The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics, reprocessing, and sterilization of rigid endoscopes and their sterilization tray. There is no mention of any software, image analysis, or algorithmic processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device is an endoscope intended for surgical imaging and observation, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is an endoscope intended for surgical imaging during procedures, not for diagnosing conditions. Its purpose is to provide visualization during surgery, acting as a surgical tool rather than a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details physical hardware components: rigid rod lens endoscopes, sterilization trays, and light port adapters. The performance studies focus on cleaning, sterilization, and biocompatibility of these physical components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, the Sharpsite™ AC Rigid Endoscope and Sharpsite™ AC Sterilization Tray are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use of the endoscope is for surgical imaging in vivo (within the body) during otolaryngology and Head and Neck procedures. The sterilization tray is for holding and sterilizing the endoscope. Neither device is intended for the examination of specimens derived from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description clearly states the endoscope is a rigid rod inserted into a body orifice for visualization. This is an in vivo application.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, calibrators, or controls, which are typical components or uses of IVD devices.
Therefore, these devices fall under the category of surgical instruments used for visualization during procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

The endoscopes are provided non-sterile and can be reused by multiple methods as mentioned in the IFU. Each Sharpsite™ endoscope is fitted with a commercially available removable light port adapter for use with different manufacturers light cables. The Endoscrub sheath, removable light port adapter and light cables are not in the scope of this 510(k).
The Sharpsite™ AC Rigid Endoscopes are manufactured in multiple configurations that differ in insertion tube outer diameter and optical parameters.
Sharpsite™ AC Endoscopic sterilization tray is a container which is a reusable device that includes a base and lid. It is a single level thermoplastic instrument case designed to hold Sharpsite™ AC Rigid Endoscopes. The Sharpsite™ tray is specifically configured to organize, store, protect, transport and sterilize Sharpsite™ AC Rigid Endoscopes for use in surgical procedures.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Cleaning and Sterilization validations of the endoscopes in the Sterilization tray were completed to ensure the functionality after worst case cleaning and sterilization testing. Reprocessing and sterilization validation testing of the endoscope met all acceptance criteria and has demonstrated a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10-6 for sterilization via steam, Ethylene Oxide (EO), STERRAD 100S and STERRAD NX sterilization. Biocompatibility assessment was also conducted to establish the safety and effectiveness of the endoscopes. Biocompatibility assessment included cytotoxicity, irritation and sensitization, and acute systemic toxicity in accordance with ISO 10993-1. Additional bench, animal or clinical testing was not required to establish substantial equivalence. All tests were successfully completed with passing results.
