Intended Use
The Image 1 S is a camera control unit (CCU) for use with camera heads or video endoscopes for the visualization, image recording and documentation during general endoscopic and microscopic procedures. The Image 1 S 4U camera head is intended to the Image1 S Camera Control Unit (CCU) and compatible endoscope for visualization, image recording and documentation during general endoscopic and microscopic procedure.
Device Description
The Image1 S camera control unit is a medical device which consists of the Image1 S Connect (TC200US), Image1 S Connect II (TC201US) modules and the link modules. The link modules are Image1 S H3-Link (TC300US), Image1 S X-Link (TC301US), Image1 S D3-Link (TC302US) and Image1 S 4U-Link (TC304US). The Image1 S Connect (TC200US) and the Image1 S Connect II (TC201US) modules can be connected to a minimum of one and a maximum of three links modules. The modularity enables customers to customize their Image1 S system to their specific current and future video needs. The Image1 S includes, but not limited to, the following features: • Brightness control • Enhancement Control • Automatic Light Source Control • Shutter Control • Image/Video Capture When the Image1 S Connect II module is used with the 4U-Link and the Image1 S 4U camera head, it can output a 4K image to the monitor and also offers 7 increments of zoom ranging from 1x to 2.5x. The software version of the Image1 S camera control is upgraded to version 4.0. Software version 4.0 introduces the KS HIVE, an Ethernet based interface that allows for communication between the Image 1 S camera control unit and certain KARL STORZ devices.
More Information

No
The document describes a camera control unit with standard image processing features and connectivity, but there is no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is described as a camera control unit and camera head for visualization, image recording, and documentation during endoscopic and microscopic procedures. It does not exert any direct therapeutic effect on the patient.

No

This device is described as a camera control unit (CCU) for visualization, image recording, and documentation during endoscopic and microscopic procedures. It processes images for viewing and recording but does not interpret or analyze them to provide a medical diagnosis on its own.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "medical device which consists of the Image1 S Connect (TC200US), Image1 S Connect II (TC201US) modules and the link modules," which are physical hardware components. The software is an upgrade to the control unit, not the entirety of the 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 the device is for "visualization, image recording and documentation during general endoscopic and microscopic procedures." This describes a device used for direct observation and recording of internal or microscopic structures within the body, not for testing samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the components and features related to capturing and processing images from camera heads and endoscopes. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing diagnostic tests on them.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input modalities are "Endoscopic and microscopic procedures," which are in-vivo (within the living body) or ex-vivo (outside the living body, but still direct observation of tissue or structures) procedures, not in-vitro (in glass or in a test tube) diagnostic tests.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Alita McElroy:

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.

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

1

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.

Data: | Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the substantial
equivalence to the predicate devices. Non-clinical bench testing was
sufficient to establish the substantial equivalence of the modifications. |
| Substantial
Equivalence: | The conclusions drawn from the cleaning and sterilization, software,
electrical safety and EMC as well as bench top performance tests
demonstrated that the subject device is as safe and as effective as the
predicate device. |
| | As such, we concluded that the substantial equivalence of the subject
and the predicate device has been met, and the differences between the
subject and predicate do not raise new questions of safety and
effectiveness. |
