The EB-1970UK. Ultrasound Video Bronchoscope. is intended to provide optical visualization of, ultrasonic visualization of, and therapeutic access to, the Pulmonary Tract including but not restricted to organs, tissues, and subsystem: Nasal Passage, Pharynx, Trachea, Bronchial Tree (including access beyond the stem), and underlying areas. The instrument is introduced per orally when indications consistent with the requirement for procedure are observed in adult and pediatric patient populations.
Device Description
The EB-1970UK, Ultrasound Video Bronchoscope, must be used with a Pentax Video Processor (a software-controlled device) and must be used with an Ultrasound Scanner (a software-controlled device). The endoscope has a flexible insertion tube, a control body, PVE umbilical connector, and ultrasound scanner umbilical connector. The PVE connector will be attached to the Video Processor and has connections for illumination and video signals. The ultrasound umbilical connector will be attached to the ultrasound scanner unit. The control body includes controls for up/down angulation, suction control, video processor remote control buttons, and ports for manual balloon insufflation/ evacuation and accessory inlet. A sterile, single use disposable natural rubber latex balloon is fitted over the convex array ultrasound transducer prior to the procedure. It is designed to be inflated with a specific volume of water during the procedure so that the effective transport of ultrasonic pulses from the ultrasound transducer to the target anatomical site and back to the ultrasound transducer can take place. The endoscope contains light carrying bundles to illuminate the body cavity, a charge couple device (CCD) to collect endoscopic image data, and a convex array ultrasound transducer to collect ultrasonic image data. The instrument contains a working channel through which biopsy devices, or other devices, may be introduced. The video processor contains a lamp that provides white light focused at the endoscope PVE connector light guide prong. The endoscope light carrying bundles present the light to the body cavity and the CCD collects endoscopic image data and other screen display information are formatted and presented to the video outputs of the video processor for display. The ultrasound transducer delivers ultrasonic pulses, reflections of the pulses are received and the signals are passed to the ultrasound scanner for processing and display. The instrument is immersible (with the use of supplied cleaning accessories).

No
The summary describes a standard ultrasound video bronchoscope system with associated hardware and software for image processing and display. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is intended to provide "optical visualization of, ultrasonic visualization of, and therapeutic access to, the Pulmonary Tract". While it mentions "therapeutic access", the description does not specify any inherent therapeutic function of the device itself. Instead, it describes it as a tool through which "biopsy devices, or other devices, may be introduced", implying that other separate devices would perform any therapeutic actions. The device itself is for visualization and access, not for therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device is an "Ultrasound Video Bronchoscope" specifically designed to provide "optical visualization of, ultrasonic visualization of" the pulmonary tract. It collects both endoscopic and ultrasonic image data, which are then processed and displayed by associated equipment (video processor and ultrasound scanner). The primary purpose of collecting and presenting this visual data is for clinicians to diagnose conditions within the pulmonary tract. The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section highlights its role in allowing observation of "indications consistent with the requirement for procedure," implying a diagnostic step.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components such as a flexible insertion tube, control body, connectors, light carrying bundles, a CCD, and an ultrasound transducer. While it interacts with software-controlled devices (Video Processor and Ultrasound Scanner), the bronchoscope itself is a physical medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Function: The EB-1970UK Ultrasound Video Bronchoscope is an in vivo device. It is introduced directly into the patient's body (Pulmonary Tract) to provide optical and ultrasonic visualization and therapeutic access. It does not examine specimens outside the body.

The device's purpose is to visualize and potentially treat structures within the patient's body, which is the definition of an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic.
