More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical components and intended use of a light source for surgery, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No.
The device is used for illumination during surgery to improve visualization, not to directly treat a condition or restore a function.

No
The device is described as an "Endoilluminator" used to "illuminate with visible spectrum light the intra ocular portion of the eye for improved visualization and manipulation during vitreo-retinal surgery." Its function is to provide illumination during a surgical procedure, which is an assistive role rather than a diagnostic one that identifies diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components (handpiece handle, handpiece tube, fiberoptic cable, fiber optic cable sheath, and connector), 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:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to illuminate the intraocular portion of the eye during surgery for improved visualization and manipulation. This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not involve the examination of specimens.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the intraocular portion of the eye, which is inside the living body.

Therefore, the Syntec, Inc. True Light Endoilluminator with Pick is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The Endoilluminator with Pick is comprised of five basic components: the handpiece tube, the fiberoptic cable, the fiber optic cable sheath and the connector.

The devices are of a similar design and are made using the same materials except for the zinc connector used with the Syntec design. The handpiece tube is made of surgical grade stainless steel. The fiberoptic cable is made with a polystyrene core and a polymethylmethacrylate cladding. The fiber optic cable sheath is made of PVC tubing.

The device is biocompatible with the body tissue and fluids with which it comes in contact as it is made of the same materials as the predicate device. These materials meet US Pharmacopoeia Class VI criteria and are widely used in many other medical products. The device is sterilized using ethylene oxide gas which is then validated by the overkill method.

The light output intensity and spot size is the same as the predicate device. The only device differences are cosmetic.

§ 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.
