No
The summary only describes a rigid arthroscope for illumination and visualization, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other features indicative of AI/ML technology.

No
The device is described as providing illumination and visualization for diagnostic and operative arthroscopic procedures, which points to it being a diagnostic or surgical tool rather than directly therapeutic.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is indicated for "Diagnostic and operative arthroscope procedures."

No

The device is described as a rigid arthroscope, which is a physical medical device used for visualization. The summary does not mention any software component as the primary or sole function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "Diagnostic and operative arthroscope procedures." This involves visualizing structures within the body (in vivo) during a medical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside the body.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis based on laboratory tests.

Arthroscopes are medical devices used for direct visualization of joints during surgical or diagnostic procedures, which is an in vivo application, not an in vitro one.

Dear Ms. Butler:

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.
