No
The summary describes a manually operated, rigid endoscope with rod lens technology, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is for "performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures."

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the KSEA DCI Endoscope is indicated for "performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures."

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a rigid, panoramic telescope utilizing rod lens technology and made of surgical grade stainless steel, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • KSEA DCI Endoscope Function: The description clearly states the KSEA DCI Endoscope is used for viewing the ventricles of the brain and performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures directly within the body. It's a surgical instrument used for direct visualization and intervention, not for testing samples taken from the body.

The information provided about the device's intended use, device description, and anatomical site all point to it being an in vivo (within the body) surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Karl Storz Direct Coupled Interface (DCI) Endoscope |

Indication: The KSEA DCI Endoscope is indicated for viewing the ventricles of the brain and performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Device Description: The KSEA DCI Endoscope is comprised of a rigid, panoramic telescope which utilizes rod lens technology. The body contact portions of the KSEA DCI Endoscope are composed of surgical grade stainless steel, which is commonly used in medical devices for a wide range of applications and has a long history of biocompatibility for human use.

Substantial Equivalence: The KSEA DCI Endoscope is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since the basic features, design and intended uses are the same. The minor differences between the KSEA DCI Endoscope and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these design differences have no affect on the performance, function or intended use of the devices.

Dear Mr. Kennan:

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.
