Intended Use
The single use andorate® Suction Valve is used to control the suction of an endoscope during GL endoscopic procedures. The single use andorate® Air/Water Valve is used to control the air / water function of an endoscope during GI endoscopic procedures.
Device Description
The subject devices are intended for single-use and are supplied sterile. The suction valve is designed to be attached to the suction port of the endoscope and the air/water valve is designed to be attached to the air/water port of the endoscope. The activation of the suction valve allows the user to aspirate excess fluids or other debris obscuring the endoscope image, while the activation of the air/water valve allows the user to control air and water flow to assist in cleansing the lens during procedures.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical function and fluid control, with no mention of AI/ML or image processing.

No.
The device components (suction valve, air/water valve) control endoscope functions to assist in imaging or cleaning, rather than directly treating a medical condition.

No

The devices described (suction valve and air/water valve for endoscopes) are used to control functions (suction, air/water flow) during endoscopic procedures to improve image clarity or assist in the procedure itself, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates physical components (suction valve, air/water valve) that attach to an endoscope and control physical functions (suction, air/water flow). This is 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 clearly states the devices are used to control suction and air/water flow during endoscopic procedures to assist in visualization. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body and the endoscope, not an in vitro test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use by explaining how the valves attach to the endoscope and their function in managing fluids and air during the procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device's function is purely procedural and related to the operation of the endoscope within the body.

Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
