The summary explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on visualization and comparison to predicate devices without mentioning advanced processing.
No
The device is described for "visualization inside the human body to view surgical procedure(s)," which is a diagnostic or observational function, not a therapeutic one.
No
Explanation: This device is for visualization during surgical procedures, which is an interventional or procedural use and not a diagnostic function. It helps the physician view the surgical field rather than diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an endoscope, which is a hardware device used for visualization inside the human body.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "visualization inside the human body to view surgical procedure(s)". This is a direct visualization tool used during a medical procedure, not a test performed on a sample (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the endoscope's function for visualization within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is purely for direct visual observation during surgery.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Indications for this device use is when medical practitioner needs visualization in order to view surgical procedures, gaining access either through a natural orifice or incision.

§ 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.

SOLOS ENDOSCOPY feels the Minature endo/Laparoscope listed in this Special 510(k) is Substantially Equivalent, in terms of physical characteristics, to the legally marketed devices already in commercial distribution. These devices are made or specified by, and Imarketed by Solos Endoscopy. Inc., and no less than 20 other companies with similar devices with very similar characteristics. These devices now under commercial distribution are K932987, K931065 and K926166. Others with very similar characteristics are listed and under commercial distribution by Omega, Candela Laser and other manufacturer's, such as, but not limited to; Fujinon, Olympus, Baxter, Stryker, Linvatec, Karl Storz et al. Each markets similar devices.
The design of SOLOS ENDOSCOPY made/marketed endoscopes K971996, K926166 is virtually the same as soopes approved for intended use for the purpose of visualization of surgical procedures. Each 5100k) intended use is tabulated in this document.
The assessment of this device, from, SOLOS ENDOSCOPY'S point of view is as follows: The physical characteristics, except for miniaturization, are virtually the same as approved devices. The intended use of visualization of surgical procedure is virtually identical and each has been accepted with respect to: performance specifications, composition, technology employed, bio-compatibility, manufacturing, OC, physical testing, etc. These above minor changes have no impact on the safe use and/or effectiveness of the device.

Dear Mr. Dias:
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 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 device 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 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.
