Intended Use
The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System is intended to provide real-time endoscopic visible and nearinfrared fluorescence imaging. The KARL STORZ ICG Imaging System enables surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery using standard endoscopic visible light as well as visual assessment of vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion, and at least one of the major extra-hepatic bile duct, common bile duct and common hepatic duct), using near-infrared imaging. Fluorescence imaging of biliary ducts with the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System is intended for use with standard of care white light and, when indicated, intraoperative cholangiography. The device is not intended for standalone use for biliary duct visualization.
Device Description
The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System is used to provide real-time high definition (HD) endoscopic video images of visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) indocyanine green (ICG) dye fluorescence during minimally invasive surgery. The system components are rigid ICG Endoscopes for VIS and NIR illumination and imaging, a light source with foot switch for emission of VIS and NIR illumination, a 3 CCD (charge coupled device) color video camera head capable of capturing both VIS and NIR imaging, and KARL STORZ Indocyanine Green (ICG Kit). Additional accessories used with the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System include a standard fiber-optic light cable for transmission of VIS and NIR light and the Image 1 SPIES Camera Control Unit (CCU) cleared in K131953. The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System can be used with any medical grade HD monitor with a DVI-D or 3G-SDI input. The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System is a Class II device under 21 CFR 876.1500.
More Information

No
The summary describes a real-time endoscopic imaging system using visible and near-infrared light with ICG dye. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, image processing beyond basic capture, or any data training/testing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is an imaging system designed to visualize vessels, blood flow, and bile ducts during minimally invasive surgery. It does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition, which is the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is an imaging system used to visualize anatomical structures (vessels, bile ducts) with visible and near-infrared fluorescence, aiding surgeons during minimally invasive procedures. It provides real-time visual assessment but is not described as interpreting or diagnosing conditions based on these images. Its function is to enhance visualization of certain structures by making them fluoresce with ICG, not to provide a diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including rigid endoscopes, a light source, a video camera head, and accessories like a fiber-optic light cable and a Camera Control Unit (CCU). The performance studies also include testing of hardware components like the illumination system and camera system.

Based on the provided information, the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze specimens taken from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this system is used for real-time imaging during minimally invasive surgery, directly visualizing structures within the body (vessels, bile ducts, etc.). It does not involve the analysis of samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside of the body.
  • The system uses imaging modalities (visible light and near-infrared fluorescence) to visualize structures in situ. This is characteristic of imaging devices used during surgical procedures, not IVDs.
  • The device description focuses on the imaging components and their function in capturing light and fluorescence within the body.

Therefore, the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System falls under the category of a surgical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System has been successfully tested for its functions and performance, including verification that the spectral characteristics of the ICG system illumination light source, light transmission system and endoscope enable a selective visualization of the ICG fluorescence signal as detected by the camera system. Furthermore, a GLP animal study was successfully performed by the NAMSA testing facility to evaluate the performance of the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System in the porcine minimally-invasive laparoscopy model. Safety testing was performed including electrical safety IEC 60601-1 and 60601-2-18, electromagnetic compatibility per IEC 60601-1-2, and biocompatibility of the patient contacting materials per ISO 10993. Additional validations were conducted for system software, the manual cleaning method, and the sterilization process.

| Device Description: | The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System is used to
provide real-time high definition (HD) endoscopic video
images of visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) indocyanine
green (ICG) dye fluorescence during minimally invasive
surgery. The system components are rigid ICG Endoscopes
for VIS and NIR illumination and imaging, a light source with
foot switch for emission of VIS and NIR illumination, a 3 CCD
(charge coupled device) color video camera head capable of
capturing both VIS and NIR imaging, and KARL STORZ
Indocyanine Green (ICG Kit). Additional accessories used
with the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System
include a standard fiber-optic light cable for transmission of
VIS and NIR light and the Image 1 SPIES Camera Control
Unit (CCU) cleared in K131953. The KARL STORZ Endoscopic
ICG Imaging System can be used with any medical grade HD

| Technological Comparison Summary: | The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System is
substantially equivalent to the Intuitive Surgical® da Vinci®
Fluorescence Imaging Vision System (K124031) in terms of
its indications for use, design technology and performance
specification.

The differences between the subject and predicate device
are:
The subject device uses a Filtered Xenon Light source
whereas the Predicate (da Vinci) uses a Laser Diode
during NIR Illumination Mode. The subject device projects 2D fluorescence image on
a dichromatic background whereas the predicate
device (da Vinci) projects 3D fluorescence image on a
monochromatic background in NIR Illumination Mode. Bench and comparative testing were used to demonstrate
substantial equivalence to the predicate Intuitive Surgical®
da Vinci® Fluorescence Imaging Vision System, K124031.
Therefore, the differences between the subject device and
the predicate device do not raise any new issues of safety
and effectiveness. |
| Non-Clinical
Performance Data: | The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System has been
successfully tested for its functions and performance,
including verification that the spectral characteristics of the
ICG system illumination light source, light transmission
system and endoscope enable a selective visualization of the
ICG fluorescence signal as detected by the camera system.
Furthermore, a GLP animal study was successfully performed
by the NAMSA testing facility to evaluate the performance of
the KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System in the |

porcine minimally-invasive laparoscopy model. Safety testing was performed including electrical safety IEC 60601-1 and 60601-2-18, electromagnetic compatibility per IEC 60601-1-2, and biocompatibility of the patient contacting materials per ISO 10993. Additional validations were conducted for system software, the manual cleaning method, and the sterilization process.
Clinical Performance Data:Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
Conclusion:The KARL STORZ Endoscopic ICG Imaging System is substantially equivalent to the predicate Intuitive Surgical® da Vinci® Fluorescence Imaging Vision System (K124031) with regards to device design, materials, operational principles, and performance characteristics. The non-clinical testing demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device.
