Intended Use
The flexible ENT-5000 Video ENT Scope with EndoSheath® Technology is intended for use in flexible endoscopic examination of the upper airway, vocal cords and/or nasal passages; and for use in diagnostic arthroscopic and endoscopic procedures to provide illumination and visualization of an interior cavity of the body through either a natural or surgical opening. The digital video processor is intended for use with the VSI flexible video scope.
Device Description
The VSI endoscopes are flexible endoscopes with connections to a video processor and display monitor. The EndoSheath® Techology for the ENT-5000 are optional, sterile, single-use protective sheath systems, with or without a working channel, that are intended to cover the entire insertion tube of the videoscope. The digital video processors are used with the flexible videoscopes for image visualization and capture.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard video endoscopy system and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities for image analysis, diagnosis, or other functions.

No

The device is described as being for "examination," "illumination," and "visualization," which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "for use in diagnostic arthroscopic and endoscopic procedures."

No

The device description explicitly mentions flexible endoscopes, a video processor, and optional sterile sheaths, all of which are hardware components. The software component (digital video processor) is used in conjunction with this hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used for flexible endoscopic examination and diagnostic arthroscopic and endoscopic procedures to visualize internal body cavities. This is a direct examination of the body, not an analysis of samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components used for visualization (endoscopes, video processor, sheaths). There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components 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 in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis based on sample analysis

The device is a tool for direct visualization within the body, which falls under the category of medical devices used for diagnostic imaging and procedures, but not in vitro diagnostics.
