No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and optical properties of a traditional endoscope and its accessories. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is used for diagnostic and/or surgical interventions, including the removal of nodes and tumors and coagulation, which are therapeutic actions.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the Mediastinoscope is used for "diagnostic and/or surgical interventions" and specifically mentions "For diagnostic clarification of primary and secondary diseases of the mediastinum" and "For the diagnosis and removal of lymphatic nodes." This clearly indicates its role in diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical, tubular endoscope with a handle, built-in telescope, fiber illumination, and spreadable spatulas. It also mentions various physical accessory instruments. This is a hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. The examination is performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The Mediastinoscope and its auxiliary instruments are used for direct visualization, manipulation, and tissue collection within the patient's body (in vivo) during a surgical procedure (mediastinoscopy). While tissue samples may be collected for later in vitro analysis (like histology), the device itself is not performing the diagnostic test on the specimen.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes diagnostic and surgical interventions performed on the patient, not on a specimen taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The description details an endoscope and surgical instruments, not equipment for analyzing biological samples.
The device is a surgical instrument used to facilitate the collection of samples and perform procedures within the body. The subsequent analysis of any collected samples would be performed using separate IVD devices or laboratory procedures.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Mediastifascope, in connection with various auxiliary instruments, is used for diagnostic and/or surgical interventions in the upper area of the mediastinum
Mediastinoscopy is carried out
- In order to evaluate the operability of patients suffering from bronchial carcinoma which have . already been verified, for treatment planning of other carcinomas in the mediastinal area and for biopsies.
- For diagnostic clarification of primary and secondary diseases of the mediastinum, when other . examination methods have been unable to provide the nature, and in particular the histological character of the disturbance.
- For the removal of nodes and tumors. .
- For the diagnosis and removal of lymphatic nodes.
Various auxiliary instruments are used in mediastinoscopy:
- The smoke evacuation tube is used to evacuate smoke during HF or laser applications.
- The telescope rinsing tube (optic irriyation tube) is used to keep the distal area of the telescope clear by rinsing with irrigation fluid.
- The mediastinal puncture tube is used to puncture lymph nodules and aspirate the content for . cyto/histological purposes.
- The tumor grasping forceps are used for grasping and manipulating tissue. .
- The micro grasping forceps with HF are used for coagulating small vessels and grasping. .
- The HF coagulation suction devices are used for suction and for coagulation while holding tissue 'out of the way' during endoscopic operations of the larynx in connection with CO, lasers or in mediastinoscopy.
- The bipolar aspiration tube (bipolar coagulation suction tube) is used for aspiration and for . coagulation of small lesions.

Device Description
The Optical Mediastinoscope is a tubular, conical shaped endoscope with a handle and a build-in telescope with fiber illumination which is bent at a 90° angle. The endoscope tube consists of two spreadable spatulas which allow distention of the operative field, and therefore, optimizes vision. The spatulas may be dismounted for easier cleaning.
For efficiency during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, a variety of accessory instruments are needed, e.g. biopsy and grasping forceps, puncture, suction and coagulation tubes or telescope rinsing tubes

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
- Pull tests of the optical mediastinoscope show that there is no permanent deformation if used normally
- Mechanical load tests of the forceps and stone extractors show that there is no breakage of the jaw or other parts if used normally.
- Steam sterilization in clinical use and tests performed by Richard Wolf show that the steam . sterilization has no influence on the functional performance of the submitted devices when using the fractional method.

(a)
Identification. A mediastinoscope and accessories is a tubular tapered electrical endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the mediastinoscope and is intended to examine or treat tissue in the area separating the lungs. The device is inserted transthoracicly and is used in diagnosis of tumors and lesions and to determine whether excision of certain organs or tissues is indicated. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel. This generic type of device includes the flexible foreign body claw, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, and flexible biopsy curette, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)

Dear Mr. Casarsa:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are 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 devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices 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 (QS) 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 devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submissions 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.
