More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a robotic surgical system for controlling standard endoscopic instruments. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on the mechanical control of instruments.

No
The device is intended to assist in the accurate control of endoscopic instruments during laparoscopic surgical procedures, performing actions like grasping, cutting, and suturing. It is a surgical tool, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease state, nor does it restore a bodily function.

No

Explanation: The da Vinci™ System is described as a control system for surgical instruments used during laparoscopic procedures. Its purpose is to assist in the "accurate control" of instruments for actions like "grasping, cutting, blunt and sharp dissection, approximation, ligation, electrocautery and suturing." These are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones. The text does not mention any function for detecting, identifying, or monitoring diseases or health conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it includes "working ends and elements" of surgical instruments, which are physical hardware components. The system is also described as an "Endoscopic Instrument Control System," implying control over physical instruments.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the da Vinci System and its instruments are used to assist in the control of endoscopic instruments and for endoscopic manipulation of tissue during laparoscopic surgical procedures. This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for surgical intervention.
  • 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. The da Vinci system does not perform such tests.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the surgical tools and their modification for use with the control system, not on any diagnostic testing components.

The information provided consistently points to a surgical device used for performing procedures on a patient, not a device used for analyzing samples outside the body.

§ 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.
