More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical aspects and materials of the trocar system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
Explanation: The device is an endoscopic instrument used for puncture and port establishment in laparoscopic surgery, which is a surgical tool, not a therapeutic device designed to treat a condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an endoscopic instrument for creating a port of entry into the abdominal cavity for other endoscopic instruments. Its function is to facilitate access during surgery, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a "Hybrid Trocar System" made from biocompatible materials and available in various physical sizes and configurations (diameter, length, with/without stopcock, threaded/smooth). This indicates a physical medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "puncture of the abdominal cavity and establishment of a port of entry for endoscopic instruments" in surgical procedures (laparoscopy). This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical instrument (trocar) used for creating access points during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.

IVDs are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device is a surgical instrument used for access during a procedure.

§ 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.
