No
The device description and performance testing focus on the physical and optical properties of a rigid endoscope, with no mention of software, image processing, or AI/ML capabilities.
No
The device is a rigid endoscope for visualization during surgical procedures, not a device that directly or indirectly treats medical conditions.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "rigid reusable endoscope for visualization during Otolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery." Its purpose is to provide visualization, not to diagnose a condition. It is a tool for a surgeon to see during a procedure.
No
The device description explicitly states the device is a rigid reusable endoscope made from metal, fiber optics, and rigid rod-lenses, which are all hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for visualization during surgical procedures in otolaryngology and Head and Neck. This is a direct visualization tool used in vivo (within the body) to aid the surgeon.
- Device Description: The description clearly states it's a rigid reusable endoscope for visualization. It transmits light and images from within the body to an external display.
- Lack of Diagnostic Testing: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such testing on specimens.
- Focus on Visualization: The entire description and performance testing focus on the device's ability to provide clear visualization and its physical properties for surgical use.
The Schoelly Sinuscope is a surgical instrument used for direct visualization during procedures, not a device for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Device Description
The Schoelly Sinuscope is a rigid reusable endoscope for visualization during Otolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery in conjunction with a commercially available and approved light guide, light source, video camera, monitor, and printer. Light source, video camera, monitor, and printer are not included in the scope of delivery and are further not within the scope of this application.
Schoelly Sinuscopes are manufactured in multiple configurations that differ in insertion tube outer diameter and working length and with respect to optical parameters (direction of view, field of view). Several models of the Schoelly Sinuscope have already been cleared for marketing by FDA (K133682) for the visualization during arthroscopic procedures.
Like other currently marketed sinuscopes, Schoelly Sinuscopes have outer surfaces mainly made from metal (Phynox cobalt-nickel-chromium alloy, 304 stainless steel) and further comprise fiber optics for light transmission and rigid rod-lenses for image transmission.
The Schoelly Sinuscope is delivered in a non-sterile condition and is already CE marked.

Technological Characteristics
Light that is created by an external light source is transmitted from the Sinuscope light guide connector through the Sinuscope itself to the tip via a fiber optic system. Images are transferred the other way back through a rigid rod lens system. Technical parameters of the Schoelly Sinuscopes that characterize the optical view are the Direction of View (0°-70°) and the Field of View (80°-100°). The image can be displayed by a camera/monitor system which can be connected to the Sinuscope eyepiece. The Schoelly Sinuscopes are available in two different configurations for the insertion tube: 4mm diameter, working length 175mm and 2.7mm diameter, working length 110mm. All configurations of the Schoelly Sinuscope do not have any working channel.
A detailed comparison of the technological characteristics with the predicate device is shown in the table below.

Indications for Use
The Schoelly Sinuscope is intended for use in otolaryngology and Head and Neck procedures, including rhinology, and endoscopic plastic and reconstructive surgery.
The indications for use of the proposed devices are identical to the indications for use of the Medtronic predicate device.
Non-clinical Performance Testing
The Schoelly Sinuscope was subjected to temperature, optical parameter, biocompatibility and performance testing with identical acceptance criteria for the Schoelly and the predicate devices. The results of this testing demonstrated that the Schoelly Sinuscope has met pre-determined acceptance criteria and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The risks associated with the use of the new device were found acceptable when evaluated in accordance with ISO 14971. Risks and benefits of predicate device are the same as compared to the Schoelly Sinuscope.
Temperature testing: The device was measured for surface temperatures at various locations over time using different light sources and found to meet requirements specified in IEC 60601-2-18 and IEC 60601-1.
Optical parameter testing: The device was tested for all relevant optical parameters and found to meet the minimum requirements defined in internal specifications and as specified in the ISO 8600 series of standards (field of view, direction of view, diopters, image eccentricity, size of view, and vignetting).
Biocompatibility testing: A series of biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, and acute systemic toxicity, demonstrated that the device components that are in contact with the patient are biocompatible.
Performance testing: Performance testing consisted of measurement of the bonding strength for the Sinuscope distal glass, with comparison to the distal glass bonding strength of the currently marketed predicate device.
Reprocessing
The Schoelly Sinuscope is the subject of completed reprocessing validations including manual cleaning, automated cleaning, steam sterilization, as well as STERRAD® 100S, STERRAD® 100NX and STERRAD® NX sterilization.
Cleaning studies have been performed in accordance with AAMI TIR12:2010 (Designing. Testing and Labeling Reusable Medical Devices for Reprocessing in Health Care Facilities: A
6
Guide for Device Manufacturers), AAMI TIR30:2011 (A compendium of processes, materials, test methods, and acceptance criteria for cleaning reusable devices), and ANSI/AAMI ST15883-1: 2009 (Washer-disinfectors - Part 1 - General requirements, terms, and definitions and tests). Devices that have been used for testing had been undergo multiple reprocessing cycles and surface marring artificially created by scratching with metal tools to simulate end of lifetime use and to address the FDA Draft Guidance Processing Medical Devices in Healthcare Settings (dated: May 2, 2011).
Sterilization studies have been performed in accordance with ISO 14937:2009 (Sterilization of health care products - General requirements for characterization of sterilizing agent and the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices), ANSI/AAMI ST81:2004 (Sterilization of medical devices - Information to be provided by the manufacturer for the processing of resterilizable medical devices), ISO 17664:2004 (Sterilization of medical devices - Information to be provided by the manufacturer for the processing of resterilizable medical devices), and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1:2006 (Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of sterilization process for medical devices).
Conclusion
The Schoelly Sinuscope meets all the pre-determined acceptance criteria of the testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
