The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical cleaning and environmental simulation, with no mention of image processing, AI, or ML.
No
The device is described as a laparoscopic lens cleaning device intended to remove visual obstructions from the distal lens of a laparoscope during surgery. Its purpose is to maintain a clear image of the surgical site, not to treat or diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device is designed to clean the lens of a laparoscope to maintain a clear image during surgery, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a reusable control unit and disposable accessories, indicating hardware components are integral to its function.
Based on the provided information, the OpClear® System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to remove visual obstructions from a laparoscope lens during surgery to maintain a clear image of the surgical site. This is a mechanical action performed on a surgical instrument, not a test performed on a biological sample to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a laparoscopic lens cleaning device used during surgical procedures.
- Lack of Diagnostic Information: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic results, or being used to identify diseases or conditions.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used within the peritoneal cavity, but its function is to clean the lens, not to interact with or analyze tissues or fluids for diagnostic purposes.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The OpClear® System does not fit this description.

OpClear® System is for professional use in a theatre environment, during all Laparoscopic procedures. It is suitable for use in all adult patients who have been selected by their physician / surgeon for laparoscopic surgery using 10mm laparoscopes of a compatible length / type.

Indications for use:
The OpClear® System consists of a reusable control unit and a range of disposable sterile single-use accessories intended to remove visual obstructions such as condensation, blood and other tissue particulates from the distal lens of a laparoscope during surgery and therefore maintaining a clear image of the surgical site.
Operating Principle:
During MIS, the laparoscope lens window is the surgeon's eyes and it can become covered in body fluids: peritoneal fluid, blood, and fat as well as tissue particulate or condensation impairing the surgeon's vision (via an external monitor/screen). Traditionally, cleaning the lens window of the laparoscope as a result of soiling required its removal of the laparoscope from the patient's abdomen which results in increased risk of infection, increased surgical duration, compromised surgeon workflow and compromised vision.
The OpClear® System uses carefully controlled timed flows of CO2 and saline delivered to the lens surface to maintain a clear vision and remove/reduce the need to remove the laparoscope during a surgical procedure.
OpClear® Control Unit
The OpClear® Control Unit is a mains powered medical device which is connected to the electrical mains supply and to either a CO2 bottle or CO2 wall supply.
It supplies, on demand, CO2 to the distal lens of the laparoscope (via the OpClear® Disposable) and CO2 to operate the plunger of the sterile disposable wash cartridge.
The surgeon makes the selection of either demist function or wash function by operating a pneumatic foot switch control as and when required. Full details of the operation of the device are given in the instructions for use.
6
OpClear® Disposable
The OpClear® Disposable is a sterile, invasive, single use accessory to the OpClear® control unit, which is fitted to a compatible laparoscope immediately prior to the start of the surgical procedure. The disposable directs the CO2 and saline directly to the distal lens of the laparoscope in response to the surgeon's requirements. The CO2 supply from the control unit is used to propel the plunger of the refillable 0.9% saline cartridge (which forms part of the disposable) and deliver the saline at the desired time and position.
Materials:
OpClear® Control Unit
The OpClear® control unit consists of a painted aluminium enclosure containing a power supply, control circuitry and an anodised aluminium manifold which supplies CO2.
OpClear® Disposable
The OpClear® disposable consists of a co-polyester moulding which is bonded to the extruded PVC CO2 and saline supply tubes. The wash cartridge is formed of a polypropylene barrel with a polyethylene piston.
The co-polyester moulding is the only invasive part of the disposable.
OpClear® Control Unit Specifications:
