Intended Use
Laparoscopes are used by surgeons in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Laparoscopic minimally invasive procedures are performed in the abdominal cavity by means of small skin punctures that allow the insertion of the laparoscope and laparoscopic instruments. The PMC Laparoscopic instruments are intended to scrape, cut, grasp, hold, remove, and manipulate tissue, organs or bowel during laparoscopic surgery. The secondary function is to provide monopolar electrocautery capability to dissect and coagulate soft tissue.
Device Description
PMC Laparoscopes provide illumination and visualization in diagnostic procedures and in conjunction with laparoscopic instruments (accessories) operative laparoscopic procedures as: -unexplained pelvic pain (acute, chronic) -infertility work-up -tubal sterilization -diagnosis and/or treatment of ectopic pregnancy -evaluation, diagnosis and/or treatment of pelvic tumors, incl. myomata (less than 16 weeks gestational size) -Retrieval of foreign bodies -determination of the presence and extent of pelvic endometriosis -determination of the presence and extent of pelvic inflammatory disease (if not in acute stage) -access to abdomen for surgical procedures such as LAVH -visualization, diagnosis and/or treatment of perforate abdominal organs The PMC Laparoscopic instruments contain different components such as scissors, forceps, connections, handles, sheaths, laparoscopes, light adapters, trocars, electrode, and inserts. The instruments are made out of martensitic stainless steel, a standard material for medical devices, and insulation material.

No
The document describes standard laparoscopic instruments and procedures, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
Explanation: The device is used in therapeutic procedures and performs therapeutic functions such as cutting, scraping, grasping, removing, and manipulating tissue, as well as providing electrocautery to dissect and coagulate soft tissue. Its intended uses also include the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, pelvic tumors, and perforate abdominal organs.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections explicitly state that laparoscopes are used in "diagnostic procedures" or for "visualization and diagnosis" of various conditions like pelvic pain, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic tumors, endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components such as scissors, forceps, handles, sheaths, laparoscopes, and trocars, and mentions materials like stainless steel and insulation, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used by surgeons in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures within the abdominal cavity for manipulating tissue, organs, and bowel. It also mentions providing electrocautery.
  • Device Description: The description details components like scissors, forceps, laparoscopes, trocars, and electrodes, all of which are instruments used directly on or within the body during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The description of this device does not involve the analysis of such samples.

The device described is a surgical instrument used for direct intervention and visualization within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
