More Information

No
The summary describes a standard flexible endoscope with LED illumination and does not mention any AI/ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No.
The device is described as being for "flexible endoscopic examination," which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic intervention.

No
The intended use states it is for "flexible endoscopic examination". This describes a viewing or imaging function, not a diagnostic one. While the examination may inform a diagnosis, the device itself is not performing the diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components (Scope, BLS-1000, LED based illumination) and performance studies include testing of hardware characteristics (light output, operating temperature, electrical safety).

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "flexible endoscopic examination of the upper airway, vocal chords and/or nasal passages." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body for visual inspection, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical device (scope and light source) used for viewing, not on reagents, kits, or instruments used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes)
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment based on sample analysis.

In summary, the Vision Sciences' Flexible ENT Scope is a medical device used for direct visualization within the body, which falls under the category of an endoscope, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
