Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is intended for "diagnostic and therapeutic procedures," indicating a therapeutic purpose.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to provide bronchoscopic visualization of and access to patient airways for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures." The term "diagnostic" directly indicates its use for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly details a physical bronchoscope with hardware components like a camera, working channel, and articulation mechanism, which is part of a larger robotic platform. It is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "to provide bronchoscopic visualization of and access to patient airways for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures." This describes a device used within the body for direct observation and intervention, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details a bronchoscope with a camera, working channel, and articulation, designed to be used with a robotic platform to navigate airways. This is consistent with an endoscopic device used for in-vivo procedures.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis. The device's function is visualization and access, not diagnostic testing of samples.
Therefore, the reprocessed Monarch Bronchoscope is a medical device used for in-vivo procedures, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The 4x reprocessed Monarch Bronchoscope. MBR-000211-B. (hereafter referred to as "Proposed Device") is similar to the 2x reprocessed Monarch Bronchoscope, MBR-000211-B, (hereafter referred to as "Predicate Device").
The Original Monarch Bronchoscope. MBR-000211-A. (hereafter referred to as "Co-Predicate Device") cleared under K193534 is identical to the 2x reprocessed Monarch Bronchoscope ("Predicate Device"), cleared under K203614.
Both device designs are controlled by Auris Health, Inc., throughout their total product lifecycle.
The Monarch Bronchoscope is a component of, and must be used with, the Monarch Platform, cleared under K193534. The Monarch Bronchoscope is connected to the robotic arms of the Monarch Platform to provide bronchoscopic visualization of and access to patient airways for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The Proposed Device is a reprocessed single-use device that is either discarded or returned to Auris for reprocessing after clinical use. The original single-use Monarch Bronchoscope was cleared for one clinical use under K193534. The reprocessed single-use (rSUD) Monarch Bronchoscope was cleared for two (2) clinical uses under K203614. This premarket notification intends to gain market clearance for a reprocessed single-use (rSUD) Monarch Bronchoscope that can be reprocessed up to three (3) times, for a total of four (4) clinical uses.
Identical to the Predicate Device, the Reprocessed Monarch Bronchoscope, consisting of the Inner Scope ("scope") and the Outer Sheath ("sheath"), has 4-way articulation controlled by continuous, direct, visual control of the physician using the Monarch Platform. The Proposed Device contains a working channel through which biopsy devices, or other working channel instruments, may be introduced. The distal tip of the Proposed Device has a camera control unit (CCU) that collects live images that are then transmitted to the physician's display interface of the Monarch Platform. The camera transmits vision data to the Monarch Tower through the camera cable. The single-use, manually controlled, working channel instruments compatible with the Proposed Device are identical to the working channel instruments compatible with the Predicate Device.
