Intended Use
The PathAssist Light Seeker is intended to locate, illuminate within, and transilluminate across nasal and sinus structures, including the frontal, ethmoid and maxillary sinuses, in patients aged 18 and over.
Device Description
The PathAssist™ Light Seeker™ is a fiber optic based, manually operated, reusable sinus seeker that can be connected to a light source to emit light from its distal end. It is labeled non-sterile and must be cleaned and sterilized or cleaned and high level disinfected prior to each use. The Light Seeker comes with two standard light post adapters, which allow the device to be compatible with commonly used 2.5mm - 3.5mm light guides (cables).
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and functionality of a fiber optic light seeker, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool used to locate, illuminate, and transilluminate structures, not to treat or cure a disease or condition. The performance studies focus on design verification and safety, not therapeutic efficacy.

No

The device is described as a fiber optic based illumination tool used to locate and illuminate nasal and sinus structures. Its intended use is to assist in visualization rather than to provide a diagnosis or diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "fiber optic based, manually operated, reusable sinus seeker" and mentions physical components like a fiber optic cable, light post adapters, and the need for cleaning and sterilization, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "locate, illuminate within, and transilluminate across nasal and sinus structures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for visualization and examination of anatomical structures.
  • Device Description: The description details a fiber optic based, manually operated, reusable sinus seeker that emits light. This aligns with a surgical or examination tool used directly on or within the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status. The provided information does not mention any analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the PathAssist Light Seeker is a medical device used for direct examination and visualization of anatomical structures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
