No
The description focuses on traditional optical and mechanical components for visualization and manipulation, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.
Yes
The device is used for diagnostic and surgical procedures within the cervical canal and uterine cavity, which are therapeutic actions.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is used "for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures."
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as glass fiber optics, optical lenses, prisms, hysteroscopic sheaths, and manual instruments.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures" and "endoscopic examination and treatment of the cervical canal and uterine cavity." This describes a device used directly on the patient for visualization and intervention within the body.
- Device Description: The description details how the device works by transferring light and allowing visualization through optical lenses and prisms, and how it's used to access and work within the uterus. This aligns with a surgical or diagnostic instrument used in vivo.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD. The device is used for direct visualization and manipulation within the patient.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical or diagnostic instrument used in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Images Endoscopes and accessories transfer light to the surgical site via glass fiber optics and allow visualization of the surgical site through a series of optical lenses and prisms. Hysteroscopic sheaths are used to access and maintain an opening into the uterus for introduction of the endoscope and surgical instruments. Sheaths also allow access for gas or liquid distention of the uterus. Semi-rigid and flexible manual instruments are utilized for examination and treatment of cervical and uterine tissues.

§ 884.1690 Hysteroscope and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A hysteroscope is a device used to permit direct viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity by a telescopic system introduced into the uterus through the cervix. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures other than sterilization. This generic type of device may include obturators and sheaths, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheaters, light sources and cables, and component parts.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for hysteroscope accessories that are not part of a specialized instrument or device delivery system; do not have adapters, connectors, channels, or do not have portals for electrosurgical, laser, or other power sources. Such hysteroscope accessory instruments include: lens cleaning brush, cannula (without trocar or valves), clamp/hemostat/grasper, curette, instrument guide, forceps, dissector, mechanical (noninflatable), and scissors. 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.
