No
The device description focuses on the physical components and optical system of a rigid laparoscope, with no mention of software, image processing, or AI/ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is indicated for "to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures," which includes therapeutic applications.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "indicated for examination of body cavities, hollow organs," which is a diagnostic procedure. It also mentions using additional accessories "to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures."
No
The device description clearly states the Schoelly Laparoscope is a rigid reusable endoscope made mainly from metal (304 stainless steel) and comprises fiber optics and rigid rod-lenses, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the Schoelly Laparoscope is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "examination of body cavities, hollow organs, and using additional accessories, to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures." This involves direct visualization and intervention within the body, not testing samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a "rigid reusable endoscope for visualization of body cavities." It works by transmitting light into the body and images back out. This is a tool for direct observation and manipulation, not for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices typically involve the analysis of biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. The Schoelly Laparoscope does not perform this function.
The device is clearly described as a surgical/diagnostic instrument used for direct visualization and procedures within the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The Schoelly Laparoscope is a rigid reusable endoscope for visualization of body cavities used in conjunction with a commercially available and approved light guide, light source, video camera, monitor, and printer. Light guide, 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.
Light that is created by an external light source is transmitted from the laparoscope light guide connector through the laparoscope itself to the tip via a fiber optic system. Images are transferred the other way back through a rigid rod lens system.
Schoelly Laparoscopes 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).
Like other currently marketed laparoscopes, the proposed device has outer surfaces mainly made from metal (304 stainless steel) and further comprise fiber optics for light transmission and rigid rod-lenses for image transmission.
The Schoelly Laparoscope is delivered in a non-sterile condition and is already CE marked.
The Schoelly Laparoscope is indicated for examination of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals, and using additional accessories, to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

§ 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.

Device Description
The Schoelly Laparoscope is a rigid reusable endoscope for visualization of body cavities used in conjunction with a commercially available and approved light guide, light source, video camera, monitor, and printer. Light guide, 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 Laparoscopes 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).
Like other currently marketed laparoscopes, the proposed device has outer surfaces mainly made from metal (304 stainless steel) and further comprise fiber optics for light transmission and rigid rod-lenses for image transmission.
The Schoelly Laparoscope is delivered in a non-sterile condition and is already CE marked.
Indications for Use
The Schoelly Laparoscope is indicated for examination of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals, and using additional accessories, to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Predicate Device
The predicate device is identical to the proposed device with the same device specifications and design, the same indications for use, and the same fundamental scientific technology. The changes described in this submission are limited to a change of device materials and the addition of new device configurations that differ with respect to geometric dimensions of the endoscope insertion tube as compared to the predicate device that was cleared for marketing by FDA in K992437. These changes do not in any way alter the device indications for use, or the fundamental scientific technology upon which the device is based.
Performance Testing
This 510(k) contains a summary of the biocompatibility testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization and acute systemic toxicity).
Conclusion
The proposed modification to the Schoelly Laparoscope has met all predetermined acceptance criteria as specified by applicable standards, test protocols, and/or customer inputs and does not introduce new patient or user risks. The device with the changed material and additional dimensional configurations is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
