Intended Use
The MicroEndoscope is intended to provide an endoscopic means to view a body cavity for ear, nose or throat procedures.
Device Description
The MicroEndoscope is a semi-rigid fiberscope that allows for visualization of the ear, nose, and throat. The device is labeled non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use. The MicroEndoscope is accompanied by a camera coupler, which allows the MicroEndoscope to connect to a standard endoscopic camera.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical device (fiberscope, camera coupler) and its intended use for visualization. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing beyond basic visualization, or data sets for training/testing.

No.
The device is for viewing a body cavity, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one. It facilitates viewing but does not treat any condition.

Yes

The device's intended use is to "view a body cavity for ear, nose or throat procedures," which is a diagnostic function because it involves visualizing internal structures to assess their condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "semi-rigid fiberscope" and includes a "camera coupler," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide an endoscopic means to view a body cavity for ear, nose or throat procedures." This describes a device used for direct visualization within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "semi-rigid fiberscope that allows for visualization of the ear, nose, and throat." This is consistent with an endoscopic device used for viewing, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or performing diagnostic tests in vitro (outside the living body).

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is purely for visualization.

§ 874.4760 Nasopharyngoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A nasopharyngoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the nasopharyngoscope and is intended to examine or treat the nasal cavity and nasal pharynx. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel and flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the antroscope, nasopharyngolaryngoscope, nasosinuscope, nasoscope, postrhinoscope, rhinoscope, salpingoscope, flexible foreign body claw, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biospy brush, rigid biopsy forceps and flexible biopsy curette, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. Cogan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
