Intended Use
The Transvaginal Endoscope (TVE) and Accessories are indicated for use to provide video visual access for endoscopic examination of the vagina, cervix and uterus, and through transvaginal access, allow visualization of both fallopian tubes and the ovaries to perform diagnostic and operative procedures. Specific Indications for Use - Unexplained pelvic pain (acute, chronic) . - . Menstrual abnormalities; - Infertility and sterility; . - Indefinite pelvic mass; . - Ectopic pregnancy; ● - . Pelvic endometriosis; - Polycystic ovaries: . - . Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); - . Pain mapping: - Congenital abnormalities of the pelvic organs; . - Lysis of adhesions: . - Cytology mapping; . - . Biopsy. The TVE Set is indicated for use by qualified surgeons during outpatient or clinical endoscopic examination of the female genital tract. This examination method is designed to provide video visual access for endoscopic examination of the vagina, cervix and uterus, and through transvaginal access, allow visualization of both fallopian tubes and the ovaries to perform diagnostic and operative procedures. Indications for use are: - Unexplained pelvic pain (acute, chronic) . - . Menstrual abnormalities; - Infertility and sterility: . - . Indefinite pelvic mass; - Ectopic pregnancy; . - Pelvic endometriosis; . - Polycystic ovaries: . - Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); ● - Pain mapping: ● - .

Device Description
The Transvaginal Endoscope Set is comprised of a rigid, panoramic telescope, which utilizes rod lens technology, and several tubular stainless steel components. The body contact portions of the components are manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel, which is commonly used in medical devices for a wide range of applications and has a long history of biocompatibility for human use.

No
The description focuses on the physical components and intended use of a rigid endoscope, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities, image processing, or related performance metrics.

No
The device is described as an endoscope for visual examination and diagnostic or operative procedures, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is used to "perform diagnostic and operative procedures" and lists numerous conditions for which it is indicated, such as "Unexplained pelvic pain," "Menstrual abnormalities," "Infertility and sterility," and "Indefinite pelvic mass," all of which imply a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a rigid, panoramic telescope and tubular stainless steel components, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze specimens taken from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that the Transvaginal Endoscope (TVE) is used for direct visualization within the female genital tract (vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries). It provides video visual access for examination and procedures performed in situ.
  • The device description focuses on the physical components for visualization. It describes a rigid telescope and stainless steel components, which are typical of endoscopic devices used for direct internal examination.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The indications for use describe conditions and procedures that are diagnosed and performed through direct visual inspection and potentially biopsy (which is a procedure to obtain a sample, not the analysis of the sample itself by this device).

Therefore, the Transvaginal Endoscope is an in vivo diagnostic and operative device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 884.1640 Culdoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A culdoscope is a device designed to permit direct viewing of the organs within the peritoneum by a telescopic system introduced into the pelvic cavity through the posterior vaginal fornix. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures on the female genital organs. This generic type of device may include trocar and cannula, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheaters, light source and cables, and component parts.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for culdoscope accessories that are not part of a specialized instrument or device delivery system; do not have adapters, connectors, channels, or do not have portals for electrosurgical, laser, or other power sources. Such culdoscope accessory instruments include: lens cleaning brush, biopsy brush, clip applier (without clips), applicator, cannula (without trocar or valves), ligature carrier/needle holder, clamp/hemostat/grasper, curette, instrument guide, ligature passing and knotting instrument, suture needle (without suture), retractor, mechanical (noninflatable), snare, stylet, forceps, dissector, mechanical (noninflatable) scissors, and suction/irrigation probe. 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.

Dear Ms. Fernandez:

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 such additional controls.
