Intended Use
The VSn is intended to visualize the nasal cavity and nasal pharynx during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as for viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures and for use in visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures.
Device Description
Visionsense Stereoscopic Vision System (VSn) consists of a proprietary CCD camera, embedded in the distal end of a rigid metal endoscope. An array of miniature lenses --- the Lenticular Array (LA) - built onto the CCD surface during the wafer fabrication process, captures the image from slightly different angles, thus mimicking the natural human "stereo vision" obtained when the eyes simultaneously pick up two different images of the same object (right and left). The captured image is subsequently transmitted to a PC workstation, processed and presented on a stereoscopic display panel. Images are recorded and may be later downloaded for further analysis.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on stereoscopic vision and image processing for display, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, interpretation, or decision support.

No

The device is described as a visualization system for diagnostic and surgical procedures. It does not exert any direct therapeutic action on the patient.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is intended for visualizing the nasal cavity and nasal pharynx "during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures".

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a proprietary CCD camera embedded in a rigid metal endoscope, which are hardware components.

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 device is for visualizing internal anatomical structures during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. It is used to aid the physician in seeing, not to perform tests on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description details a camera and endoscope system designed for capturing images of internal structures. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites listed are internal body cavities and structures, which are visualized directly by the device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health status. This device is a visualization tool used within the body.

§ 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.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The VSn is intended to visualize the nasal cavity and nasal pharynx during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as for viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures and for use in visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures.

Technological Characteristics/Principles of Operation

Visionsense Stereoscopic Vision System (VSn) consists of a proprietary CCD camera, embedded in the distal end of a rigid metal endoscope. An array of miniature lenses --- the Lenticular Array (LA) - built onto the CCD surface during the wafer fabrication process, captures the image from slightly different angles, thus mimicking the natural human "stereo vision" obtained when the eyes simultaneously pick up two different images of the same object (right and left). The captured image is subsequently transmitted to a PC workstation, processed and presented on a stereoscopic display panel. Images are recorded and may be later downloaded for further analysis.

Substantial Equivalence

Visionsense's VSn was previously cleared by FDA for viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures and for use in visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures (K081102, K073279). The subject device is technologically similar to the device for which FDA has granted marketing clearance, except -Visionsense is now seeking to expand the indication to include visualization of the nasal cavity and nasal pharynx during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Visionsense's VS11 System is also substantially equivalent to other previously cleared nasopharyngoscopes/ endoscopes, namely the asap ENT Endoscope (K032822). Performance data, to support this claim, is included in the body of the submission file. Thus, the VSn System is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.

Performance

No performance standards or special controls have been developed under Section 514 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDC Act") for nasopharyngoscopes. However, the VSu System and its components comply with international standards for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and biocompatibility.
