Intended Use

The Smith & Nephew Operative Hysteroscope and accessories are used to permit viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures.

Device Description

The proposed Smith & Nephew Operative Hysteroscope and Accessories is a reusable surgical device that incorporates a working channel into the needle portion of the hysteroscope. A reusable continuous flow sheath and blunt obturator are offered for atraumatic insertion through the uterine cervix. The needle portion of the hysteroscope has an oval configuration to accommodate adequate fluid flow between the sheath and hysteroscope. The working channel is D-shaped to accommodate the fiber bundles and optical train in the needle. The Smith & Nephew Operative Hysteroscope is compatible with the ETO and autoclave sterilization process. The device accessories can be autoclaved for reuse.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Smith & Nephew Operative Hysteroscope and Accessories. It describes the device and its intended use, and states that it is substantially equivalent to predicate devices. However, this document does not contain any information about acceptance criteria, device performance studies, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or comparative effectiveness studies (MRMC or standalone AI performance).

The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing legally marketed devices (predicates) rather than providing detailed performance data from new studies. The critical information required to answer your questions about acceptance criteria and study details is explicitly missing from this type of regulatory document.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions based on the provided text. The document states: "Smith & Nephew's Operative Hysteroscope and accessories is substantially equivalent in design, materials of construction, function and intended use to the Smith & Nephew Images Hysteroscopes and accessories and the Richard Wolf operative Hysteroscopes. The changes in geometry do not introduce any new risks to the proposed device." This indicates that the regulatory approval is based on equivalence to existing devices, not on a new clinical study with new acceptance criteria.

Dear Ms. Haselton:

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 additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

{3}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification.
