The ArthroFree System also enables the capture of still images and video from the live video stream by transmitting instructions for such capture to a patient data console when indicated by the user. The ArthroFree System is indicated for use in diagnostic and operative endoscopic procedures, supplying illumination and visualization of an interior cavity of the body.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a wireless camera system for endoscopic procedures that transmits and processes video for display. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on standard video transmission and processing for visualization.

No
The device is a camera system used for visualization during surgical procedures, not for treating or rehabilitating a medical condition.

No.
The device is a camera system for endoscopic procedures, which can be used for both diagnostic and operative purposes. However, it does not interpret or analyze medical images to provide a diagnosis; it merely supplies illumination and visualization of an interior cavity.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "high-definition wireless camera system" and mentions hardware components like a "light engine" and "battery." The performance studies also include hardware-related testing such as "Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility" and "Wireless Performance."

Based on the provided information, the ArthroFree System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "diagnostic and operative endoscopic procedures, supplying illumination and visualization of an interior cavity of the body." This involves direct visualization of internal body structures during surgical procedures.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's a "high-definition wireless camera system intended to transmit live video from a surgical site to a patient data console and surgical display during endoscopic surgical procedures."
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. The ArthroFree System is used inside the body for visualization during surgery.

The ArthroFree System is a surgical imaging device used for visualization during endoscopic procedures.
