Intended Use
The THESSYS Multiscope is intended to visualize the inside of the patient through a cannulated incision for diagnostic and surgical procedures, such as arthroplasty, nucleotomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy.
Device Description
A multi-channel endoscope having working channel and/or irrigation channel(s), used to visualize the operative site. The THESSYS MULTISCOPE consists of light transmitting optical fibers and an image transmitting fiber bundle and lens, or a rigid rod-lens transmitting images. It has one or two irrigation channels and a working channel contained within a rigid stainless steel envelope.

No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of a standard endoscope, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis beyond visualization.

No
The device is described as being for visualization for diagnostic and surgical procedures, and its components (optical fibers, image transmitting fibers, irrigation channels) are consistent with an imaging tool, not one that directly treats a condition.

Yes.

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to visualize the inside of the patient through a cannulated incision for diagnostic and surgical procedures." The term "diagnostic" directly indicates its use for diagnosis, which is a key function of diagnostic devices.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like optical fibers, image transmitting fiber bundles, lenses, and a rigid stainless steel envelope, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "visualize the inside of the patient through a cannulated incision for diagnostic and surgical procedures." This describes a device used directly on or in the patient for visualization during procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details an endoscope with optical fibers, image transmission, irrigation channels, and a working channel within a rigid stainless steel envelope. This is consistent with a surgical or diagnostic instrument used for direct visualization within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. The description of the THESSYS Multiscope does not involve the analysis of biological specimens.

Therefore, the THESSYS Multiscope is a medical device used for direct visualization within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
