Intended Use

The Universal Operating Hysteroscope Set is used for dilating the cervical channel, the cavum uteris (using fluid or CO2 gas), and for visualization of the tubal ostia. The scope is applied via the natural passage.

Device Description

The universal operating hysteroscope set has exchangeable inner sheaths that are inserted into the endoscope containing an angled eyepiece. The endoscope tube consists only of the pure optical system with the light fibers. This allows enough room for various inner sheaths with the operating channel, combined with outer sheaths. The submitted universal hysteroscope set is an inexpensive alternative for compact instruments for outpatient gynecologists.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text indicates that no clinical tests were performed to prove the device meets acceptance criteria. Therefore, the following information cannot be extracted from the given document:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
  • Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
  • Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications
  • Adjudication method for the test set
  • If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, or the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
  • If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
  • The type of ground truth used
  • The sample size for the training set
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established

Instead, the document states:

5.0 Performance Data

No performance standards are known.

6.0 Clinical Tests

No clinical tests performed.

7.0 Conclusions Drawn

These devices are designed and tested to guarantee the safety and effectiveness, when used according to the instructions manual.

This indicates that the device's safety and effectiveness were established through design and engineering tests (not specified in detail) and by claiming substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than through specific performance metrics derived from a clinical study.

1.0 Description

The universal operating hysteroscope set has exchangeable inner sheaths that are inserted into the endoscope containing an angled eyepiece. The endoscope tube consists only of the pure optical system with the light fibers. This allows enough room for various inner sheaths with the operating channel, combined with outer sheaths. The submitted universal hysteroscope set is an inexpensive alternative for compact instruments for outpatient gynecologists.

2.0 Intended Use

The Universal Operating Hysteroscope Set is used for dilating the cervical channel, the cavum uteris (using fluid or CO2 gas), and for visualization of the tubal ostia. The scope is applied via the natural passage.

Technological Characteristics 3.0

The advantage of the exchangeable inner sheaths is that the same endoscope, which is the part with the highest costs, can be used for various applications with optimized outer diameter, when changing only the inner sheath with the associated outer sheath. Due to the angled eyepiece, the insertion of the instruments is straight. This implies more user comfort.

A silicate image bundle is used instead of rod lens system to attain a bright picture with a small diameter of optical system. In addition the optical system is more flexible and the risk of rupture of the optical system is reduced.

The various inner sheaths with their associated outer sheaths (color coded) are connected to the endoscope by automatic snap-in locking mechanism, which facilitates the connection of the sheath to the insert. Due to the channel in the inner sheaths, the combination can be used with intermittent irrigation or also with continuous flow irrigation, if they have an additional channel in the outer sheath.

The automatic silicone diaphragm valve at the instrument port allows single-handed operation.

4.0 Substantial Equivalence

The submitted devices pose the same type of questions about safety or effectiveness as the compared devices and the new technological characteristics have not diminished safety or effectiveness. The submitted devices are substantially equivalent to existing preamendment and 510(k)-devices sold by Richard Wolf and competitors.

5.0 Performance Data

No performance standards are known.

Dear Mr. Casarsa:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
