No. The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".
No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool for visualization and facilitating procedures within the airways, not for providing direct therapeutic treatment.
Yes
Explanation: The device description states that the bronchoscope provides "real-time visualization of the airways" and facilitates "endoscopic procedures" within the tracheobronchial tree. The Intended Use also mentions "endoscopy and endoscopic procedures." Real-time visualization and facilitating endoscopic procedures are inherently diagnostic functions, as they allow for the identification and evaluation of abnormalities within the anatomical structures. Additionally, the device has a working channel for instruments like biopsy forceps, implying that it can be used to gather samples for further diagnostic analysis.
No
The device is a physical bronchoscope with a camera, light source, and working channel. While it has software components for image transmission and control, it is fundamentally a hardware device used for direct visualization and procedures within the body. The extensive testing for physical attributes (sterilization, biocompatibility, electrical safety, bench testing, etc.) confirms its hardware nature.
No
The device is a bronchoscope used for direct visualization of the airways and passage of instruments, not for performing tests on samples derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

Device Description
The LumiRex Single-Use Bronchoscope is a flexible video-based medical device designed for insertion through the mouth or nose into the trachea and bronchial tubes. It comprises a long, thin tube equipped with a light source and a camera to provide real-time visualization of the airways. The bronchoscope also features a working channel that allows for the passage of various instruments, such as biopsy forceps, brushes, and suction devices, facilitating endoscopic procedures. The device is available in different diameters to accommodate a range of patient anatomies and clinical needs.
The Bronchoscope can be used wired or wireless through a Wired Scope Adapter or Wireless Scope Adapter. The adapters transmit images from the bronchoscope to the Video Processor Unit where the user can view the image from the bronchoscope, control the LED, and save and export images from the bronchoscope onto USB removable media.

Dear John O'Conner:
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 (the 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 available 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.

Page 6
endoscopy and endoscopic procedures within the airways and the tracheobronchial tree in a hospital environment.
6. Indications for Use Comparison
The subject device LumiRex Bronchosope has the same intended use as the predicate device Vathin Video Bronchoscope System (K191828).
7. Technological Comparison
Overview of Similarities
The subject device and the predicate device have same or similar optical capabilities and conical lock, mostly similar insertion tube characteristics, and some same or similar image characteristics. These similarities do not raise any questions in regard to the safety or performance of the subject device.
Overview of Differences
The subject device allows the user to operate the device wirelessly and wired through respective adapters while the predicate device only has the option of wired use. The wired adapter of the subject device is operated in the same manner as the predicate device. The wireless adapter of the subject device has a built in battery powering the bronchoscope and allows better maneuverability and convenience during use for healthcare providers. The risks of wireless use has been assessed and found to acceptable. The functionality of the bronchoscope with wireless adapter has been validated.
The risks associated with wireless use, including latency performance testing to analyze the latency of the video feed transmission from the medical endoscope device to the medical monitor, have been assessed. The testing demonstrates that latency remains within an acceptance range. Notably, latency performance is comparable between the subject device's wired and wireless modes, although latency data for the predicate device was not tested.
The subject device has a smaller insertion tube bend radius, allowing better flexibility and maneuverability within a patient's respiratory tract. This does not affect the user's ability to carry out the intended use of the device or introduce any new risks.
The subject device has automated White balance and no image enhancement control, this simplifies the user interface and does not affect the user's ability to carry out the intended use of the device or introduce any new risks.
Comparative testing between the subject device and predicate device showed that the subject device has a wider field of view and larger depth of view.
Page 7
The subject device has different video format inputs and output formats. However, these do not affect the user's ability to carry out the intended use of the device or introduce any new risks as the LumiRex Video Processor Unit takes the resultant output format and provides the user a display of bronchoscope video image and data storage in a manner similar to the predicate device.
The above differences between the subject and predicate device do not raise any questions to the safety and performance of the predicate device.
