No
The device description focuses on the mechanical and optical components of a flexible fiberscope and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device is used for examination and diagnosis, and for therapy in connection with accessories. However, the device itself is not a therapeutic device, but rather provides a means for therapeutic procedures to be performed through it.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is used for "examination, diagnosis, and / or therapy".
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a flexible insertion part, control part, eyepiece, working channel, and tip sheath, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "examine body cavities and hollow organs via natural accesses or surgically created accesses" for "examination, diagnosis, and / or therapy". This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for direct visualization and intervention.
- Device Description: The description details a flexible fiberscope with an insertion part, control part, eyepiece, and working channel. These are components of an endoscopic device used for internal examination and procedures.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any analysis on specimens outside the body.
The device is clearly an endoscope, which is a type of medical device used for internal examination and procedures, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The flexible fiberscopes are used to examine body cavities and hollow organs via natural accesses or surgically created accesses.
For examination, diagnosis, and / or therapy in connection with endoscopic accessories and auxiliary instruments, in particular, for intracorporal flexible lithotripsy probes, e.g., of the instrument auxiliary instruments, in particular, for intracorporal into the working channel of the instrument.
The instruments are used in the medical disciplines of urology, surgery, gynecology, and ENT by adequately trained medical personnel. Applications to the heart, and the circulatory systems are excluded.
Important! Product dimensions must correspond to the anatomic requirements, i.e., use the flexible fiberscope appropriate to the medical discipline.

Device Description
The flexible fiberscopes consist of a flexible insertion part, a control part, a bent eyepiece for direct view or connection of a video camera and straight working channel, especially for the use with lithotripsy probes.
The tip of the sheath has an active 130° / 160° up/down. The image is transmitted via objective, fiber bendle and eyepiece for direct view or connection of a video camera. The straight working channel is used for procedures such as lithotripsy and biopsy removal while simultaneously providing irrigation. The bent eyepiece funnel can be moved to the right or left. Auxiliary instruments, such as gaping forceps, sone extractors, or HF button electrodes are inserted by a proximal mounted insertion cock with supply and discharge. A leakage test unit or a gas sterilization valve can be connected to an attachment of the fiberscope.

§ 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.

2.0 Intended Use
The flexible fiberscopes are used to examine body cavities and hollow organs via natural accesses or surgically created accesses.
3.0 Technological Characteristics
There are no significant technological characteristic changes to the new devices when compared to the existing devices.
The tip of the sheath has an active 130° / 160° up/down. The image is transmitted via objective, fiber bendle and eyepiece for direct view or connection of a video camera. The straight working channel is used for procedures such as lithotripsy and biopsy removal while simultaneously providing irrigation. The bent eyepiece funnel can be moved to the right or left. Auxiliary instruments, such as gaping forceps, sone extractors, or HF button electrodes are inserted by a proximal mounted insertion cock with supply and discharge. A leakage test unit or a gas sterilization valve can be connected to an attachment of the fiberscope.
