No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a patient table, C-arm with X-ray tube, image intensifier, and shockwave system, indicating it is a physical medical 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 clearly states that the LITHOSKOP is a "urologic procedures system primarily designed for the fragmentation of urinary tract stones... by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)." It also facilitates "urological and diagnostic procedures." This describes a device used on the patient for treatment and imaging, not a device used to examine specimens from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a system with a patient table, C-arm with X-ray and image intensifier, and a shockwave system. These are components of a medical device used for imaging and treatment within the body, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites mentioned (urinary tract, renal calyx, renal pelvis, ureteral) are locations within the patient's body where the device is used directly.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the LITHOSKOP is a therapeutic and diagnostic imaging device used directly on the patient, not a device used to perform tests on samples outside of the body, which is the definition of an IVD.

§ 876.5990 Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter.

(a)
Identification. An extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter is a device that focuses ultrasonic shock waves into the body to noninvasively fragment urinary calculi within the kidney or ureter. The primary components of the device are a shock wave generator, high voltage generator, control console, imaging/localization system, and patient table. Prior to treatment, the urinary stone is targeted using either an integral or stand-alone localization/imaging system. Shock waves are typically generated using electrostatic spark discharge (spark gap), electromagnetically repelled membranes, or piezoelectric crystal arrays, and focused onto the stone with either a specially designed reflector, dish, or acoustic lens. The shock waves are created under water within the shock wave generator, and are transferred to the patient's body using an appropriate acoustic interface. After the stone has been fragmented by the focused shock waves, the fragments pass out of the body with the patient's urine.(b)

Contraindications

Do not use the LITHOSKOP in patients with:

  • . Confirmed or suspected pregnancy.
  • . Coagulation abnormalities (as indicated by abnormal prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, or bleeding time) or those currently receiving anticoagulants (including aspirin).
  • . Arterial calcification or vascular aneurysm in the lithotripter's shockwave path.
  • . Urinary tract obstruction distal to the stone.
  • . Anatomy which precludes focusing the device at the target stone, such as severe obesity or excessive spinal curvature.

Warnings, Precautions, Adverse Events

Warnings

  • . Anticoagulants:
    Patients receiving anticoagulants (including aspirin) should temporarily discontinue such medication prior to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy to prevent severe hemorrhage.

  • . Cardiac monitoring:
    Always perform cardiac monitoring during lithotripsy treatment, since the use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has been reported to cause ventricular cardiac arrhythmias in some individuals.

This warning is especially important for patients who may be at risk of cardiac arrhythmia due to a history of cardiac irregularities or heart failure.

. Pacemaker or implantable defibrillator:

To reduce the incidence of malfunction to a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator, the pulse generator should be programmed to a single chamber, non-rate responsive mode (pacemakers) or an inactive mode (implantable defibrillators) prior to lithotripsy, and evaluated for proper function posttreatment. Do not focus the lithotripter's shock wave through or near the pulse generator.

  • . Infected stones:
    Prophylactic antibiotics should be administered prior to treatment whenever the possibility of stone infection exists. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment of pathogen-harboring calculi could result in systemic infection.

Cardiac disease, immunosuppression, and diabetes mellitus: .

Prophylactic antibiotics should be administered prior to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment to patients with cardiac disease (including valvular disease), immunosuppression, and diabetes mellitus, to prevent bacterial and/or subacute endocarditis.

. Bilateral stones:

Do not perform bilateral treatment of kidney stones in a single treatment session, because either bilateral renal injury or total urinary tract obstruction by stone fragments may result. Patients with bilateral kidney stones should be treated using a separate treatment session for each side. In the event of total urinary obstruction, corrective procedures may be needed to assure drainage of urine from the kidney.

. Air-filled interfaces in shock wave path:

Do not apply shock waves to air-filled areas of the body, i.e., intestines or lungs. Shock waves are rapidly dispersed by passage through an air-filled interface, which can cause bleeding and other harmful side effects.

  • Cardiac arrhythmia during treatment: .
    If a patient experiences cardiac arrhythmia during treatment at a fixed shock wave repetition rate, shock wave delivery should either be terminated or switched to an ECG-gated mode (i.e., delivery of the shock wave during the refractory period of the patient's cardiac cycle). As a general practice, patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmia should be treated in the ECG-gated mode.

Precautions

Impacted or embedded stones: .

The effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy may be limited in patients with impacted or embedded stones. Alternative procedures are recommended for these patients.

  • . Staghorn stones:
    The effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy may be limited in patients with either staghorn or large (> 20 mm in largest dimension) stones. Alternative procedures are recommended for these patients.

. Small ureteral stones:

Small middle and lower ureteral stones, 4 to 6 mm in largest dimension, are likely to pass spontaneously. Therefore, the risks and benefits of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be carefully assessed in this patient population.

Renal iniury: .

To reduce the risk of injury to the kidney and surrounding tissues, it is recommended that:

the number of shock waves administered during each treatment session be minimized;

retreatment to the same kidney/anatomical site occur no sooner than 1 month after the initial treatment;

each kidney/anatomical site be limited to a total of three treatment sessions.

  • . Use of fluoroscopy:
    While fluoroscopy must be used during the procedure, caution should be used to minimize the exposure.

. Electromagnetic interference:

If electromagnetic interference between the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter and nearby electronic equipment is suspected (as evidenced by erratic behavior with either device), it is recommended that their distance be increased until proper operation resumes. If it is necessary to operate an electronic device in close proximity to the lithotripsy system during treatment, the device and the lithotripter should be tested for proper simultaneous operation prior to clinical use.

. Radiographic follow-up:

All patients should be followed radiographically after treatment until stone-free or there are no remaining stone fragments which are likely to cause silent obstruction and loss of renal function.

. Electrical shock hazard:

Never remove any of the cabinet covers to the system's electronics. The high voltage
