Intended Use
The KARL STORZ Slim Nasopharyngoscope System is indicated to provide visualization and access of the nasal lumens and airway anatomy (including nasopharyngeal and trachea) during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in adult and pediatric patients.
Device Description
The KARL STORZ Slim Nasopharyngolaryngoscope (Model Number: 11161V) is a reusable, flexible videoscope used for examination of the nasal lumens and airway anatomy. The KARL STORZ Slim Nasopharyngolaryngoscope System is identical to the KARL STORZ Flexible Video-Neuro-Endoscope System, which is currently distributed under K161112.
More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the device description focuses on a standard videoscope.

No
The device is indicated for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, but the "Device Description" clarifies it is a visualization tool for examination. It does not perform therapeutic actions itself.

Yes
The intended use statement explicitly mentions "diagnostic" procedures, indicating its role in identifying or characterizing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "reusable, flexible videoscope" and mentions a "CMOS chip" as the input imaging modality, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated components, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the KARL STORZ Slim Nasopharyngoscope System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to "provide visualization and access of the nasal lumens and airway anatomy... during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for direct visualization and access, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "reusable, flexible videoscope used for examination of the nasal lumens and airway anatomy." This further reinforces its use for direct examination within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.

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 tool for direct visualization and access within the body.

Dear AnnaLisa Smullin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

• IEC 60601-1-2:2007 (Recognition Number: 19-8)
As the subject device remains identical to the reference device, no
additional electrical safety or EMC data is needed for the KARL
STORZ Slim Nasopharyngolaryngoscope System.

Bench Testing Summary
The device design, including the performance has not changed since
clearance of the reference device, the KARL STORZ Flexible Video-
Neuro-Endoscope System in K161112. The performance data
submitted in K161112 was in compliance with the following FDA
recognized standards:
• ISO 8600-1: Fourth edition: 2015-10-15 (Recognition
Number: 9-110)
• ISO 8600-3: First edition: 1997-07-01 (Recognition Number:
9-84)
• ISO 8600-4: Second edition: 2014-03-15 (Recognition
Number: 9-94)
As the subject device remains identical to the reference device, no
additional performance data is needed for the KARL STORZ Slim
Nasopharyngolaryngoscope System.

Biocompatibility Summary
The device design, including the materials, has not changed since
clearance of the reference device, the KARL STORZ Flexible Video-
Neuro-Endoscope System in K161112.The Biological Evaluation
data submitted in K161112 was in compliance with the following
FDA recognized standards:
• ISO 10993-1:2009/(R) 2013 (Recognition Number: 2-156)
• ISO 10993-5:2009/ (R) 2014 (Recognition Number: 2-153)

| | High Level Disinfection (HLD) Summary |
| | The reference device, the KARL STORZ Flexible Video-Neuro-
Endoscope System (K161112), is a critical device per Spaulding
Classification, whereas the subject device is a semi-critical device,
requiring a thorough cleaning followed by sterilization or high level
disinfection (HLD). In order to support an additional HLD method
(CIDEX), a new HLD validation study was performed using a
representative device. The HLD data submitted was in compliance
with the following FDA standards. Where applicable, FDA standard
recognition numbers are noted:
• AAMI TIR12: 2010
• ISO 15883-5:2005
• AAMI TIR30:2011
• AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11737-1:2006/ (R)2011 (Recognition
Number: 14-227)
• ASTM E1837-96:2014 |
| Clinical
Performance
Data: | Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial
equivalence to the predicate devices. Non-clinical bench testing was
sufficient to establish the substantial equivalence of the
modifications. |
| Conclusion: | The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that
the subject device, KARL STORZ Slim Nasopharyngolaryngoscope
System performs as well as or better than the legally marketed
predicate devices. |
