Intended Use
The EndoGuide is intended to be used with an endoscope to facilitate intubation, change of endoscopes, and removal of multiple polyps and/or foreign bodies.
Device Description
The EndoGuide fits over a pediatric colonoscope and can be converted from a flexible to a rigid configuration on demand. The EndoGuide is back loaded onto the shaft of the colonoscope before the instrument is inserted into the patient. The device was designed to be activated by a vacuum source and needs to be connected to the existing vacuum line in the endoscopy suite. Application of vacuum causes the device to become rigid. In this "active" mode (vacuum on) the rigid insertion tube facilitates the passing of the colonoscope thru the insertion tube and resists colonoscope looping. In the "passive" mode (vacuum off) the insertion tube is very flexible and can be advanced deeper into the colon.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical functionality (flexible to rigid conversion via vacuum) and does not mention any computational or data-driven processes characteristic of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also "Not Found".

No
The device facilitates intubation, change of endoscopes, and removal of polyps and foreign bodies, but it does not directly treat a disease or medical condition. It is a tool used during medical procedures.

No
The description of the EndoGuide indicates its function is to facilitate procedures (intubation, change of endoscopes, removal of polyps/foreign bodies) by providing support and rigidity to a colonoscope, rather than to diagnose medical conditions or identify diseases.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical device that fits over a colonoscope and changes rigidity based on a vacuum source. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used with an endoscope to facilitate procedures within the body (intubation, changing endoscopes, removing polyps/foreign bodies). This is an in-vivo procedure, not an in-vitro test.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device that fits over an endoscope and is inserted into the patient's colon. It manipulates the flexibility of the insertion tube. This is a medical device used for a procedural purpose, not for analyzing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in-vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the EndoGuide is a medical device used for a procedural purpose within the body, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Classification Name:Endoscope and Accessories
Classification Regulation:21 CFR 876.1500
Class:II
Product Code:KOG
Predicate Device:US Endoscopy Group, Guardus™ Overtube, K040836
Device Description:The EndoGuide fits over a pediatric colonoscope and can
be converted from a flexible to a rigid configuration on
demand. The EndoGuide is back loaded onto the shaft of
the colonoscope before the instrument is inserted into the
patient. The device was designed to be activated by a
vacuum source and needs to be connected to the existing
vacuum line in the endoscopy suite. Application of
vacuum causes the device to become rigid. In this "active"
mode (vacuum on) the rigid insertion tube facilitates the
passing of the colonoscope thru the insertion tube and
resists colonoscope looping. In the "passive" mode
(vacuum off) the insertion tube is very flexible and can be
advanced deeper into the colon.
Intended Use:The EndoGuide is intended to be used with an endoscope to
facilitate intubation, change of endoscopes, and removal of
multiple polyps and/or foreign bodies.
Device Comparison:The proposed device is similar to the US Endoscopy
Guardus™ Overtube. Both devices have identical
indications for use. The EndoGuide differs in that it is
capable of becoming rigid when required by the physician.
When rigid the device facilitates the passing of the

Dear Mr. Arbesu:

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 (Premarket, Approval), 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.
