Intended Use
The Laparosopes and accessories are intended for use in providing access to and visualization of organs, and canals to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures. The arthroscope is indicated for illumination during joint examinations, arthroscopies, biopsies and diagnosis of joint disease in minimally invasive procedures of the knee, shoulder, wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome), temporal mandibular joint, ankle and elbow. The bipolar electrodes are use to coagulate and to remove or destroy tissue by the use of bipolar HF current.

More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard surgical instruments and endoscopes without mentioning any computational or analytical capabilities beyond basic visualization and energy delivery. There is no mention of image processing, AI, ML, or any related concepts.

Yes

Explanation: The device is explicitly stated to be used for "therapeutic surgical procedures" and the bipolar electrodes "coagulate and to remove or destroy tissue," which are therapeutic functions.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the arthroscope is indicated for "diagnosis of joint disease." While other components are for therapeutic procedures, the arthroscope component clearly has a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components such as surgical instruments, electrodes, endoscopes, and a light cable, all made of physical materials.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes the devices as being used in vivo (within the body) for surgical procedures, visualization of organs and joints, and tissue manipulation (coagulation, removal). IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description lists surgical instruments, endoscopes, electrodes, and accessories used directly on or within the patient. These are not components typically found in an IVD system.
  • Lack of IVD-Specific Information: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

The devices described are surgical instruments used for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed directly on the patient.

§ 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.
