More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard video endoscopy system and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The focus is on image capture, processing for display/recording, and standard performance/safety testing.

No
The device is described as an endoscopic examination tool for diagnosis, not for providing therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "intended to be used with a medical video monitor for endoscopic examination", which is a diagnostic procedure.

No

The device description explicitly states that the solution includes both a video processor (CP-1000) and a video nasopharyngo-laryngoscope (VNL9-CP), which is a physical hardware component with an insertion tube, LED, fiber optic cables, and a CMOS video sensor. While software is mentioned and validated, it is part of a larger hardware system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "endoscopic examination between the upper respiratory tracts of the nasal passage and the vocal cords." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body to visualize internal structures.
  • Device Description: The device is a videoscope solution that includes a flexible insertion tube with a camera and light source. This is consistent with an endoscopic device used for direct visualization.
  • Lack of mention of in vitro testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body. IVD devices are specifically designed for such testing.

The device is clearly intended for direct visualization within the patient's body, which falls under the category of an endoscopic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
