The summary describes a purely optical and mechanical endoscopic system for visualization, with no mention of software, image processing beyond basic video display, or any terms related to AI/ML.
No
The device is described as a "diagnostic tool to visualize and illuminate the epidural space," not for treating a condition or disease.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device "is intended as a diagnostic tool to visualize and illuminate the epidural space... when assessing disease pathology".
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a fiberscope, disposable catheter, and various accessories, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "diagnostic tool to visualize and illuminate the epidural space... when assessing disease pathology". This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for direct observation and assessment.
- Device Description: The description details an "arthroscope" and "fiberscope" used for "viewing the lumbar and sacral spinal anatomy". This is consistent with an endoscopic device used for internal visualization.
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform such tests on samples.
The device is an endoscopic system used for direct visualization within the body, which falls under the category of medical devices used for diagnosis through direct observation, not IVD.

Dear Mr. Caparotta:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
