Intended Use

FemVue® Controlled Saline-Air Device is intended to instill a consistent alternating pattern of saline and air as a continuous stream of contrast media into the uterus and fallopian tubes to be used in conjunction with an intrauterine catheter for performance of sono-hysterosalpingogram (Sono HSG).

Device Description

The FemVue® Controlled Saline-Air Device is a sterile dual-barrel contrast media syringe that is connected to an intrauterine catheter to instill saline-air contrast medium as part of a sono-hysterosalpingogram (Sono-HSG) procedure. Ultrasound of the fallopian tubes can be performed with or without assessment of the uterine cavity.

The device operates by retraction of the plunger, which simultaneously fills the two syringes in the device with either air or saline. The device is then connected to a compatible uterine catheter and when the plunger is depressed, a consistent stream of saline and air is delivered into the uterus and fallopian tubes. The device is provided sterile via ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization and is intended for single-use.

Contrast Viewing WindowContrast bubbles viewed through neck of luerContrast bubbles viewed through window in deviceDifferent: The different viewing location of the contrast bubbles do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Both the subject device and predicate device are a dual-barrel contrast media syringe intended to instill a consistent alternating pattern of saline and air as a continuous stream of contrast media through a connected intrauterine catheter into the uterus and fallopian tubes for performance of sono-hysterosalpingogram (Sono HSG) procedure. Both devices designed and manufactured by Femasys Inc. are of the same materials and are fundamental design, are single use only and sterilized via ethylene oxide (EO).

The subject does not have a viewing window, unlike the predicate device, but has the same design as the FDA cleared FemVue (K110288) and FemVue MINI (K242002) devices, with the same intended use. The difference does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

VII. SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

The following studies have been performed to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Due to the similar device design and packaging, test methods and data from the predicate device are leveraged to support the subject device:

  • Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Validation testing per:

    • ISO 11135:2014
    • AAMI TIR 28:2016
    • ISO 10993-7: 2008

An obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument is one of a group of devices used during obstetric-gynecologic procedures to perform manipulative diagnostic and surgical functions (e.g., dilating, grasping, measuring, and scraping), where structural integrity is the chief criterion of device performance. This type of device consists of the following:(1) An amniotome is an instrument used to rupture the fetal membranes.
(2) A circumcision clamp is an instrument used to compress the foreskin of the penis during circumcision of a male infant.
(3) An umbilical clamp is an instrument used to compress the umbilical cord.
(4) A uterine curette is an instrument used to scrape and remove material from the uterus.
(5) A fixed-size cervical dilator is any of a series of bougies of various sizes used to dilate the cervical os by stretching the cervix.
(6) A uterine elevator is an instrument inserted into the uterus used to lift and manipulate the uterus.
(7) A gynecological surgical forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used to pull, grasp, or compress during gynecological examination.
(8) A cervical cone knife is a cutting instrument used to excise and remove tissue from the cervix.
(9) A gynecological cerclage needle is a looplike instrument used to suture the cervix.
(10) A hook-type contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) remover is an instrument used to remove an IUD from the uterus.
(11) A gynecological fibroid screw is an instrument used to hold onto a fibroid.
(12) A uterine sound is an instrument used to determine the depth of the uterus by inserting it into the uterine cavity.
(13) A cytological cervical spatula is a blunt instrument used to scrape and remove cytological material from the surface of the cervix or vagina.
(14) A gynecological biopsy forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used for gynecological biopsy procedures.
(15) A uterine tenaculum is a hooklike instrument used to seize and hold the cervix or fundus.
(16) An internal pelvimeter is an instrument used within the vagina to measure the diameter and capacity of the pelvis.
(17) A nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument used to expose the interior of the vagina.
(18) A fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument, with fiberoptic light, used to expose and illuminate the interior of the vagina.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an umbilical clamp with or without a cutter, a uterine tenaculum which is sterile and does not use suction and is intended for single use, a nonmetal vaginal speculum, or a fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.(2) Class I for the amniotome, uterine curette, cervical dilator (fixed-size bougies), cerclage needle, IUD remover, uterine sound, and gynecological biopsy forceps. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 884.9.
