Intended Use
The MIST Micro Interchangeable Scope System ™ is intended to be used by trained physicians for the illumination and direct visualization of body cavities, hollow organs and canals during diagnostic and general surgical procedures. The MIST Micro Interchangeable Scope Systems are rigid, two piece fiber-optic endoscopes intended for the illumination and direct visualization of body cavities, hollow organs and canals during general diagnostic procedures.
Device Description
The MIST Micro Interchangeable Scope System ™ is a two piece, rigid, fiberoptic laparoscope. The universal eyepiece (MicroView Handle)) may be used with several variable sizes of shafts. No working channel is provided. The devices are re-usable, and will be sold non-sterile with instruction for cleaning, sterilization, and re-use.
More Information

No
The summary describes a rigid, fiber-optic endoscope for direct visualization and illumination, with no mention of image processing, AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is described as an endoscope used for illumination and direct visualization during diagnostic and general surgical procedures, without mention of any therapeutic function.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is for "direct visualization of body cavities, hollow organs and canals during diagnostic and general surgical procedures" and "during general diagnostic procedures."

No

The device description clearly states it is a "rigid, two piece fiber-optic endoscope" and a "two piece, rigid, fiberoptic laparoscope," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "illumination and direct visualization of body cavities, hollow organs and canals during diagnostic and general surgical procedures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for direct observation.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform such analysis on specimens.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "rigid, two piece fiber-optic endoscope" used for visualization, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the MIST Micro Interchangeable Scope System™ falls under the category of a surgical or diagnostic endoscope used for direct visualization within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.
