Intended Use
The PENTAX Medical Video Bronchoscopes EB-J10 Series have been designed to be used with a PENTAX Video Processor (including Light source), documentation equipment, video monitor, endo-therapy accessories (such as biopsy forceps) and other ancillary equipment for endoscopic surgery within the airways and tracheobronchial tree.
Device Description
The EB-J10 series endoscopes are used to provide visualization of, and therapeutic access to, the airways and tracheobronchial tree. There are two models of EB-J10 series: EB15-J10 and EB19-J10. These models are identical in all parameters and only differ in French size: 15 and 19. The bronchoscopes are used with cleared PENTAX Video Processors (a softwarecontrolled device). The endoscopes have a flexible insertion tube, a control body, and PVE connector. The PVE connector will be attached to the Video Processor and has connections for illumination, video signals, air/ water and suction. The control body includes controls for up/ down angulation, air/ water delivery, and an accessory inlet port. The endoscope contains light carrying bundles (LCB) to illuminate the body cavity, and a charge coupled device (CCD) to collect endoscopic 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 and is focused at the PVE connector light guide prong. The endoscope light carrying bundles present the light to the body cavity and the CCD collects endoscopic image data. Image data and other screen display information are formatted and presented to the video outputs of the video processor for display. The instrument is immersible (with the use of supplied cleaning accessories) as described in the endoscope reprocessing instructions.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard video bronchoscope and video processor. While the processor includes "digital, post-processing imaging enhancement technology" (PENTAX i-Scan), this is not explicitly stated or implied to be AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

Yes
The device description states that the EB-J10 series endoscopes provide "therapeutic access to, the airways and tracheobronchial tree" and have a "working channel through which biopsy devices, or other devices, may be introduced." This indicates that it facilitates therapeutic interventions.

Yes

The device provides visualization of the airways and tracheobronchial tree, allowing medical professionals to observe the internal structures for diagnosis. The mention of "therapeutic access" suggests it can also be used for treatment, but its primary function as described involves visualization, which is a key aspect of diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components including a flexible insertion tube, control body, PVE connector, light carrying bundles, CCD, and a working channel. While it is used with a software-controlled video processor, 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:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "endoscopic surgery within the airways and tracheobronchial tree" and for "visualization of, and therapeutic access to, the airways and tracheobronchial tree." This describes a device used in vivo (within the living body) for direct visualization and intervention.
  • Device Description: The description details a flexible insertion tube, control body, and connections for light, video signals, air/water, and suction. It also mentions a working channel for introducing biopsy devices or other devices. These are all characteristics of an endoscopic device used for direct examination and procedures within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device does not collect or analyze specimens in vitro. It provides direct visualization and access in vivo.

While the device does involve image processing and visualization, this is for the purpose of guiding the endoscopic procedure in vivo, not for analyzing specimens in vitro.
