This device is intended to transmit light for illumination purposes from the light source to endoscopes.
Device Description
A 5mm fiber-optic light transmitting core with durable protective sleeve and stainless steel couplings at each end. One coupling is for the light source and the opposite end for connection to an endoscope. The core is inserted into a durable and reusable silicone rubber sheath. One length is available: 7.5 Feet. Field replaceable fiber-optic core.

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

No
Explanation: The device is intended to transmit light for illumination purposes to endoscopes and is compared to a predicate fiber optic cable, indicating it is an accessory for visualization rather than a device with a direct therapeutic effect.

No

The device is described as a fiber-optic light transmitting cord for illumination during endoscopic procedures. Its intended use is to transmit light, not to diagnose medical conditions or analyze patient data.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a fiber-optic core, protective sleeve, stainless steel couplings, and a silicone rubber sheath. It is a hardware device for transmitting light.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "to transmit light for illumination purposes from the light source to endoscopes." This is a function related to medical imaging and visualization within the body, not the analysis of samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a fiber-optic cable for light transmission, which aligns with the intended use and not with typical IVD components (like reagents, test strips, or analyzers for biological samples).
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device's function is purely for illumination during an endoscopic procedure.

Dear Mr. Ward:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
