended for use in observation and diagnosis" of various brain and spine conditions. This directly points to it being a diagnostic device. While the EndoArm manipulates the endoscope, the endoscope itself performs the diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including the EndoArm (a mechanical arm), Neuroendoscopes (physical endoscopes), and an adapter. While there is mention of image data management and adjustment, this is integrated into the hardware system and not presented as a standalone software device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The EndoArm system is used during surgical procedures (neurosurgery and spine surgery) to manipulate and position a neuroendoscope. The neuroendoscope is used for direct observation and diagnosis of internal anatomical structures (brain ventricles, brain parenchyma, spine).
  • No Specimen Analysis: The system does not analyze any specimens taken from the patient's body. It provides visual information directly from within the body.

Therefore, the EndoArm system falls under the category of a surgical instrument or endoscopic system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

1. Summary

Subject device is a neurological endoscopy system, which consists of EndoArm, a stabilizing fixation component (adapter) and a family of rigid neurological endoscope. A number of component and accessories are also necessary for this system.

(1) EndoArm:

Mechanical

The Endoarm counter balance arm is designed to deliver smooth endoscope movement and steady fixation by use of compressed nitrogen gas to control the arm movement. The shape of the stand differs from the predicate device in that the predicate device is a bedside fixed design and subject device is a floor stand type. This allows physicians to move the endoscope near the target site only.

Illumination

The illumination is supplied by the Neuroendoscope through the light guide cable connected to the separate high intensity light source, OLYMPUS CLV-S40. This light source utilizes a Xenon 300W bulb.

Imaging

Another significant difference from the predicate device is the ability of the EndoArm to manage image data from the Neuroendoscope and allow the user to adjust zoom, focus and manage intego adda resiste the EndoArm from fine adjustment of the endoscope potion to image adjustment by one hand.

This feature is accomplished by the connection of the Neuroendoscope through the adapter (A81020A) on the EndoArm. The image from the distal end of Neuroendoscope is transmitted to the monitor via the CCD of OTV-S7V camera head, mounted in the EndoArm.
