Intended Use
The EvoTech™ System, a washer/disinfector, is indicated for use with highlevel disinfectant CIDEX® OPA Concentrate and an enzymatic detergent (CIDEZYME GI) to achieve cleaning and high level disinfection of heat sensitive (>60℃) semi-critical endoscopes. Manual cleaning of medical devices (endoscopes) is not required prior to placement in the EvoTech System when selecting those cycles that contain a wash stage. (Manual cleaning is required when selecting the Disinfect Only or Disinfect/Alcohol Flush Cycles.)
Device Description
The EvoTech™ System is a two-basin washer/disinfector utilizing an enzymatic detergent and a concentrated high-level disinfectant, CIDEX OPA Concentrate Solution. Both the detergent and high-level disinfectant are diluted in the system to in-use concentrations. The EvoTech System is capable of cleaning endoscopes that have not been manually cleaned prior to placing in the EvoTech System.

The description focuses on the mechanical and chemical processes of washing and disinfection, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.

No.
This device is a washer/disinfector designed for cleaning and high-level disinfection of semi-critical endoscopes, which are used to process other medical devices, not to treat patients directly.

No

The device is a washer/disinfector used for cleaning and high-level disinfection of endoscopes, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "two-basin washer/disinfector utilizing an enzymatic detergent and a concentrated high-level disinfectant," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided text, the EvoTech™ System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to clean and high-level disinfect heat-sensitive semi-critical endoscopes. This is a process applied to medical devices (endoscopes) themselves, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a washer/disinfector that uses detergent and disinfectant to process endoscopes. This aligns with a device used for reprocessing medical equipment, not for in vitro testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents for testing
    • Measuring analytes

The EvoTech™ System is a device used for the reprocessing of medical devices, specifically endoscopes, to make them safe for reuse. This falls under the category of medical device sterilization or disinfection equipment, not IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

The EvoTech™ System is a washer/disinfector for use with an enzymatic detergent and the high-level disinfectant CIDEX® OPA Concentrate Solution at 50° with an exposure time of 5 min to achieve cleaning and high-level disinfection of flexible endoscopes.

The EvoTech System was tested to determine its ability to clean endoscopes. Both simulated use and in-use studies were completed. In both instances, endoscopes were contaminated and then processed in the "wash only" cycle in the EvoTech System. Residual soil was quantified for both protein and total organic carbon (TOC). In all instances the residuals were below the predefined limit of 8.5ug/cm2.

Additionally, because the wash cycle is intended to eliminate the need for manual cleaning, studies were completed comparing the residual soil after manual cleaning according to the procedures of the Society for Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA) and cleaning in the EvoTech System. In non-inferior trial, the washing of endoscopes in the EvoTech System was determined to be non-inferior to washing of endoscopes following the SGNA procedure.

Endoscopes used in clinical procedures were processed through the "wash only" cycle of the EvoTech System and then extracted for residual organic material. Processing in the EvoTech System reduced the residual protein and TOC in all channels and surfaces to less than the predefined acceptance criteria, indicating that the EvoTech System can clean clinically used endoscopes.

High-level disinfection of cleaned endoscopes was achieved. Endoscopes were contaminated with Mycobacterium terrae imbedded in soil. Soil was inoculated in channels and on the surfaces of endoscopes so that each endoscopes contained ≥8.5ug/cm2 protein with >10 cfu/mL M. terrae. Endoscopes were disinfected in the EvoTech System without manual or automated washing. After processing the contaminated endoscopes through the disinfect cycle only in the EvoTech System, there was a >106 reduction in M. terrae.

§ 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)
