No
The description focuses on the pneumatic mechanism for stone fragmentation and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as a pneumatic lithotriptor intended for the fragmentation of renal and lower ureteral calculi, which directly treats a medical condition.
No
The device description and intended use state that the Karl Storz Calcusplit system is used for the fragmentation of renal and lower ureteral calculi, not for diagnosing them.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "pneumatic lithotriptor" that uses "pneumatic energy converted to mechanical energy" to disintegrate calculi. This clearly describes a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Karl Storz Calcusplit system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for the "pneumatic fragmentation of renal and lower ureteral calculi" and "intracorporeal fragmentation of lower ureter and renal calculi." This describes a procedure performed within the body (intracorporeal) to break up stones.
- Device Description: The description details a "pneumatic lithotriptor" that uses "pneumatic energy converted to mechanical energy to disintegrate calculi." This is a physical process applied directly to the stones inside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. The provided information does not mention any analysis of biological samples or diagnostic purposes.
The Karl Storz Calcusplit system is a therapeutic device used for a surgical procedure.

Device Description
The Karl Storz Calcusplit is a pneumatic lithotriptor designed for the pneumatic fragmentation of urinary calculi. The Calcusplit system uses pneumatic energy converted to mechanical energy to disintegrate calculi. The force of the mechanical energy provided by this device is sufficient to fragment calculi of most sizes and composition.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Bench testing of probe endurance and tissue effects was conducted and demonstrated that the safety and effectiveness of the Calcusplit system was no worse than the safety and efficacy for the EMS Swiss Lithotriptor. An unmasked and self-controlled multicenter clinical trial of the Calcusplit system for fragmentation of lower ureter and renal stones was also conducted.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench testing of probe endurance and tissue effects was conducted and demonstrated that the safety and effectiveness of the Calcusplit system was no worse than the safety and efficacy for the EMS Swiss Lithotriptor. An unmasked and self-controlled multi-center clinical trial of the Calcusplit system for fragmentation of lower ureter and renal stones was also conducted. The study demonstrated that the safety and effectiveness of the Calcusplit system in fragmenting lower ureter (ureteroscopic approach) and renal stones (percutaneous approach) was no worse than the safety and efficacy for the EMS Swiss Lithoclast Lithotriptor.

§ 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.”

Indication: The Karl Storz Calcusplit system is intended for use by qualified surgeons and provides for the pneumatic fragmentation of renal and lower ureteral calculi.
Predicate: EMS Swiss Lithoclast Lithotriptor
Device Description: The Karl Storz Calcusplit is a pneumatic lithotriptor designed for the pneumatic fragmentation of urinary calculi. The Calcusplit system uses pneumatic energy converted to mechanical energy to disintegrate calculi. The force of the mechanical energy provided by this device is sufficient to fragment calculi of most sizes and composition.
Substantial Equivalence: The Karl Storz Calcusplit is substantially equivalent to the EMS Swiss Lithoclast currently marketed by Boston Scientific Corporation (K951531 and K963285); the Karl Storz Calcusplit has the same intended use as the predicate Swiss Lithoclast and has the same technological characteristics as the predicate Swiss Lithoclast. Both the Calcusplit and the Lithoclast systems use compressed air and direct contact, rigid probes to fragment urinary tract stones under direct vision endoscopic control.
Bench testing of probe endurance and tissue effects was conducted and demonstrated that the safety and effectiveness of the Calcusplit system was no worse than the safety and efficacy for the EMS Swiss Lithotriptor. An unmasked and self-controlled multi-center

Dear Mr. Kennan:
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 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 Ouality 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 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
