Intended Use
The Davol AquaSens Fluid Monitoring System 4000 is intended for use in gynecological surgical and diagnostic procedures. The system consolidates the supply and collection of irrigation fluids used during hysteroscopic procedures to distend the uterus and to clear the operative site of blood and debris. The system monitors irrigation fluid losses/gains and indicates when such losses/gains exceed a level pre-set by the surgeon.
Device Description
The major components of the AquaSens FMS 4000 are a load cell assembly which includes an IV pole structure for supporting irrigation bags and fluid suction canisters and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that acquires information from the load cell assembly to calculate and display fluid loss/gain based on changes in total weight after the system is initialized.

No
The description focuses on weight-based fluid monitoring and does not mention AI or ML terms or concepts.

No
The device is described as a fluid monitoring system that calculates and displays fluid loss/gain during hysteroscopic procedures. It does not actively treat or diagnose a medical condition, but rather provides information to the surgeon for monitoring purposes.

No.
The primary function of the device is to monitor irrigation fluid losses/gains during hysteroscopic procedures, which is a supportive role in surgical and diagnostic procedures rather than performing a diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components like a load cell assembly, IV pole structure, and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), indicating it is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Davol AquaSens Fluid Monitoring System 4000 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for monitoring irrigation fluid during gynecological surgical and diagnostic procedures on the patient. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health.
  • Device Description: The device measures the weight of irrigation fluid bags and suction canisters to calculate fluid loss/gain. This is a physical measurement related to the procedure itself, not an analysis of a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or performing tests on specimens.

The device is a surgical accessory used to manage fluids during a procedure performed directly on the patient.

system fluid weight, then converting the information for display through the Electronic Control Unit. However, the predicate device is battery powered, whereas the proposed device is powered by either battery or electricity.

The proposed device has a re-designed way the user changes between the PAUSE and RUN modes. The predicate device utilized a single toggle bar on the top-rear of the Electronic Control Unit to change modes. In the proposed device this toggle bar is eliminated and replaced with two membrane buttons located on the front of the Electronic Control Unit labeled PAUSE and RUN. The proposed device will now allow the user to push the button to select the mode.

G. Performance Data

Laboratory testing was conducted to compare the proposed device to the predicate device. This testing consisted of a weight loss test in the AC, DC and low battery modes and switching characteristics of modes.

Underwriter Laboratories is currently conducting the necessary tests to ensure that this product will comply with the internationally harmonized standard UL 2601-1 for Medical Electrical Equipment. The test results from UL are currently pending, however the proposed device will not be marketed until all necessary test requirements under UL 2601-1 "General Electrical Requirement-Part 1: General Requirements for Safety" are satisfied.

H. Conclusion

Laboratory testing was conducted to compare the proposed device to the predicate device. This testing consisted of a weight loss test in the AC, DC and low battery modes. The test results indicated that both the proposed and predicate device performed within the given specifications under the same test conditions. Based on the above information it can be stated that the proposed AquaSens FMS 4000 is substantially equivalent to the predicate AquaSens FMS 3000.
