Intended Use
This instrument has been designed to be used with an Olympus endoscope to retrieve foreign bodies or resected tissue from the nasal lumens and airway anatomy (including nasopharynx and trachea). This instrument has been designed to be used with an Olympus endoscope to retrieve foreign bodies or resected tissue from the airways and tracheobronchial tree.
Device Description
The subject device is single-use grasping forceps sterilized by Ethylene Oxide. The subject device consists of the Handle and the Insertion portion. The Insertion portion consists of the Distal end and the Sheath portion. The Handle consists of the Body and the Slider. The subject device, after inserted into an endoscope from the Distal end, is used to grasp a foreign body or resected tissue with a pair of forceps (the Grasping jaws) at the Distal end by operating the Handle. The foreign body or the resected tissue is retrieved by removing the subject device together with the endoscope from the patient.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and biocompatibility, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No

The device is designed to retrieve foreign bodies or resected tissue, which is a diagnostic or interventional procedure, not a therapeutic treatment.

No

Explanation: The device is described as grasping forceps used to retrieve foreign bodies or resected tissue. Its intended use is mechanical removal, not diagnostic assessment like imaging, chemical analysis, or physiological measurement.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (Handle, Insertion portion, Distal end, Sheath portion, Body, Slider, Grasping jaws) and describes a mechanical action (operating the Handle to grasp). This indicates a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to physically retrieve foreign bodies or resected tissue from the nasal lumens and airway anatomy. This is a mechanical action performed in vivo (within the body), not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a sample to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as grasping forceps, a tool for physically manipulating objects. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on biological or chemical tests.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical or endoscopic accessory used for retrieval, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Sheri Musgnung:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

1

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
