More Information

No
The summary describes a physical device (flexible endoscope with sheath) and its intended use for examination. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies focus on functional and performance testing of the sheath system, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is used for examination and access, not for treating a disease or condition. While it can assist intubation, its primary purpose is diagnostic or assistive rather than therapeutic.

No
The device is described as an endoscope and sheath system intended for "endoscopic access and examination." While examination can lead to diagnosis, the device itself is a tool for visualization and access, not for performing the diagnostic assessment. It also mentions assisting intubation, which is a procedural use, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical sheath system intended to cover an endoscope, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "endoscopic access and examination of the larynx, esophagus and gastro-esophageal junction" and to "assist intubation." This describes a procedure performed directly on the patient for visualization and access, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "flexible trans-nasal esophagoscope with sheath system" and "protective sheath systems." This aligns with an endoscopic device used for direct examination.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device is used for direct visualization and access within the body.

§ 874.4710 Esophagoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An esophagoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the esophagoscope and is intended to examine or treat esophageal malfunction symptoms, esophageal or mediastinal disease, or to remove foreign bodies from the esophagus. When inserted, the device extends from the area of the hypopharynx to the stomach. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the flexible foreign body claw, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps and flexible biopsy curette, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)
Classification. Class II.
