No
The summary describes traditional arthroscopic tools for visualization and tissue resection, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is described as providing illumination, visualization, and resection/removal of tissue during diagnostic and operative arthroscopic procedures. While these actions are part of a medical procedure, the device itself is a surgical instrument and not a standalone therapeutic device that directly treats a condition without human intervention or other medical procedures. Its function is to assist in surgical procedures.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the arthroscopes and accessories are "indicated for use in diagnostic and operative arthroscopic procedures to provide illumination and visualization." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components like arthroscopes, accessories, and surgical blades driven by a motor, indicating it 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 tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that the device is used for illumination, visualization, and resection of tissue within joint spaces during surgical procedures. This is an in vivo procedure (performed within the living body), not an in vitro test on a sample outside the body.
The device is a surgical instrument used directly on the patient during arthroscopic surgery.

Dear Ms. Ryan:
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 Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP 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 Eederal 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.
