Intended Use
The KSEA 15.5 Fr. Flexible Choledocho-Fiberscope is designed to be used by qualified surgeons and physicians for examination of the gall bladder and bile duct, and, using additional instruments, to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Device Description
The KSEA 15.5 Fr. Flexible Choledocho-Fiberscope is a manually operated surgical device. The Flexible Choledocho-Fiberscope is a flexible fiber-optic telescope which utilizes fiber-optic technology. The body contact portions of the Flexible Choledocho-Fiberscope are composed of medical-grade polyurethane. The Accessories are double-action flexible forceps (grasping and biopsy), which are constructed of surgical-grade stainless steel (AISI series 303 and 304 for the shafts, AISI series 420 for jaws and handles).
More Information

There are no Predicate Devices mentioned in the provided text.

Not Found

No
The description focuses on manual operation, fiber-optic technology, and materials, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

Yes
The device is described as being used to "perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures" using additional instruments. This explicitly states its therapeutic capability.

Yes

The device is explicitly designed for the "examination of the gall bladder and bile duct," which falls under diagnostic procedures. Additionally, it states its use for "various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures."

No

The device description clearly states it is a "manually operated surgical device" and describes physical components like a flexible fiber-optic telescope, polyurethane body contact portions, and stainless steel accessories (forceps). This indicates 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:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the examination of the gall bladder and bile duct and to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures within the body. This is an in-vivo procedure, not an in-vitro (outside the body) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The device is a flexible fiber-optic telescope used for direct visualization and manipulation within the body. This is characteristic of an endoscopic device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body, which is the core function of an IVD.

Therefore, the KSEA 15.5 Fr. Flexible Choledocho-Fiberscope is a surgical/endoscopic device, not an IVD.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
