The description focuses on the physical and optical characteristics of a rigid endoscope and does not mention any software, algorithms, or processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that Vesair Cystoscopes are "indicated to provide the user with the means for endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures."
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "Vesair Cystoscopes are indicated to provide the user with the means for endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures." This clearly indicates its use for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description clearly states that the Vesair Cystoscopes are rigid reusable endoscopes made from metal and incorporating fiber optics and rigid lenses. This indicates a physical hardware device, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the Vesair Cystoscope is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures" involving "visualization and manipulation of anatomy." This describes a device used in vivo (within the living body) for direct observation and intervention, not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the living body).
- Device Description: The description details a rigid endoscope for visualizing the operating site during minimally invasive procedures. It transmits light and images from within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Vesair Cystoscope does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.
The device is clearly intended for direct visualization and manipulation within the urinary tract, which is a surgical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Vesair Cystoscopes are indicated to provide the user with the means for endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures. Examples for the devices include the visualization and manipulation of anatomy as the surgeon deems appropriate. Vesair Cystoscopes are intended to be used in general urological surgery through a minimally invasive approach by utilizing natural orifices to access the surgical site.

Device Description
The Vesair Cystoscopes described in this submission are rigid reusable endoscopes for visualization of the operating site during cystoscopic minimally invasive procedures in conjunction with a commercially available light guide, light source, video camera, monitor, and printer. Light that is created by an external light source is transmitted from the endoscope's light guide connector through the endoscope itself to the tip via a fiber optic system. Images are transferred the other way back through a rigid lens system.
Technical parameters of the Vesair Cystoscopes that characterize the optical view are the Direction of View (0°, 30°, 70°) and the Field of View (105°). The image can be displayed by a camera/monitor system which can be connected to the endoscope eyepiece. The Vesair Cystoscopes have the same diameter (4mm), and are available in different lengths of the insertion tube (0° - 280mm length, 30° - 185mm or 278mm length, 70° - 185mm or 281mm length). None of the cystoscope models have a working channel. Like other currently marketed rigid cystoscopes, all models have patient-contacting outer surfaces mainly made from metal (304 stainless steel) and incorporate fiber optics for light transmission and rigid lenses for image transmission.
Each cystoscope model is provided non-sterile and requires cleaning and steam sterilization prior to use and between subsequent uses.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.
(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope.
