Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical biopsy valve with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML related terms.

No
The device, a biopsy valve, is intended to provide access for other endoscopic devices, maintain sufflation, and minimize leakage, which are functional aspects of an endoscopic procedure, not therapeutic interventions themselves.

No

This device, a biopsy valve, is described as providing access for endoscopic device passage and exchange, maintaining sufflation, minimizing leakage, and providing access for irrigation. Its function is to facilitate the biopsy procedure, not to diagnose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical biopsy valve, a hardware component used with endoscopes. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a device used during an endoscopic procedure to facilitate access, maintain insufflation, and manage leakage. This is a procedural device, not a device used to test samples in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical valve used with endoscopes. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, diagnostic results, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device.

Therefore, the EndoChoice biopsy valve, as described, is a medical device used in a clinical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
