The document mentions "image processing" but does not describe any AI/ML techniques being used for this processing. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, training data, or test data.
No
The device is primarily described for observation, diagnosis, and video processing, not for direct therapeutic intervention. While it mentions "treatment" as an intended use, the device description focuses on imaging and diagnostic capabilities.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the EvoEndo Model LE Gastroscope is intended for "observation, diagnosis, [and] treatment" of the upper digestive tract.
No
The device description clearly outlines two regulated components: a physical gastroscope (EvoEndo Model LE Single-Use Gastroscope) and a physical controller (EvoEndo Controller). The gastroscope includes hardware components like a handle, umbilical bundle, and endoscope shaft with an HD camera. The controller is described as translating images/video captured by the camera via an HDMI cable, indicating it is a physical device with hardware functionality. While the controller performs image processing, it is part of a larger system that includes significant hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the observation, diagnosis, and treatment of the upper digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, and duodenal bulb) through direct visualization using a gastroscope. This is a procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The device is a gastroscope and a controller that processes video and images captured by the gastroscope's camera. This is a medical device used for direct examination of internal body structures.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any analysis on biological specimens.
The device is clearly a medical device used for endoscopic procedures, which are performed directly on the patient's body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench Performance Testing: Visual, dimensional, functional, and transit simulation verification testing was performed on final sterilized EvoEndo Endoscopes. The testing sample size was selected to achieve the % confidence / % reliability ratio predetermined for each specification being tested. In functional testing, devices were verified for camera and video control unit functioning; tip deflection; air, water, and suction flow rates; functionality with accessory device; functionality after 360° bend shaft orientation; functionality with simulated repeated use; and post simulated use functionality. The deflection achieved with the EvoEndo Endoscope is consistent with that of the identified predicate device in all directions, indicating substantial equivalence.
In transit simulation test units underwent environmental conditioning, distribution simulation, and packaging testing to confirm the integrity of the sterile barrier and functionality of the device under expected transportation conditions. The EvoEndo Endoscopy System met acceptance criteria set for all verification testing procedures.
Optical performance testing was performed on the EvoEndo Endoscope and compared to the predicate device. The testing evaluated the resolution, depth of field, geometric distortion, image intensity uniformity, and color performance of the endoscope.

In conclusion, the EvoEndo Single-Use Endoscopy System is demonstrated to be as safe and effective and perform as well as the identified predicate devices. The EvoEndo Endoscope and Controller have the same intended use, indication, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the respective predicates. Any differences between the EvoEndo Endoscopy System and the predicate devices do not alter the intended use of the device and do not raise new or different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness when use as labelled. Verification and usability testing demonstrate that the device performs as intended. Thus, the EvoEndo Endoscopy System is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices.
