Intended Use
The Digital RGB and 3-Chip Digital RGB Endoscopic Cameras are intended to attach to standard commercially available endoscopes for visualization of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals.
Device Description
The Genzyme Surgical Products Digital RGB and 3-Chip Digital RGB Endoscopic Cameras are designed to provide a picture of the surgical field during endoscopic procedures. The Digital RGB and 3-Chip Digital RGB Endoscopic Cameras take the image that would be normally seen by the naked eye, and displays it on a color monitor. The Digital RGB and 3-Chip Digital RGB Endoscopic Cameras provide imaging through standard, commercially available, legally marketed endoscopes. The Digital RGB and the 3-Chip Digital RGB Endoscopic Cameras both consist of a Camera head, camera control box, and camera cable, camera cable connector soaking cap and coupler accessories. A coupler couples the camera head to the commercially available endoscope.

No
The document describes standard image processing techniques (contrast enhancement, edge correction) and does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as an endoscopic camera system intended for visualization of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals during endoscopic procedures, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It provides images of the surgical field and is used in conjunction with endoscopes.

No

This device is an endoscopic camera system used for visualization during endoscopic procedures, providing images of body cavities to be displayed on a monitor. It does not perform analysis or interpretation of the images to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device consists of hardware components including a camera head, camera control box, camera cable, and coupler accessories.

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 of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals" during endoscopic procedures. This is a direct visualization of the internal anatomy of a living patient.
  • Device Description: The device description reinforces this by stating it provides a "picture of the surgical field" and displays what would normally be seen by the naked eye.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body. IVDs are specifically designed for testing samples in vitro (in glass or in a lab setting).
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites mentioned are within the living body.

IVDs are used to diagnose diseases or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. This device is for direct visualization during a procedure, not for analyzing samples to make a diagnosis.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. McNamara-Cullinane:

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.
