Intended Use
The LO-50 LED Light Source is intended to provide light via an accessory fiber optic light guide to illuminate the site of surgery during minimally invasive surgical procedures in arthroscopy (orthopedic surgery), and for use with a surgical headlight for general surgical or examination procedures.
Device Description
The LO-50 Light Source is a fiber optic light source using a single solid state light emitting element to produce visible light required to illuminate surgical sites for indirect visualization during medical procedures. The LED produces white light by electroluminescence (as in a tungsten filament lamp) or fluorescence (as in a xenon lamp.) Both of the latter technologies use large amounts of electricity and generate significant heat in creating light. LED generates a greater light output as a percentage of energy input to the lamp. It uses Pulse Width Modulation to control the on/off time of the LED at full output to determine brightness. The LO-50 light source uses a small optical element to capture and direct the light to a port into which one of many common medical light guides may be fitted to conduct the light where needed. The unit consists of the aforementioned LED, cooling fan, light port, sheet metal covers, plastic front and rear covers, and front mounted power switch and dimming control. The unit is very similar in design, format, functionality and size to other light sources including the predicate device.

No
The device description focuses on the hardware components and basic light control mechanisms (Pulse Width Modulation). There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies. The performance studies are also focused on light output and temperature, not algorithmic performance.

No
This device is a light source used to illuminate the surgical site, not to provide therapy directly.

No
The device is described as a light source intended to illuminate the site of surgery, not to diagnose conditions. Its function is to provide light for visualization during procedures, which is a therapeutic or procedural aid, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an LED, cooling fan, light port, sheet metal covers, plastic covers, power switch, and dimming control.

Based on the provided information, the LO-50 LED Light Source is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to "illuminate the site of surgery during minimally invasive surgical procedures" and "for use with a surgical headlight for general surgical or examination procedures." This describes a device used in vivo (within a living organism) to aid in visualization during medical procedures.
  • Device Description: The description details a light source that provides visible light via a fiber optic light guide to illuminate surgical sites. This aligns with an in vivo application.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside of a living organism), such as blood, tissue, or other bodily fluids, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD device.

Therefore, the LO-50 LED Light Source is a medical device used for illumination during surgical and examination procedures, not an IVD device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Both light sources were non-clinically tested to determine the safety and efficacy under the indications for use. The units were tested for operation, user interface, light quality and safety during use. User controls and operations were examine and compared, as well as ease of connection of common light guides. The brightness of light emitted by a reference light guide from each unit was measured. Brightness and quality of illumination from a typical fiber optic headlight system and arthroscope was examined and compared. Operating temperatures of the light sources, accessible parts and lighted instruments were measured and compared. Each unit had essentially equivalent performance and temperature characteristics.

(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.

Substantial Equivalence:

The technological differences between the LO-50 Light Source and Sunoptics Technologies LLS-050 LED Light Source do not raise new questlons of safety or effectiveness. Both light sources produced equivalent brightness and quality of light, were similar in control and operation, interfaced correctly and effectively to the arthroscope and surgical headlight used to test and verify performance. The LED technology, power supply, user interface and connectivity are nearly identical. Therefore, the LO-50 Light Source is substantially equivalent to the predicate marketed device.
