Intended Use
The QEVO System with KINEVO 900 is intended for viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures and for use in visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures as well as for viewing internal surgical sites during anterior and posterior spinal procedures, such as nucleotomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy.
Device Description
The subject device is a system used for viewing internal surgical sites during surgical procedures. The system consists of the following components: . QEVO System - QEVO Endoscope Control Unit (ECU) + QEVO endoscope KINEVO 900 surgical microscope . The KINEVO 900 can be operated by the surgeon and surgical assistant as a standard optical surgical microscope, using tubes and evepieces to view the surgical anatomy. When used with the QEVO System, the KINEVO 900 provides the additional capability to view images from the hand-held QEVO endoscope during neurological and spinal procedures. The KINEVO 900 is physically connected (via power cable, HDMI/DVI cable, and Ethernet cable) to the QEVO Endoscope Control Unit (ECU). The QEVO endoscope plugs into the QEVO ECU outlet provided on the KINEVO 900.

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard surgical visualization system with an endoscope and microscope, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as a system for viewing internal surgical sites during procedures, primarily for visualization, not for providing therapy or treatment.

No

The device is described as a system for "viewing internal surgical sites" during procedures and for "visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain." Its primary function is to provide visual information for guidance during surgery, rather than to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components (QEVO Endoscope Control Unit, QEVO endoscope, KINEVO 900 surgical microscope, cables) and the performance studies include testing of physical attributes like sterilization, biocompatibility, optical safety, thermal safety, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility. This indicates it is a hardware-based system with associated software, not a software-only device.

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 device is for "viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures" and for "visualization of ventricles and structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures as well as for viewing internal surgical sites during anterior and posterior spinal procedures". This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to aid the surgeon's visualization.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a system for "viewing internal surgical sites during surgical procedures" and consists of an endoscope and a surgical microscope.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An In Vitro Diagnostic device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis on specimens. It is a tool for direct visualization within the body during surgery.

Therefore, the QEVO System with KINEVO 900 is a surgical visualization system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
