Intended Use
The E-Brik™ Visualization Assistant is intended to be used prior to and during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures to prevent fogging of the scope lens.
Device Description
The E-Brik™ Visualization Assistant is designed as an accessory to be used prior to and during procedures that utilize a laparoscope or endoscope. It is designed to warm the scope above body temperature and apply a warmed surfactant. The device is provided sterile and is intended for single use only in a healthcare facility/ hospital. The E-Brik™ is activated by the user removing the nonconductive slip sheet from the bottom, completing the battery circuit. Once activated, internal circuitry begins the warming function of the device. The user is alerted to this activation by an LED which is illuminated below both ports. The E-Brik™ has two ports that accept endoscopes and/or laparoscopes ranging from 3mm to 10mm in diameter. Both ports can be used prior to the surgical case to warm the scope(s) before the insertion into a body cavity. The E-Brik™ can act as a scope stand as it is designed to support the main axis of the scope, allowing it to rest horizontally on a flat stable surface. A sterile surfactant solution is added to the ports prior to use, which is warmed when the device is active. The ports allow for the user to apply the warmed surfactant prior to and during the case. The E-Brik™ is powered by alkaline batteries and has a single-use surgical life of a minimum of 4 hours.

No
The device description focuses on warming and applying a surfactant to prevent fogging, using basic circuitry and batteries. There is no mention of image processing, AI, ML, or any data processing that would suggest the use of such technologies. The performance studies are focused on biocompatibility, electrical safety, and basic performance, not algorithmic validation.

No
The device is an accessory to prevent fogging of a scope lens during procedures, not directly treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an accessory to prevent fogging of scope lenses during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. Its function is to warm the scope and apply a warmed surfactant, which are preventative measures, not diagnostic actions.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as batteries, internal circuitry, LED indicators, and physical ports designed to warm and apply surfactant to endoscopes/laparoscopes. It also mentions verification activities related to biocompatibility, electrical safety, and packaging, which are characteristic of hardware devices.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent fogging of scope lenses during endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. This is a function related to the surgical instrument itself, not to the analysis of biological samples or the diagnosis of a condition.
  • Device Description: The device warms the scope and applies a warmed surfactant. This is a physical process applied to the scope, not a test performed on a patient sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
    • Using reagents or calibrators

The E-Brik™ Visualization Assistant is an accessory designed to improve the functionality of surgical scopes, not to perform diagnostic testing.

Dear Srividya Pothana:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
