Attributes
Software as a Medical Device
Intended Use
The Karl Storz VOICE1® SCB R-UI Speech Control Application is indicated for use in speech control of Karl Storz-designated devices and peripherals in conjunction with the Karl Storz SCB® R-UI software.
Device Story
VOICE1® SCB R-UI Speech Control Application is a software-based tool operating in the background of the Karl Storz SCB R-UI system. It accepts voice commands from the user via microphone input; processes these commands to control endoscopic and ancillary surgical equipment (e.g., light sources, cameras, insufflators, pumps, documentation systems, environmental controls) connected to the SCB network. The device is used in the operating room by surgical staff to adjust device parameters hands-free. By enabling speech-based control, it allows surgeons and staff to manage surgical equipment without manual interaction, potentially improving workflow efficiency and maintaining sterile fields.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and bench testing of the software application.
Technological Characteristics
Software application designed for the Karl Storz OR1® Control Computer and SCB R-UI software. Components include a speech recognition engine, software bus, and graphical/auditory user interfaces. Operates as a networked control system for endoscopic peripherals.
Indications for Use
Indicated for speech control of Karl Storz-approved devices and peripherals in conjunction with Karl Storz SCB® R-UI software in a surgical environment.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.
