Intended Use
The system is intended for viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures, visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures, viewing internal surgical sites during anterior and posterior spinal procedures, such as nucleotomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy, and shoulder and large joint arthroscopic procedures.
Device Description
The VS3 ETV endoscope is the same endoscope as the predicate VS3 with the addition of 3 working channels. The endoscope is designed and manufactured the same way. The endoscope is a rigid metal shaft that uses a proximal sensor module which is mounted onto a camera block on the proximal side of the endoscope (the handle). The endoscope uses stereoscopic images which are transmitted from the visual field at the distal end of the scope through an optical transmission (for left and right channels). The endoscope camera sensor module picks up the left and right images of the scene inside the body and delivers them to the external display. The endoscope incorporates fiber optic threads that transfer the light from the illumination unit to the surgical scene. The VS3 ETV endoscope contains 3 working channels. The endoscope utilizes the same principle of operation, software, system architecture, camera and visual viewing technologies, illumination sources, display monitors, carts, CCU and couplers as the predicate VS3.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical design, optical transmission, and working channels of the endoscope. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data analysis beyond transmitting stereoscopic images to an external display.

No
The device is described as an endoscope intended for viewing internal surgical sites and does not perform any therapeutic function.

No

The device is described as an endoscope intended for viewing internal surgical sites during surgical procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly details a rigid metal shaft, a proximal sensor module, optical transmission, fiber optic threads, and working channels, all of which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the system is for viewing internal surgical sites during various surgical procedures. This is a direct visualization tool used during a medical procedure on a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a rigid endoscope with optical transmission and working channels. This aligns with a surgical instrument used for direct observation within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on the analysis of biological samples.
    • Performing tests in vitro (outside the living body).

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical visualization tool used in vivo (within the living body).

Predicate Device

VS3 Stereoscopic High Definition Vision System, Model VS3 (K141002)

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The system is intended for viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures, visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures, viewing internal surgical sites during anterior and posterior spinal procedures, such as nucleotomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy, and shoulder and large joint arthroscopic procedures.

Principles of Operation / Conditions of Use

The VS3 ETV endoscope is the same endoscope as the predicate VS3 with the addition of 3 working channels. The endoscope is designed and manufactured the same way. The endoscope is a rigid metal shaft that uses a proximal sensor module which is mounted onto a camera block on the proximal side of the endoscope (the handle). The endoscope uses stereoscopic images which are transmitted from the visual field at the distal end of the scope through an optical transmission (for left and right channels). The endoscope camera sensor module picks up the left and right images of the scene inside the body and delivers them to the external display. The endoscope incorporates fiber optic threads that transfer the light from the illumination unit to the surgical scene. The VS3 ETV endoscope contains 3 working channels. The endoscope utilizes the same principle of operation, software, system architecture, camera and visual viewing technologies, illumination sources, display monitors, carts, CCU and couplers as the predicate VS3.

Substantial Equivalence

Working/Irrigation Channels Reference Device

K983365 (Aesculap Minop System) cleared December 1998 is used as reference device to show precedence of the irrigation and working channels.

Conclusions

The VS3-ETV is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Performance testing demonstrates that the modified device performs substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and any differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety or efficacy compared to the predicate device.
