Intended Use
HJY VisualNext™ Endoscopic Vision System is intended for viewing internal surgical sites during general surgical procedures and for use in visualization of structures within the brain during neurological surgical procedures as well as for viewing internal surgical sites during anterior and posterior spinal procedures, such as nucleotomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy.
Device Description
The HJY VisualNext™ Endoscopic Vision System is a system used for viewing internal surgical sites during surgical procedures. The system consists of the following components: - . Endoscope Control Unit (ECU) (Model number: HDSES01) - . Endoscope (Model number: HDSE201) The endoscope is physically connected via a 5m BNC cable to the Endoscope Control Unit (ECU). The Endoscope consists of 2 LED lamps and a CMOS camera, embedded in the proximal end of a rigid metal arthroscope, which captures the image and transmits to and is processed by the Endoscope Control Unit (ECU), subsequently output to and presented on an external monitor. Images are recordable and markable for further analysis. The Endoscope Control Unit (ECU) is not connectable to intranet or Internet.

No
The summary describes standard image processing within the Endoscope Control Unit, but there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts. The performance studies focus on traditional optical and image quality metrics, not AI/ML performance metrics.

No.
The device is described as an "Endoscopic Vision System" intended for "viewing internal surgical sites." It captures and processes images to be displayed on an external monitor, which is a diagnostic or visualization function, not a therapeutic one.

No

The device is an endoscopic vision system intended for viewing internal surgical sites during surgical procedures. Its primary function is visualization, not the diagnosis of a condition or disease from the images.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components (Endoscope Control Unit, Endoscope with LED lamps and CMOS camera) and describes their physical connection and function in capturing and transmitting images. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "viewing internal surgical sites" and "visualization of structures within the brain" during surgical procedures. This is a direct visualization tool used during a medical procedure on a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a system with an endoscope and a control unit that captures and displays images of internal anatomy. This aligns with a surgical visualization device, not a device that analyzes samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is purely to provide visual access to internal structures.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device does not perform that function.

Dear Dr. John Jiannyuh Chen:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

1

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

    Conditions: only measure the working length
    of the Disposable endoscope
    Purpose: To verify the working length of the
    endoscope and compare to that of predicate
    device. | Results:
  13. Working length: 180.76 mm
  14. It passed pre-defined acceptance criteria.
    Discussion on SE: Although the working length of
    the subject device is longer than that of predicate, the
    difference in working length does not raise different
    safety and effectiveness questions. |

    Conditions: Only measure the outer diameter
    of the disposable endoscope
    Purpose: To verify the outer diameter of the
    endoscope and compare to that of predicate
    device. | Results:
  15. Outer diameter: 5.28 - 5.32 mm
  16. It passed pre-defined acceptance criteria.
    Discussion on SE: Although the outer diameter is
    wider than the predicate, the difference does not raise
    different safety and effectiveness questions. |

    service life of ECU.
  23. Based on the agreement test, the image quality of
    both the non-aged and aged subject devices was
    found to be comparable to that of the
    FDA-cleared comparator devices for both brain
    and spine endoscopy.

    To verify subject device performance in terms of image quality under different light levels and working distances in a clinically relevant biological tissue model to support the device intended use and substantial equivalence to the predicate. | length on image quality during spine endoscopy, it is crucial to exercise caution when utilizing the subject device under worse-case clinical use conditions, such as extreme light intensity or working lengths. Based on the statistical analysis, surgeons should be mindful of avoiding higher light intensity settings during brain and spine endoscopy and refrain from employing long working lengths during spine endoscopy procedures. Light intensity level is adjustable with the subject device as well as the predicate. |
