Intended Use
The Microendoscope system is used to apply and maintain pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic procedures and to provide access and visualization for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes for laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures.
Device Description
Cannula and tubes are made of medical grade stainless steel and chrome plated brass. Telescopes are made of medical grade stainless steel (sleeve), glass-lenses, glass-fibers, brass chrome plated (housing), and plastic (eyepiece). As the intended use describes, the set is miniaturized in diameter and length for minimally invasive laparoscopy. The veress cannula and the tubes are larger in diameter and longer in working length. The telescopes are shorter in length and smaller in diameter.

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical components and sterilization, with no mention of AI/ML or image processing.

No.
The device's intended use is for applying/maintaining pneumoperitoneum, and providing access/visualization for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, but it does not directly perform a therapeutic action itself; it facilitates other therapeutic (and diagnostic) procedures.

No
Explanation: The device is described as providing access and visualization for both "diagnostic and therapeutic purposes," indicating it is not solely a diagnostic device. Since its functions extend beyond diagnosis to include therapy, it is not exclusively a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as cannulas, tubes, and telescopes made of stainless steel, brass, glass, and plastic.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is used for applying and maintaining pneumoperitoneum, and providing access and visualization for laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures. These are all procedures performed on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of the system (cannula, tubes, telescopes) which are used for surgical access and visualization. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing

In summary, the Microendoscope system is a surgical instrument used for minimally invasive procedures, not a device for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

§ 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.

Microendoscope System (Mini Lap) for OB/GYN Use Dated: July 31, 1997 Received: August 1, 1997 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR §884.1690 & 884.1720 Product Code: 85 HIH & HET

Dear Mr. Casarsa

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, 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 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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS 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 Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
