Intended Use
The KARL STORZ CMOS Flexible Video Rhino-Laryngoscope System may only be used by persons with an appropriate medical qualification and who are acquainted with the rhino/laryngoscopic technique. The endoscope is used for endoscopic diagnosis within the nasal lumens and airway anatomy, and is intended to provide visualization via a video monitor.
Device Description
The Karl Storz CMOS Video Rhino-Laryngoscope System includes a flexible endoscope and a monitor. The rhino-laryngoscope consists of an integrated light located in the handle. The light is transmitted thought the fiber optic bundles and illuminates the anatomy under visualization. A new Storz specific CMOS imaging sensor located at the distal tip of the endoscope shaft which is inserted into the body cavities. The captured video signal is then transferred to the C-MAC monitor for display purposes. The Karl Storz CMOS Video Rhino-laryngoscope is a Class II device under 21 CFR874.4760, Rhino-Laryngoscope and accessories.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the hardware components (CMOS sensor, fiber optics, monitor) and standard performance testing, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing beyond display, or data sets for training/testing.

No.
The device is used for endoscopic diagnosis and visualization, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The endoscope is used for endoscopic diagnosis within the nasal lumens and airway anatomy..." which indicates its purpose is for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes a flexible endoscope with integrated hardware components (light, fiber optic bundles, CMOS imaging sensor) and a monitor, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device with potential software components for image processing and display.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "endoscopic diagnosis within the nasal lumens and airway anatomy" and to "provide visualization via a video monitor." This describes a device used for direct visualization of internal body structures, not for examining specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to diagnose disease.
  • Device Description: The description details a flexible endoscope with a camera and monitor for visualizing anatomy. This aligns with a device used for direct examination, not for in vitro testing.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used within the "nasal lumens and airway anatomy," which are internal body sites. IVDs typically analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Regulatory Classification: The device is classified under 21 CFR 874.4760, which is for "Rhino-Laryngoscope and accessories." This is a classification for devices used for direct examination of the nasal and laryngeal areas, not for IVDs.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device is used in vivo (within the body) for direct visualization.
