No
The description focuses on the electromechanical fragmentation mechanism and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.
Yes
The device is used to crush and remove stones, which is a direct treatment of a medical condition.
No
The device is described as an intracorporeal lithotripter used to fragment and remove stones, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly mentions "Four reusable Probes" and describes an "electromechanical technique" for fragmentation, indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the LITHOSPEC™ Intracorporeal Lithotripter 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body.
- LITHOSPEC™ Function: The LITHOSPEC™ is a device used inside the body (intracorporeal) during surgical procedures to physically break up stones. It directly interacts with the stones within the urinary tract.
The intended use and device description clearly indicate a surgical tool used for mechanical fragmentation of stones within the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The LITHOSPECTM Intracorporeal Lithotripter is intended to be used during urological procedures to crush and remove bladder, ureteral and renal stones.
Product codes
78 FGK, 78 FFK
Device Description
The LITHOSPECTM is a direct contact intracorporeal lithotripter which fragments bladder, ureteral and renal calculi by utilizing direct endoscopic techniques. The electromechanical technique ensures the delivery of high impact mechanical fragmentation power to the stone while eliminating the possibility of thermal injury.
Four reusable Probes, having diameters: 0.8 mm, 1.6 mm, and 2.0 mm, are provided with the system.
The LITHOSPEC™ is operated using standard endoscopic equipment.

§ 876.4480 Electrohydraulic lithotriptor.
(a)
Identification. An electrohydraulic lithotriptor is an AC-powered device used to fragment urinary bladder stones. It consists of a high voltage source connected by a cable to a bipolar electrode that is introduced into the urinary bladder through a cystoscope. The electrode is held against the stone in a water-filled bladder and repeated electrical discharges between the two poles of the electrode cause electrohydraulic shock waves which disintegrate the stone.(b)
Classification. Class II. The special control for this device is FDA's “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Intracorporeal Lithotripters.”

Dear Mr. Spector:
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 probibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
