Intended Use
The ESHV (Endoscopic Subfascial Harvesting of Veins) instrument set is used for minimally invasive preparation and harvesting of the veins for use in cardiac and vascular surgical procedures. The intervention takes place under sterile conditions. The Veins dissector (stripper) is used for the blunt preparation of tubular structures. specifically for the free-preparation of vessels, e.g. the vein saphena magma. The ESDP (Endoscopic Subfascial Discision of Perforating Veins) instrument set is used for minimally invasive visualization, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures of subfascial veins in the lower extremities, e.g. the saphenous vein. The intervention takes place under sterile conditions.
Device Description
The Instruments for endoscopic subfascial Harvesting of Veins (ESHV) and Endoscopic Subfascial Discision of Perforating Beins (ESDP) consists of operating telescopes, endoscopic operating tubes, laser guide, hook knife, various monopolar and bipolar grasping forceps and scissors, and veins dissector (stripper).
More Information

No
The device description lists standard surgical instruments and there is no mention of AI, ML, or image processing capabilities.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the ESDP instrument set is used for "therapeutic procedures of subfascial veins". Additionally, the devices are used for harvesting veins for surgical procedures, which are therapeutic interventions.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the ESDP instrument set is used for "diagnostic" procedures of subfascial veins.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical instruments such as operating telescopes, endoscopic operating tubes, forceps, and scissors, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this instrument set is used for surgical procedures (harvesting and dissecting veins) that take place within the body (endoscopic subfascial).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for minimally invasive preparation and harvesting of veins for surgical procedures, and for visualization, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures of subfascial veins. These are all in vivo (within the living organism) procedures.
  • Device Components: The components listed (telescopes, operating tubes, forceps, scissors, dissector) are surgical instruments, not diagnostic reagents or analyzers used for testing samples.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of surgical instruments used for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures performed directly on the patient, not for testing samples in a laboratory setting.

§ 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.
