Not Found

No
The description focuses on a manual surgical instrument for grasping and introducing contrast medium, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No.
The device is used to introduce contrast medium for diagnostic imaging (cholangiography), not to treat a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is used for laparoscopic cholangiography, which is a diagnostic imaging procedure to visualize the bile ducts. Introducing contrast medium for this purpose makes it a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "5mm clamp" and a "hand held manual instrument," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a method of laparoscopic cholangiography." This is a surgical procedure involving imaging, not a test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description details a "hand held manual instrument designed for grasping and introducing contrast medium for cholangiography." This describes a surgical tool used during a procedure, not a device for analyzing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device is a surgical instrument used for imaging during a procedure.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The New Device and the ENDOPATH* Cholangiography Clamp Predicate Device have identical indications for use. The two devices, in fact, are the same instrument. The New Device and the ENDOPATH* Cholangiography Clamp are designed to grasp and introduce contrast medium into the gallbladder for evaluation of stones, blockage and/or other abnormalities. Both of these devices are intended for use in either minimally invasive or open surgical procedures. The Pre-View Cholangiography Clamp is intended to provide a method of laparoscopic cholangiography.

§ 878.4200 Introduction/drainage catheter and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An introduction/drainage catheter is a device that is a flexible single or multilumen tube intended to be used to introduce nondrug fluids into body cavities other than blood vessels, drain fluids from body cavities, or evaluate certain physiologic conditions. Examples include irrigation and drainage catheters, pediatric catheters, peritoneal catheters (including dialysis), and other general surgical catheters. An introduction/drainage catheter accessory is intended to aid in the manipulation of or insertion of the device into the body. Examples of accessories include adaptors, connectors, and catheter needles.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 878.9.
