Device Description

The Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler is a brush assembly fitted inside a shaft. A coaxial sheath promotes sample protection and there are positioning marks on the end of the shaft. The brush head procures and adequate representative sample of the endometrial and the tip protects the patient from abrasion. The devices are provided sterile and are intended for one time use.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) submission for the Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler. However, it does not contain specific details about acceptance criteria, a dedicated study proving device performance against such criteria, sample sizes for test or training sets, data provenance, expert qualifications for ground truth, adjudication methods, or MRMC comparative effectiveness studies. The submission states that "Biocompatibility, sterility and performance testing were performed in accordance to Food and Drug Administration guidance's and recognized international standards. Testing data and information is included in this submission," but the actual data and methodology are not included in the provided snippets.

Therefore, the following information is based only on what is explicitly stated or can be inferred from the provided text. Many fields will be marked as "Not provided in the text."


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Note: The provided text does not explicitly define specific performance acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy thresholds) or present a table of reported device performance against such criteria for the Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler. It generally states that "performance testing" was conducted.

CategoryAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
BiocompatibilityNot explicitly stated (implied: compliance with FDA guidance and international standards)Performed (details not provided)
SterilityNot explicitly stated (implied: compliance with FDA guidance and international standards)Performed (details not provided)
Performance (general sampling efficacy)Not explicitly stated (implied: adequate representative sample retrieval)"procures an adequate representative sample of the endometrial" (from device description); Performance testing performed (details not provided)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not provided.
  • Data Provenance: Not provided. The text only states that testing was performed, but doesn't mention the country of origin of data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Number of Experts: Not provided.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not provided.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Adjudication Method: Not provided.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • MRMC Study: No. This device is an endometrial sampler, a physical medical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not applicable.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Standalone Study: Not applicable. This is a physical sampling device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • Type of Ground Truth: Not explicitly stated for performance testing. Given the device's purpose ("used to obtain endometrial cytological and histological samples"), the ground truth for evaluating sampling efficacy would typically involve laboratory analysis (e.g., pathology reports) of the procured samples, but this is an inference, not directly stated.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established: Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI algorithm.

Trade Name:Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler
Proposed Classification Name:Brush, Endometrial21 CFR Part 884.1100Class II, HFE

Predicate Devices:

The Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler is identical to the Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler (version 1, K941298) in design, materials of construction, and cytological sampling. The Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler is similar to the Pipelle™ by CooperSurgical (K881456), in regards to histological sampling.

Device Description:

The Tao Brush™ I.U.M.C. Endometrial Sampler is a brush assembly fitted inside a shaft. A coaxial sheath promotes sample protection and there are positioning marks on the end of the shaft. The brush head procures and adequate representative sample of the endometrial and the tip protects the patient from abrasion. The devices are provided sterile and are intended for one time use.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Cook® Cervical Ripening Balloon is comparable with respect to intended use to the published predicate device description and meets the requirements for 510(k) substantial equivalence.

Test Data:

Biocompatibility, sterility and performance testing were performed in accordance to Food and Drug Administration guidance's and recognized international standards. Testing data and information is included in this submission.

Dear Ms. Foote:

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.
