No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the device description is basic video imaging.

No
The device is described as assisting in the observation and recording of surgical procedures, which are diagnostic and procedural support functions, not direct therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described as assisting in the observation and recording of surgical procedures, indicating it is an imaging system for visualization during surgery rather than for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states "S 41 & S 41 S Video Imaging Systems," which implies hardware components are included. The reference to predicate devices like those from Circon/ACMI, Storz, Stryker, Smith & Nephew, and Olympus, which are known manufacturers of surgical video imaging systems (including hardware), further supports this conclusion.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "Assist in the observation and recording of surgical procedures performed in body cavities, hollow organs and canals." This describes a device used during a surgical procedure to visualize and document the internal anatomy.
  • Device Description: The device is a "Video Imaging System." This further supports its role in visualization during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any interaction with specimens or diagnostic purposes based on analyzing biological samples.

The device described is a surgical imaging system, which is a different category of medical device than 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.

510(k) Summary

SOPRO feels the S 41 & S 41 S Video Imaging Systems are substantially equivalent to the many marketed devices already in commercial distribution. The legally marketed devices already in commercial distribution are : Circon/ACMI, Storz, Stryker, Smith & Nephew and Olympus, just to name a few.

The design of the S 41 & S41S is virtually identical to the comparative devices, which are listed and displayed in Exhibit 2 and 3. Since the design is comparable, technology virtually identical, the specifications very similar, and the intended use the sames, SOPRO feels that these minors differences have no impact on the safe use and/or effectiveness of the device.

For information purposes and completeness, SOPRO has also incorporated other legally marketed devices in this filling to illustrate the wide general use of similar other devices. This wide use had led us to the safe use of this device in many practitioner's hands.

Dear Mr. Montillot:

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, market the device, 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 II (Special Controls) or 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 requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) 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
