Based on the provided information, the PapCone® is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device itself.
Here's why:
- Definition of IVD: An IVD device is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
- PapCone's Function: The PapCone® is a specimen collection device. Its purpose is to collect exfoliated cervical cells.
- Analysis Method: The collected cells are then analyzed by Pap smear methods. The Pap smear analysis itself is the in vitro diagnostic procedure, not the collection device.
The PapCone® is a tool used in conjunction with an IVD procedure (the Pap smear analysis), but it is not the IVD device itself.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
PapCone® is a medical device intended for the collection of exfoliated cervical cells for analysis by Pap smear methods. The PapCone is not intended for use in pregnant women.

Device Description
The PapCone® consists of an axially symmetric polystyrene grip with a round platform carrying a foam cone (PUR Foam B 2240), which is intended to collect exfoliated epithelial cervical cells for andysis by Pap smear methods. Due to its shape, dimension and the porosity of the foam used for PapCone® it is possible to obtain cells from the endocervix and the ectocervix.
The design of the foam prevents distortion of the cells during sampling and transfer. During a gynecological examination the foam cone portion of the PapCone® is inserted for 1/3 into the cervical canal and is rotated two times for collection of cervical cells are transferred to a glass slide by applying gentle pressure and rotating the PapCone® evenly against the direction of streak on the slide, this allows for a uniform distribution of cells on the slide. To ensure the adequate coverage of the periphery of the transition zone, it is generally recommended to swap the periphery additionally with a second instrument (e.g. PapCone® or a spatula). Transfer these cells to the same glass slide. The device is offered non sterile.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance testing (bench testing):
During this test, the technical function to obtain and to release particles with diameters ranging from 20 micrometer to 100 micrometer within a viscous suspension has been compared. The viscosity of this suspension has been comparable to the viscosity of cervical mucus. All three devices have performed within the same range.
Clinical performance data:
A clinical performance evaluation (SANDER H. et. al: Sampling devices for cytological examinations, 2007) was conducted. PapCone® has been compared to the combination of spatula and brush and to the cotton tip. In this comparison 31,000 smears have been taken and compared. The evaluation of PapCone® concerning the handling (sampling and smear), the time needed for the sampling and the acceptance by the patient has shown a good acceptance of the PapCone® by medical professionals and by the patients. This comparison has shown the following advantages of PapCone®:
- better physician-patient-compliance due to reduced iatrogenic bleeding
- increased representative sampling due to increased number of cells
The statistical detection rate of positive cytological findings was equal for the compared instruments.

Clinical performance data
After its legal marketing in Europe PapCone® has been the subject of a clinical performance evaluation (SANDER H. et. al: Sampling devices for cytological examinations, 2007 - see attachment E). PapCone® has been compared to the combination of spatula and brush and to the cotton tip. In this comparison 31,000 smears have been taken and compared. The evaluation of PapCone® concerning the handling (sampling and smear), the time needed for the sampling and the acceptance by the patient has shown a good acceptance of the PapCone® by medical professionals and by the patients. This comparison has shown the following advantages of PapCone®:
better physician-patient-compliance due to reduced iatrogenic bleeding ー
increased representative sampling due to increased number of cells
The statistical detection rate of positive cytological findings was equal for the compared instruments.
Risk management
During the process of development of PapCone® a risk management according to ISO 14791 has been established. The evaluation of the potential risk for the user or the patient has shown no evidence of harmful potential if the device is used according to its instruction for use by medical professionals.
Biocompatibility
The intended contact of PapCone® and the human body is the foam cone (made from B 2240) and the mucosal membrane of the female cervix. Therefore PapCone® is a surface device. The duration of the contact is limited (less than 24 h, approximately less than 1 minute).
The PapCone® has been proven to be physiologically harmless through external testing. ISO 10993-5 (Cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (Irritation and delayed type hypersensitivity) testing was performed on the B 2240 foam. The complete PapCone (shaft and foam) was tested in accordance to ISO 10993-5 (Cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-12 (investigation of extractable organic substance and GC/MS fingerprint).
The results of these tests indicated the patient will have no harmful reactions when using the PapCone®.
