No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and operation, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data analysis.
Yes
The device is indicated for "endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures," meaning it is used to treat or manage a disease or condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the devices are "indicated to provide the user with the means for endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures."
No
The device description clearly details physical components made of stainless steel, including rigid endoscopes, sheaths, obturators, instrument bridges, grasping forceps, and scissors, all designed for mechanical operation and insertion into the body. There is no mention of software as a component of the device itself.
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 devices are for "endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures" involving "visualization and manipulation of anatomy." This describes a surgical tool used in vivo (within the body) for direct observation and intervention.
- Device Description: The description details rigid endoscopes, sheaths, obturators, instrument bridges, and accessories like optical grasping forceps and scissors. These are all instruments used for accessing and manipulating tissue within the body during a procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens outside the body.
The device is a surgical instrument used for minimally invasive procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope and Accessories comprise several models of rigid endoscopes as well as rigid endoscopic sheaths, obturators, and instrument bridges; the currently marketed system also includes a flexible grasping forceps. This Premarket Notification adds two rigid cystoscope/hysteroscope accessories (optical scissors and optical grasping forceps), both of which have been designed and are intended for use with the currently marketed Schoelly 4mm rigid cystoscope/hysteroscope and 20Fr sheath cleared in K150158. There are no changes to any of the other system components or accessories, nor are there any changes to the Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope and Accessories indications for use.
The optical scissors and optical grasping forceps accessories both consist of a rigid shaft with an inner lumen that accommodates the 4mm Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope. The outer diameter and the working length of both accessories are 4.6mm and 266mm, respectively. During application, the scissor or the forceps can be attached to the cystoscope via a simple mechanical locking located at the very proximal portion of the devices. The scissor or grasper is then inserted through a 20Fr Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope Sheath while being connected to the Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope. Another mechanical locking mechanism allows the user to lock all three coaxial components (scope, scissor/grasper accessory, and sheath) together. The scissor and grasper accessories incorporate a control handle. Operation of the control handle actuates the distal tip double action jaws via a pull wire mechanism. The optical scissor and grasper accessories are made entirely of stainless steel. The accessories are reusable instruments that are supplied nonsterile.

Device Description
The Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope and Accessories comprise several models of rigid endoscopes as well as rigid endoscopic sheaths, obturators, and instrument bridges; the currently marketed system also includes a flexible grasping forceps. This Premarket Notification adds two rigid cystoscope/hysteroscope accessories (optical scissors and optical grasping forceps), both of which have been designed and are intended for use with the currently marketed Schoelly 4mm rigid cystoscope/hysteroscope and 20Fr sheath cleared in K150158. There are no changes to any of the other system components or accessories, nor are there any changes to the Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope and Accessories indications for use.
The optical scissors and optical grasping forceps accessories both consist of a rigid shaft with an inner lumen that accommodates the 4mm Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope. The outer diameter and the working length of both accessories are 4.6mm and 266mm, respectively. During application, the scissor or the forceps can be attached to the cystoscope via a simple mechanical locking located at the very proximal portion of the devices. The scissor or grasper is then inserted through a 20Fr Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope Sheath while being connected to the Schoelly Cystoscope/Hysteroscope. Another mechanical locking mechanism allows the user to lock all three coaxial components (scope, scissor/grasper accessory, and sheath) together. The scissor and grasper accessories incorporate a control handle. Operation of the control handle actuates the distal tip double action jaws via a pull wire mechanism. The optical scissor and grasper accessories are made entirely of stainless steel. The accessories are reusable instruments that are supplied nonsterile.
