For illumination during surgery. Regular Monofilament - Inserts into any standard Fiberoptic Pic Set. Fine Monofilament - Inserts into any standard Fiberoptic Forceps.
Device Description
The American Medical Devices Endolight™ Regular and Fine Monofilaments are for illumination during surgery. The Regular Monofilament inserts into any standard pic set. The Fine Monofilament inserts into any standard fiberoptic forceps. These fibers allow the surgeon to use bi-manual technique during surgical procedures. The devices are identical except for the fact that the Regular Monofilament is a 19 ga. fiber and the Fine Monofilament is a 20 ga. fiber.

The device description and intended use are purely focused on providing illumination during surgery using fiber optic technology. There is no mention of any computational processing, data analysis, or learning capabilities.

No.
The device is used for illumination during surgery, which is a supportive function and does not provide therapy or treatment to a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as providing illumination during surgery for surgical procedures, not for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Monofilament" which is a physical fiber, not software. It also describes inserting it into physical instruments like "pic set" and "fiberoptic forceps".

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "For illumination during surgery." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to provide light, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use, stating the monofilaments are "for illumination during surgery" and are used to "allow the surgeon to use bi-manual technique during surgical procedures." This is a description of a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in specimens
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

Therefore, the American Medical Devices Endolight™ Regular and Fine Monofilaments are surgical illumination devices, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

The American Medical Devices, Inc Regular and Fine Monofilaments are produced and sterilize same locations as the Grieshaber products.

Sterility

The Device will be ETO Sterilized.

The method used to validate the sterilization cycle is AAMI Overkill Method

Packaging Material: Tyvek Pouch with a Ploymylar Sheath.

The SAL is 10 to the -6.

The maximum levels of residues of ethylene oxide: 25 parts per million; ethylene chlorohydrin: 25 parts per million and ethylene glycol: 250 parts per million.

This device is non-pyrogenic and the LAL Method is used to make that determination.

Pyrogens: We control the manufacturing environment to lessen the likelihood of pyrogen causing bacteria. In addition the LAL Method is used to determine that each lot is non-pyrogenic.
