Intended Use
The KSEA magnifying arthroscopes and accessories are intended for use by qualified surgeons during arthroscopic procedures of the small and large joints. Specific arthroscope models are intended for arthroscopic procedures of the shoulder and knee; arthroscopic procedures of the elbow, ankle, wrist and jaw; and arthroscopic procedures for the shoulder, knee and illumination and visualization of the hip joint to diagnose disease and for the removal of loose bodies in the hip joint".
Device Description
The KSEA magnifying arthroscopes are manually operated, reusable surgical devices consisting of a rigid arthroscope with a ring for adjusting the magnification of the image The arthroscopes are long enough to gain access to the surgical site. The body contact materials are surgical grade stainless steel.

No
The summary describes a manually operated, reusable surgical device (arthroscope) with adjustable magnification. There is no mention of image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven components.

No.
The device is described as a magnifying arthroscope used for visualization and diagnosis, not for providing a therapeutic effect or treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended for "illumination and visualization of the hip joint to diagnose disease."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "manually operated, reusable surgical device consisting of a rigid arthroscope with a ring for adjusting the magnification of the image" and mentions "surgical grade stainless steel" as body contact materials. This indicates a physical hardware device, not software only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device description: The KSEA magnifying arthroscopes are described as surgical devices used during arthroscopic procedures. They are used to visualize the inside of joints directly, not to analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states they are for use by surgeons during arthroscopic procedures to diagnose disease and remove loose bodies. This is a surgical intervention and visualization tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the KSEA magnifying arthroscopes are surgical instruments, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

The body contact materials are surgical grade stainless steel.

Substantial Equivalence: The KSEA magnifying arthroscopes and accessories are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since the basic features, design and intended uses are the same. The minor differences in design and dimensions between the KSEA magnifying arthroscopes and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these design differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices.
