The summary does not mention AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The software is described as processing, analyzing, storing, and viewing images, which are standard functions for medical imaging software and do not inherently indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device is intended for visualization and detection of abnormalities, not for treatment or therapy.
Yes.
The device is intended for "visualization of the small bowel mucosa in adults" and "may be used as a tool in the detection of abnormalities of the small bowel," which are diagnostic purposes. The performance study also refers to a "diagnostic Overall Percent Agreement rate."
No
The device description clearly lists multiple hardware components (Capsule, Data recorder, Locator) in addition to the software (ESView Software).
Based on the provided information, the NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The NaviCam system directly visualizes the small bowel mucosa within the body using an ingestible capsule. It does not analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside the body.
- The intended use is for visualization and detection of abnormalities within the small bowel. This is a direct imaging and diagnostic tool, not a test performed on a biological sample.
- The device components are focused on image acquisition, transmission, recording, and viewing. This aligns with an in-vivo imaging system, not an in-vitro diagnostic test.
Therefore, the NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System falls under the category of an in-vivo imaging device rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System is an endoscopic capsule imaging system intended to obtain images of the small bowel. It is comprised of the following components:
- [1.] Capsule (AKES-11SW, AKES-11SI): The disposable, ingestible NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule is designed to acquire video images during the natural propulsion through the GI tract. The capsule transmits the acquired images via an RF communication channel to the NaviCam Data Recorder located outside the body.
- [2.] Data recorder (AKR-1, AKRI-1): The Data Recorder is an external receiving and recording unit that receives and stores the acquired images from the capsule.
- [3.] ESView Software: The ESView is a software application for processing, analyzing, storing, and viewing the acquired images collected from the NaviCam Data Recorder to create a video of the images. The software also includes a reporting function to create detailed clinical reports and a capsule endoscopy atlas.
- [4.] Locator: The Locator is a handheld device that is used to turn the NaviCam Capsule on. It is also used for determining if the capsule is still in the body when the patient is not sure whether he/she expelled it.

Clinical Data
The NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System was evaluated in a prospective study, comparing its performance to that of the FDA cleared PillCam SB3 Capsule Endoscopy System (NCT05086471).
In this prospective clinical study, the NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System and PillCam SB3 Capsule Endoscopy System had a diagnostic Overall Percent Agreement rate of 89.66% (81.50%, 94.46%), and an overall percent agreement Kappa of 0.6652 (0.4653, 0.8652). The results of this comparative study demonstrate that the NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System performs similarly to the PillCam SB3 Capsule Endoscopy System and provides an effective non-invasive method for the detection of small bowel diseases.
9. CONCLUSION
ANKON Technologies Co., Ltd. believes that the NaviCam Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy System is substantially equivalent to its primary predicate device, the Given PillCam (SB3) Endoscopy System and its reference device, the NaviCam Stomach System. It has substantially equivalent indications and contraindication, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics to these of the primary and reference systems, and therefore does not introduce any new safety or effectiveness concerns.
