More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes digital post-processing imaging enhancement technology (i-Scan), but does not mention AI or ML. The performance study focuses on image quality and visualization compared to a predicate device, not on AI/ML-driven analysis or diagnosis.

No.
The intended use of the device is for observation and diagnosis, including image enhancement for visualization, rather than for direct treatment or therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the PENTAX Medical EPK-3000 Video Processor is intended for "ENT endoscopic observation and ENT diagnosis".

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including video processors, camera heads, endoscopes, light guides, and monitors. While it includes software for image processing (i-Scan), it is an integral part of a larger hardware system.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The PENTAX Medical EPK-3000 and EPK-i5010 Video Processors, along with their associated components (camera heads, endoscopes, etc.), are used for direct visualization of internal body cavities (specifically ENT areas) through endoscopy. They process and display video images captured by the endoscope.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "ENT endoscopic observation and ENT diagnosis, treatment and video observation." This involves looking inside the body, not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • No mention of biological samples: The description of the device and its function does not involve the collection or analysis of any biological samples.

The device is a medical imaging system used for direct visualization and diagnosis within the body, which falls under a different regulatory category than in vitro diagnostics.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION 4

PENTAX Medical EPK-3000 and ENT Video Imaging Systems are used for ENT endoscopic observation and nasopharyngo-laryngoscopic (ENT) diagnosis, treatment, and video observation. The System functions by receiving image signals from the image sensor in an endoscope, which are processed within a video processor and then output to a monitor. Brightness, color balance, and other properties of the displayed images can be adjusted using the buttons on the system's control panel. The light from a xenon lamp at the distal end of the endoscope illuminates the body cavities of the patient through the endoscope connected to the video processor.

The new component to be added to the subject system is the PENTAX Medical Camera Head, model PVK-J10. The PVK-J10 is used in conjunction with a non-video endoscope, video processor, and light guide. The non-video endoscope is connected to the video processor via the camera head and the light guide. The light supplied from the video processor is transmitted to the distal end of the endoscope via the light guide and connector in order to illuminate the patient's body cavity. Light captured by the endoscope are converted into the video signals by the camera head, and the signals are transferred to the video processor to display the video images on the monitor.

The PVK-J10 camera head connects to rigid, non-video sinuscopes (K142249). It takes images formed on the ocular lens by CCD sensor inside the control head, and transmits the image signal to the video processor. Image signal from CCD sensor is adjusted in terms of color, contrast, etc.,

The changes in the subject device have been evaluated through performance testing and raise no issue of safety and effectiveness of the device as these differences have no effect on the performance, function or general intended use of the devices.

The optical components of the PENTAX Medical Camera Head have the same fundamental technology ( Software, Type of Image Sensor, CCD Pixel ) as the optical components of the predicate device. Both the PENTAX Medical Camera Head and the predicate device are intended for illuminating and viewing the inside of the human body. Subject devices that add PVK-J10 with sinuscope to the predicate system configurations have the same visual capabilities as the predicate systems. This has been successfully substantiated by a series of bench tests and the clinical image capture study.

Both subject and the predicate scopes are reprocessed by the user.
