Intended Use
The PORTAGE System is indicated for visualization of the surgical field in any area of the body cut open during a surgical procedure. When used in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine either from an anterior or posterior direction, for example, the PORTAGE Endoscope and accessories are intended to aid the surgeon's visualization of the surgical area and allow him/her to perform any type of surgical spinal procedure such as herniated disc repair, visualization of the circumferential decompression of the nerve roots, aiding in the search and removal of nucleus material, spinal fusion, or insertion of spinal implants. Other examples of generic surgical use of the PORTAGE System would be for use in the knee, ankle, shoulder, hand, wrist, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Device Description
The PORTAGE System is comprised of an endoscope and manual athroscopic instruments. The PORTAGE Endoscope is a reusable rigid endoscope, comprised of a fiber optic cable and sensitive image transmission system with eyepiece. The PORTAGE Endoscope is used for visualization of the surgical field during arthroscopic or spinal procedures and may be used in conjunction with a separately cleared and commercially available light quide, light source, video camera, monitor and printer. Light that is created by the external light source is transmitted from the PORTAGE Endoscope light quide connector through the endoscope itself to the tip via a fiber optic system. Images are transferred the other way back through a rigid rod lens system. The subject endoscope is manufactured in a 90° short confiquration and is used with a compatible bracket. The PORTAGE Endoscope is supplied non-sterile. The PORTAGE System accessories are manual instruments that include retractors, dilators, rongeurs, forceps, suture passers, cutters, pushers, probes, curettes and gouges. They enable the physician to perform any type of surgical spinal procedure. The manual instruments are either single-use and supplied sterile, or reusable and supplied non-sterile. The reusable PORTAGE System components have undergone complete reprocessing validations, including manual cleaning and steam sterilization.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the physical components of a rigid endoscope and manual surgical instruments. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing beyond basic visualization, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies described are focused on physical characteristics and usability, not algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is indicated for visualization of the surgical field and aiding in surgical procedures, not for providing therapy.

No

The device is used for visualization of the surgical field to aid in performing surgical procedures, not for identifying the presence or absence of a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the PORTAGE System is comprised of an endoscope and manual arthroscopic instruments, which are physical hardware components. It also mentions reprocessing validations for reusable components, further indicating a hardware-based device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • PORTAGE System Function: The PORTAGE System is used for visualization of the surgical field directly within the patient's body during surgical procedures. It is an endoscopic system and associated surgical instruments.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the analysis of any biological specimens outside of the body. The system's purpose is to provide visual access to the surgical site.

Therefore, the PORTAGE System falls under the category of surgical instruments and visualization tools used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in glass/outside the body).

Other examples of generic surgical use of the PORTAGE System would be for use in the knee, ankle, shoulder, hand, wrist, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Device Description

The PORTAGE System is comprised of an endoscope and manual athroscopic instruments.

The PORTAGE Endoscope is a reusable rigid endoscope, comprised of a fiber optic cable and sensitive image transmission system with eyepiece. The PORTAGE Endoscope is used for visualization of the surgical field during arthroscopic or spinal procedures and may be used in conjunction with a separately cleared and commercially available light quide, light source, video camera, monitor and printer. Light that is created by the external light source is transmitted from the PORTAGE Endoscope light quide connector through the endoscope itself to the tip via a fiber optic system. Images are transferred the other way back through a rigid rod lens system. The subject endoscope is manufactured in a 90° short confiquration and is used with a compatible bracket. The PORTAGE Endoscope is supplied non-sterile.

The PORTAGE System accessories are manual instruments that include retractors, dilators, rongeurs, forceps, suture passers, cutters, pushers, probes, curettes and gouges. They enable the physician to perform any type of surgical spinal procedure. The manual instruments are either single-use and supplied sterile, or reusable and supplied non-sterile.

The reusable PORTAGE System components have undergone complete reprocessing validations, including manual cleaning and steam sterilization.

Comparison to Predicate Device

The indications for use of the PORTAGE System are identical to that of the predicate METRx System (K002931). The subject and predicate devices also share the same fundamental technology and key device characteristics, including principles of light and image transmission and connection to external components. Like the predicate METRx System, the PORTAGE Endoscope is manufactured in a 90° short configuration and used in conjunction with an endoscope bracket (Table 7.1). Differences in design and technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise any new types of questions of safety and effectiveness. The results of verification and validation testing provide reasonable assurance of substantial equivalence of the PORTAGE System to its predicate device.

Performance Testing

Performance testing has been completed for the PORTAGE System to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate METRx System (K002931). As applicable, the system components have been subjected to the following verification and validation testing: general performance including endoscope field and direction of view, diopters, eccentricity, size of view, and vignetting, biocompatibility, system compatibility and usability. All test requirements were met as specified by applicable standards and the test protocols.

Conclusions

The subject PORTAGE System and predicate METRx System (K002931) share the same intended use and indications for use. Furthermore, the subject and predicate devices share the same fundamental technology and key device characteristics.

The results of verification testing demonstrate that the subject device meets its predetermined design criteria with respect to general performance aspects, including endoscope field and direction of view, diopters, eccentricity, size of view, and vignetting and biocompatibility requirements. The results of bench top validation testing demonstrate that the PORTAGE System specifications adequately meet user needs and intended uses and usability requirements. Differences in design and technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. The results of testing demonstrate the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate METRx System (K002931) when used for its intended purpose and provide reasonable assurance of the substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device.
