No
The summary describes a system of mechanical instruments and an endoscope for surgical procedures, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.
Yes
The device's intended use explicitly states "therapeutic general endoscopy and laparoscopy surgery," and its components are described as performing actions like cutting, manipulating, grasping, and cauterizing tissue.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use in adult and pediatric diagnostic and therapeutic general endoscopy and laparoscopy surgery." The "Device Description" also mentions the endoscope is "used to examine body cavities, hollow organs and canals, and using additional accessories, to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures."
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a trocar, an endoscope, and modular instruments.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the Aesculap's Needlescopic Instrument System clearly indicate that it is used for surgical procedures performed inside the body (in vivo). It involves inserting instruments and an endoscope into body cavities for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
The device is a surgical instrument system, not a diagnostic test performed on samples.

78KOG, GCJ
Device Description
The system consists of three primary components: a 2.5mm trocar, a 2.0mm endoscope, and 2.5mm modular instruments. The N.I.S. trocar is intended to establish ports through which endoscopes and endoscopic instruments pass into the abdominal cavity. The N.I.S. endoscope is used to examine body cavities, hollow organs and canals, and using additional accessories, to perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The N.I.S. instruments are used to cut, manipulate, grasp and/or cauterize selected tissue.

§ 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.

AESCULAP NEEDLESCOPIC INSTRUMENT SYSTEM
Summary of Technological Characteristics
Aesculap currently markets a complete endoscopic product line which includes endoscopes and modular trocars and instruments. The Needlescopic Instrument System does not impart any new technological characteristics from the current system other than the reduction in diameter size of the devices.
Performance Data

Dear Ms. Jones:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are 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 these devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices 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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) 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 devices 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 devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your devices as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your devices and thus, permits your devices to proceed to the market.
