Intended Use
The Cervilenz Measuring Sound is used for measuring the depth and/or length of the uterus, cervix and vagina.
Device Description
The Cervilenz Measuring Sound is a single use, disposable device used for measuring the depth and/or length of the uterus, cervix and vagina. The operating principle of the Cervilenz Measuring Sound is the same as that of cleared, commercially-available uterine sounds, and is based on insertion of the device into the cervical canal in order to obtain measurements. The Cervilenz Measuring Sound is fabricated from medical grade plastics of known biocompatibility and with a history of human use.
More Information

No
The description focuses on a physical measuring device and its equivalence to existing manual uterine sounds, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

No
The device is used for measuring purposes only and does not provide any treatment or therapy.

No

The device is described as a measuring sound used to determine the depth and/or length of anatomical structures. It is not described as identifying, evaluating, or predicting a medical condition or disease, which are characteristics of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "single use, disposable device" fabricated from "medical grade plastics," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Cervilenz Measuring Sound is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Cervilenz Function: The Cervilenz Measuring Sound is a physical device used for measuring the depth and/or length of the uterus, cervix, and vagina. It is inserted into the body to obtain a physical measurement.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. It is a direct measurement tool.

Therefore, the Cervilenz Measuring Sound falls under the category of a medical device used for physical measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Cervilenz Measuring Sound was found to perform equivalently to commercially-available uterine sounds when evaluated for accuracy and reproducibility of measurements. Thus, the technological changes in the Cervilenz Uterine Sound do not raise any new issues of safety, effectiveness or performance of the product.

§ 884.4530 Obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument.

(a)
Identification. 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.
