Intended Use
Insuflow® CO2lonShield™ is a gas conditioner accessory device for use during colonoscopy procedures, including CT Colonography (CTC or Virtual Colonoscopy) and conventional Colonoscopy procedures, and intraoperative endoscopy procedures, intended to heat, humidify and filter a CO2 gas stream for administration as a distention media.
Device Description
The Insuflow® CO2lonShield™ device is a single use device that attaches to the outlet port of a regulated CO2 source and is designed to warm and humidify the CO2 gas stream prior to gas delivery during colonoscopy and intraoperative endoscopy procedures. The Insuflow® CO2lonShield™ device consists of a disposable filter heater/humidifier tubing set and a control module that houses the control and safety circuits for the system. Regulated CO2 gas flows into the Insuflow® CO2lonShield™ device, through the inline filter, continues along the tube to enter the Insuflow® CO2lonShield™ device cassette that contains the heating element and humidification media, through a tube that connects to an endoscope/colonoscope or rectal probe for gas delivery into the patient's gastroenterological cavity.

No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of heating, humidifying, and filtering CO2 gas. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is described as an accessory to heat, humidify, and filter CO2 gas for administration as a distention media during colonoscopy, not to directly treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a gas conditioner accessory for heating, humidifying, and filtering a CO2 gas stream used as a distention media during colonoscopy procedures. Its function is to modify the gas before administration, not to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components including a disposable filter heater/humidifier tubing set and a control module housing control and safety circuits, indicating it is a hardware device with software control, not a software-only device.

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 used to "heat, humidify and filter a CO2 gas stream for administration as a distention media" during colonoscopy and intraoperative endoscopy procedures. This is a therapeutic or procedural support function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device conditions CO2 gas for delivery into the patient's body. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is the core function of an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Insuflow® CO2lonShield™ is a medical device used to facilitate a medical procedure, but it does not meet the definition of 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.
