Intended Use
KONIX Anti-Fog solution is a sterile, disposable, functional, anti-fog solution. The antifog solution is intended to be used prior to and during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures to prevent fogging of the scope lens. KONIX Antifog Solution is used to prevent the lenses of the imaging device from fogging due to the difference in body temperature before and during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures.
Device Description
Konix Anti-Fog Solution is a single-use, sterile, and biocompatible laparoscopic accessory device. The product is released to the market as sterile and disposable with one polyurethane foam pad in a 6 ml polyethylene bottle. Secondary packaging is composed of PET film and Medical Kraft Sealing Paper. Konix Anti-Fog Solution is intended to be used to prevent the lenses of the imaging device from fogging due to the difference in body temperature before and during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. The mechanism of defogging or anti-fogging action of Konix Anti-Fog Solution, works by physically changing the water droplets that form on the lens surface from round droplets, to a flat transparent sheet of water, a phenomenon known as 'wetting'.

No
The device is a chemical solution and foam pad for preventing lens fogging, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing.

No.
The device is used to prevent fogging of imaging equipment, not to treat a medical condition or provide therapy to a patient.

No

Explanation: The device is an anti-fog solution used to prevent lenses from fogging during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. Its function is to improve visibility for the imaging device, not to diagnose any medical conditions or interpret medical data.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single-use, sterile, and biocompatible laparoscopic accessory device" and includes physical components like a bottle and foam pad. It is a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Konix Anti-Fog solution is applied to the lens of an imaging device (endoscope/laparoscope) to prevent fogging during surgical procedures. It does not interact with or analyze samples from the human body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for preventing fogging of the scope lens during procedures, not for diagnosing or analyzing patient samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties and application of the solution to the lens.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies evaluate biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life, and fog resistance – all related to the device's function as an anti-fog agent for the scope, not its ability to diagnose or analyze patient samples.

Therefore, the Konix Anti-Fog solution is a medical device used to facilitate imaging during procedures, but it does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

B. Sterilization Validation and Shelf Life Study

The product is designed to perform gamma-radiation sterilization prior to place into the market, therefore the following studies should be evaluated by the applicable standards/guidance.

a. Gamma-Radiation Sterilization Validation Study

The gamma-radiation sterilization study was performed per the requirements of the FDA recognized consensus standards listed below.

  • ISO 11137-2:2013 Sterilization of Health Care Products - Radiation - Part 2: Establishing the Sterilization Dose

  • ISO 11737-1:2018 Sterilization of Medical Devices - Microbiological Methods - Part 1:Determination of A Population of Microorganisms on Products

  • ISO 11737-2:2019 Sterilization of Medical Devices - Microbiological Methods - Part 2: Tests of Sterility Performed in The Definition, Validation And Maintenance Of A Sterilization Process

The method used for gamma-radiation validation study was ISO11137-2 Method 1 multiple production batches (7.2), since the product bioburden was less than 1 CFU/sample. The test reports showed that the product can become sterile when the routine sterilization parameter was controlled at the dose of no less than 13,9 kGy, which meets the regulatory requirement of sterile condition (SAL
