Staol Laminaria Tents
Not Found
No
The device description details a physical, hygroscopic dilator made from seaweed, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is used to dilate the cervical canal for various medical procedures, directly impacting the body's function for a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to dilate the cervical canal for various medical procedures, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical, single-use device made from seaweed (laminaria digitata) and includes physical dimensions and a string for removal. It is a hygroscopic cervical dilator, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device 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.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a physical dilator inserted into the cervical canal to stretch it open. It is a mechanical device used in vivo (within the body), not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a sample.
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed (Uterine curettage, Labor induction, IUD placement and removal, Radium placement) are all procedures that involve physically manipulating or accessing the cervical canal, not analyzing a biological sample.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for a physical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Laminaria is intended for use whenever it is desirable to dilate the cervical canal, such as Uterine curettage, Labor induction, IUD placement and removal, and Radium placement
LAMINARIA IS INDICATED FOR USE WHENEVER IT IS DESIRABLE TO DILATE THE CERVICAL CANAL, SUCH AS UTERINE CURETTAGE , LABOR INDULTION, IUD AND PLACE MENT KADIUM REHOVAL

Device Description
This single use device is a hygroscopic laminaria cervical dilator designed to dilate (stretch open) the cervical os by cervical insertion of a cylindrical and expansible material into the cervical canal, made from the root of a seaweed (laminaria digitata). Laminaria expands when it absorbs moisture.
The ability to increase in size slowly (usually 6 to 24 hours) is of advantage in physiologically dilating a closed body orifice such as the cervical canal. When used improperly, it may cause the patient major discomfort or uterine complications
Laminaria is available in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 mm diameter sizes with a length varving between 50 and 65 mm. Each laminaria is drilled and attached to a 75-95 mm string to facilitate removal from the cervical canal (the last digit of the product code reflects its size)

Dear Mr. Mansour:
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
