Intended Use
Saber's Rigid Fiber Optic Laparoscopes are used to permit direct viewing of the organs within the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures.
Device Description
Saber Endoscopy's Rigid Fiber Optic Laparoscopes are small diameter endoscopes which consist of fiber optic imaging fibers and illumination fibers contained within a stainless steel jacket. Light from a high intensity light source is transmitted to the scope by a detachable light carrying cable. The light is then carried by the illumination fibers to the target. A distal lens focuses an image of the target onto the image fiber bundle. The image is transmitted to the proximal end of the scope, where it is magnified and focused by an optical eyepiece. The image may be viewed directly through the eyepiece, or the scope may be connected to a video system via a standard endoscopic video coupler.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a purely optical system for viewing, with no mention of computational analysis, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No
The device is used for diagnostic and surgical procedures, providing direct viewing of organs. It does not actively treat or mitigate a disease or condition itself.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the laparoscopes are used for "performing diagnostic and surgical procedures."

No

The device description clearly details physical components like fiber optic imaging fibers, illumination fibers, a stainless steel jacket, a detachable light carrying cable, a distal lens, and an optical eyepiece, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This testing happens outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that Saber's Rigid Fiber Optic Laparoscopes are used for direct viewing of organs within the peritoneal cavity for diagnostic and surgical procedures. This is an in vivo (within the living body) procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for direct visualization inside the body, not for testing samples taken from the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical or diagnostic instrument used inside the body, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 884.1720 Gynecologic laparoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gynecologic laparoscope is a device used to permit direct viewing of the organs within the peritoneum by a telescopic system introduced through the abdominal wall. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures on the female genital organs. This generic type of device may include: Trocar and cannula, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheater, light source and cables, and component parts.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for gynecologic laparoscope accessories that are not part of a specialized instrument or device delivery system, do not have adapters, connector channels, or do not have portals for electrosurgical, lasers, or other power sources. Such gynecologic laparosope accessory instruments include: the lens cleaning brush, biopsy brush, clip applier (without clips), applicator, cannula (without trocar or valves), ligature carrier/needle holder, clamp/hemostat/grasper, curette, instrument guide, ligature passing and knotting instrument, suture needle (without suture), retractor, mechanical (noninflatable), snare, stylet, forceps, dissector, mechanical (noninflatable), scissors, and suction/irrigation probe. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
