No
The description focuses on manual operation and fiber-optic technology, with no mention of AI, ML, or image processing that would typically indicate AI/ML involvement.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device can "perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures" using additional accessories.

Yes

The intended use explicitly states the device is designed for "examination" of various anatomical sites and to perform "various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures." Examination and diagnostic procedures are core functions of diagnostic devices.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "manually operated surgical device" and a "flexible fiberoptic telescope," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. They perform tests outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that these are flexible fiberoptic telescopes used for the direct examination of internal anatomical sites (nasal sinuses, larynx, pharynx, bronchi) within the patient's body. They are used for visualization and potentially performing procedures in vivo.

The device's function is to visualize internal structures directly, not to analyze samples taken from the body. Therefore, it falls under the category of a medical device used for examination and procedures, not an IVD.

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 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 Ouality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (2) 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 question and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/odrh/dsmaldsmamain.html".
