The Anchorage Scope is designed to be introduced through natural body cavities or surgical incisions through introducers, needles or trocars, catheters, sheaths or other devices with lumens having an inside diameter larger than the outside diameter of the endoscope. The Anchorage Scope is indicated for the following applications: Ureteroscopy Bronchoscopy Thoracoscopy Nasopharyngoscopy/Sinuscopy General laparascopy Urology Gynecology
Device Description
The Anchorage™ Scope is a flexible fiber optic endoscope provided as a sterile single use device. The endoscope is used to visualize body cavities, organs, canals, and tissues. The Anchorage Scope is introduced through natural body cavities or surgical incisions through introducers or trocars, catheters, sheaths or other devices of with lumens having an inside diameter greater than the outside diameter of the endoscope.
More Information

No
The document describes a standard flexible fiber optic endoscope for visualization and does not mention any AI/ML capabilities or image processing beyond basic visualization.

No
The device is described as an endoscope for visualization purposes, not for treating or rehabilitating a condition.

Yes
The device is described as an endoscope intended for the visualization of body cavities, organs, canals, and tissues. Visualization for the purpose of examining and observing internal structures aligns with the function of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "flexible fiber optic endoscope provided as a sterile single use device," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the body. They perform tests on blood, urine, tissue samples, etc., outside of the body to diagnose diseases or conditions.
  • The Anchorage™ Scope is used for direct visualization within the body. Its intended use is to visualize body cavities, organs, canals, and tissues in situ using fiber optics.

The description clearly states it's a flexible fiber optic endoscope introduced into the body for visualization, which is the function of an endoscopic device, not an IVD.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Hampl:

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.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular logo with the text "1906 - 2006" at the top. The letters "FDA" are in the center of the logo in a bold, stylized font. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is written in a cursive font. There are three stars below the word "Centennial".
