No
The document describes a mechanical surgical device and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No.
The device is used for surgical procedures and viewing, which are not therapeutic applications in themselves. While it facilitates therapeutic procedures, the device itself doesn't directly deliver therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is used for "performing diagnostic and surgical procedures."

No

The device description clearly states it is a reusable surgical device incorporating physical components like a working channel, sheath, obturator, and needle portion, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures." This describes a device used directly on the patient's body for visualization and intervention.
  • Device Description: The description details a reusable surgical device with a working channel, sheath, and obturator, designed for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide diagnostic information. IVDs are typically used in a laboratory setting or at the point of care to analyze biological samples.

The device described is a surgical instrument used for direct visualization and intervention within the body, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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.
