Intended Use
The Aurora Surgiscope System is intended for use in endoscopic neurosurgery and pure neuroendoscopy (i.e. ventriculoscopy) for visualization, diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures such as ventriculostomies, biopsies and removal of cysts, tumors and other obstructions.
Device Description
The Aurora Surgiscope System consists of two components: (1) a sterile, single use, neurological endoscope and (2) a non-sterile, reusable control unit, Image Control Box (ICB). The Aurora Surgiscope includes the following components: - Sheath - Camera - LED (Light Emitting Diodes) - Sheath Cable - Obturator The Sheath is fabricated from ABS plastic and is cylindrically shaped. It acts as both the insertion portion and instrument channel of the endoscope. Depth markers are located on both sides of the Sheath in 1 cm increments to aid with device insertion. LEDs are embedded into the interior wall of the Sheath that provide illumination of the surgical field. A larger diameter plastic ring, Camera mount (or Fixation ring), is located at the proximal end of the Sheath and may be used with fixation arm(s) to hold/fix the device. The Camera assembly is rigidly attached to the Camera Mount and positioned to produce a forward view (0° direction) of the surgical site. An optical lens and prism are also incorporated for imaging. The Surgiscope electronics are connected to the ICB by a flexible shielded Sheath Cable. The cable exits from the rear of the Camera housing and is connected to the ICB during system set-up. The Obturator is pre-loaded into the Sheath. Its distal tip is fabricated from clear plastic and is conical shaped to minimize injury to tissue during insertion. At the proximal end, a plastic handle is used for removal of the Obturator from the Sheath and has an attachment on the handle to secure stereotactic instruments for neuronavigation. A stainless steel tube connects the Obturator tip and handle. The Image Control Box (ICB) controls the real-time video image that it receives from the camera on the Surgiscope. It also delivers the real-time video to an external Display Monitor and provides isolated power to the Surgiscope LEDs and camera. The ICB is supplied with two cables: an isolated 110V power cable to be connected to an AC electrical outlet and a cable which is to be connected to the Display Monitor in the operating room. The user interface is a membrane keypad with buttons that can be depressed for image adjustment, such as zoom, contrast, brightness, and orientation. The connections to the Surgiscope, Display Monitor and Power are the side of the ICB as well as the ON/OFF switch.

No
The description focuses on basic image processing (zoom, contrast, brightness, orientation) and hardware components. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, algorithms for image analysis beyond basic adjustments, or training/test data sets.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended for "therapeutic procedures such as ventriculostomies, biopsies and removal of cysts, tumors and other obstructions."

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is intended for "visualization, diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures".

No

The device description clearly outlines both hardware components (endoscope, sheath, camera, LEDs, obturator, Image Control Box) and software/image processing capabilities. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the system is for "endoscopic neurosurgery and pure neuroendoscopy... for visualization, diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures". This describes a device used within the body for direct observation and intervention, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details components like a sheath, camera, LEDs, and an obturator, all designed for insertion into the body for visualization and surgical procedures. There are no components related to collecting or analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the living body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such function.

The device is an endoscopic system used for surgical procedures and visualization within the neurological system.
