The document describes a standard endoscopic visualization system with image processing capabilities, but there is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis, interpretation, or other functions.
No.
The device is indicated for visualization and illumination during diagnostic and operative procedures, not for directly treating a disease or condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is used "in diagnostic and operative arthroscopic and endoscopic procedures," indicating its involvement in the diagnostic process.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as an Image Capture Box, Camera Handpiece (including an LED light source), and External Power Supply.
Based on the provided information, the NeedleCam HD™ Visualization System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body. The NeedleCam HD™ Visualization System is used to visualize the interior of the body in situ (in its original place).
- The intended use clearly states it's for providing illumination and visualization of an interior cavity of the body through a natural or surgical opening. This is a direct visualization tool used during surgical and diagnostic procedures on the patient.
- The device description reinforces this by explaining it's used with an endoscope to visualize and illuminate an interior cavity of the body.
Therefore, the NeedleCam HD™ Visualization System falls under the category of a surgical/endoscopic visualization system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Technologies
The technological characteristics of the Bio Vision NeedleCam HD™ Visualization System are similar to its predicate device - BioVision SurgView™ Visualization System (K082293). The indications and contraindications listed in this submission are in congruence between these devices. The modifications are incremental changes to the predicate image capture box and camera handpiece that do not affect safety and effectiveness of the modified device. The modifications are the following:
-
- Update the image capture box to the current standard USB storage device;
-
- Update the existing video format to the current digital format.
-
- The camera handpiece has been upgraded with an LED light source.
We believe these modifications are eligible for the Special 510 (k) process since they have the same fundamental scientific technology and intended use as the predicate device.
Performance Testing
Establishment of equivalence is based on similarities of intended use, design, physical characteristics and geometry between the BioVision NeedleCam HD™ Visualization System and its predicate device -BioVision SurgView™ Visualization System (K082293).
Safety testing was completed to ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1:2005 (3™ edition) on the BioVision NeedleCam HD™ Visualization System. Additionally software validation was completed on the system.
Clinical Testing
Clinical testing was not used to prove substantial equivalence. Establishment of equivalence is based on similarities of intended use, design, physical characteristics and geometry between the BioVision Needle Cam HD and its predicate device.
Conclusion
Based on the evaluation of the performance characteristics, construction, manufacturing processes, and indications of use, Bio Vision Technologies has concluded that the BioVision Needle Cam HD™ Visualization System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device listed above. In all cases, the characteristics of this device are identical or similar to the predicate device as they relate to the intended uses or application. BioVision Technologies has also determined that the modification is an incremental change to the existing device that does not affect safety and effectiveness of the device.
