Intended Use
The ClearPath-UGI System is intended for irrigating or cleaning the upper digestive tract and evacuating the irrigation fluid, blood and bile in the upper GI tract during endoscopic procedures. It is for use only by trained medical personnel located in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices.
Device Description
The ClearPath UGI's main purpose is to improve procedure reliability by improving procedural visualization during endoscopic procedures. The ClearPath UGI utilizes a suction / irrigation head for the purpose of irrigating or cleaning the upper digestive tract. The ClearPath UGI is composed of two major units: . The disposable Irrigator and . the reusable Control cabinet. The disposable Irrigator is attached to a standard endoscope by means of silicone bands and does not hinder the endoscope's functionality nor affects the procedure sequence in any way. The Control cabinet supplies the water flow and vacuum control using a peristaltic pump. The standard medical facility vacuum system is the vacuum source.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical components (peristaltic pump, suction/irrigation head) and fluid control, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

No
The device is intended for cleaning and irrigating the upper digestive tract during endoscopic procedures to improve visualization, not for directly treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The ClearPath-UGI System is described as being for irrigating, cleaning, and evacuating the upper digestive tract during endoscopic procedures to improve visualization. Its function is to facilitate the procedure, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components: a disposable Irrigator and a reusable Control cabinet with a peristaltic pump.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for irrigating, cleaning, and evacuating fluids from the upper digestive tract during endoscopic procedures. This is a procedural device used directly on the patient's body for visualization and cleaning, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of irrigation and suction, and its attachment to an endoscope. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, tissue, or other biological samples. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the ClearPath-UGI System is a medical device used for procedural support during endoscopy, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples outside of the body.

§ 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.
