The summary describes a physical device for collecting cervical cytology specimens and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML components.
No
The device is described as intended for the "collection of cervical cytology specimens for Pap test analysis," which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic treatment.
No
Explanation: This device is for the collection of cervical cytology specimens for Pap test analysis. It is a collection tool, not a device that directly diagnoses a condition. The Pap test analysis, which uses the collected specimen, is what provides diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a balloon and handle made of medical-grade silicone, indicating it is a hardware device for specimen collection.
Based on the provided information, the InPath™ e² Collector™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is intended for the collection of cervical cytology specimens. It is a tool used to gather the sample, not to perform the diagnostic test itself.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and function of the device for collecting cells. It does not describe any reagents, assays, or analytical processes that would be characteristic of an IVD.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: An IVD is a device intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures. The InPath™ e² Collector™ does not perform any of these diagnostic functions. It is a sample collection device.
- Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed (Digene Cervical Brush and Rovers Cervex-Brush) are also sample collection devices, not IVDs.
The InPath™ e² Collector™ is a medical device used in the process of obtaining a sample that will then be analyzed using an IVD (the Pap test analysis).
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The InPath™ e2 Collector™ is intended for the collection of cervical cytology specimens for Pap test analysis. The InPath™ e2 Collector™ should not be used after the first 10 weeks of gestation in pregnant patients.

Device Description
The InPath e2 Collector (e2 Collector) is a multi-component assembly for the collection and transport of exfoliated cervical epithelial cells. The major e2 Collector components are a balloon that provides the conformal surface upon which the cells are collected, and a handle that provides a means of manipulating and expanding the balloon during the sampling process. The balloon consists of a medical grade silicone and colorant. The tip of the balloon is designed to be expanded during sampling by at least a factor of two over its resting diameter to accommodate the range of endocervical canal diameters commonly encountered in clinical practice. The body of the balloon is sized to collect cells from an area of the ectocervix, centered on the cervical canal, which is approximately 23 mm-diameter. The balloon tip measures about 3 mm in diameter, and 12 mm in length when uninflated, and it can be introduced without difficulty to the endocervix.

§ 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.

Conclusion:
The InPath™ e2 Collector™ is intended for the collection of cervical cytology specimens for Pap test analysis. The InPath™ e2 Collector™ should not be used after the first 10 weeks of gestation in pregnant patients.
Representative samples of InPath™ e2 Collectors underwent design testing to demonstrate substantially equivalent functional characteristics. In addition, manufacturing process testing is done to assure that the devices produced meet design requirements.
The InPath™ e2 Collector™ manufactured by Molecular Diagnostics, Inc. is substantially equivalent to the Digene Cervical Brush from the Digene Corporation (K971586) and the Rovers Cervex-Brush (K930955). This conclusion is based upon the fact that these devices have essentially identical indications for use, substantially equivalent principles of operation, and clinical trial results that demonstrate performance equal to, or better than, the predicate devices.
