The SPIWay® Endonasal Access Guide is indicated for use in endoscopic sphenoid sinus and transsphenoidal surgery.
Device Description
The SPIWay®Endonasal Access Guide is a temporary working channel sheath for use in endoscopic sphenoid sinus and transsphenoidal surgery. The device consists of a single piece of thermoplastic polymer with a low friction coating, which creates a working channel sheath in the natural orifice of the nose to facilitate visualization of the surgical site and smooth manipulation of introduced instruments during transnasal endoscopic surgery. The shape of the SPIWay Endonasal Access Guide contains a flared portion at the proximal end of the device which remains outside the nasal passage and a conical body that sits within the nasal cavity. The flared proximal end and conical body act to anchor the device, preventing migration once inserted and allow simple removal. The device has an elliptical shape, and the major axis of the ellipse is oriented vertically with the nostril. The device is supplied in several lengths that are selected based upon the surgeon's needs. It is provided sterile and for single use in a pack of two, one for each nostril. A pair of devices is sealed in a Tyvek pouch and 5 pouches are placed into a labeled carton.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical function of a surgical guide, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a "temporary working channel sheath" to facilitate surgical procedures, not to treat or diagnose a disease or condition. Its function is to provide access and aid visualization, which are supportive roles in surgery rather than therapeutic.

No
The device description indicates it is a temporary working channel sheath to facilitate visualization and instrument manipulation during surgery, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical object made of thermoplastic polymer, designed to be inserted into the nasal cavity. It is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • SPIWay® Endonasal Access Guide Function: The description clearly states that the SPIWay® Endonasal Access Guide is a temporary working channel sheath used during surgical procedures (endoscopic sphenoid sinus and transsphenoidal surgery). It facilitates visualization and instrument manipulation within the body, not the analysis of specimens outside the body.

The device is a surgical accessory, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.
