The FemVue™ Catheter System is intended for the delivery of contrast media during hysterosalpingography (HSG) and saline infusion hysterosonography (SIS) for the evaluation of the fallopian tube(s) selectively and/or the uterus. The following are some clinical indications: suspected polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or endometrial thickening, and/or the selective evaluation of fallopian tube patency.
The FemVue Catheter System ("FCS") is comprised of two components: a Sheath and a latex free balloon Catheter. The Sheath is used to deliver the Catheter into the uterus.
The provided text for the FemVue™ Catheter System (K083690) is a 510(k) summary and FDA clearance letter. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria, device performance metrics, or study details such as sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert qualifications.
The summary focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through:
- Equivalent device type, indication for use, principle of operation, and device description.
- Similar principles of operation for device placement, device description, and safety features.
- Substantially equivalent indication for use, placement location, and principle of operation for evaluation of the fallopian tubes.
The only "testing" mentioned is biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization) in compliance with ISO 10993. This type of testing ensures the material safety of the device when in contact with tissues, but it does not evaluate the device's functional performance in terms of diagnostic accuracy or effectiveness for its intended use (e.g., evaluating fallopian tube patency or uterine abnormalities).
Therefore, based solely on the provided text, I cannot complete the requested tables and sections related to performance acceptance criteria and a study demonstrating that the device meets those criteria. Such information is typically found in the clinical study section of a 510(k) submission, which is not included here.
The document indicates that the device was cleared based on substantial equivalence to existing devices, implying that its performance is presumed to be similar to its predicates, rather than requiring a de novo performance study with specific acceptance criteria.
§ 884.4530 Obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument.
(a)
Identification. An obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument is one of a group of devices used during obstetric-gynecologic procedures to perform manipulative diagnostic and surgical functions (e.g., dilating, grasping, measuring, and scraping), where structural integrity is the chief criterion of device performance. This type of device consists of the following:(1) An amniotome is an instrument used to rupture the fetal membranes.
(2) A circumcision clamp is an instrument used to compress the foreskin of the penis during circumcision of a male infant.
(3) An umbilical clamp is an instrument used to compress the umbilical cord.
(4) A uterine curette is an instrument used to scrape and remove material from the uterus.
(5) A fixed-size cervical dilator is any of a series of bougies of various sizes used to dilate the cervical os by stretching the cervix.
(6) A uterine elevator is an instrument inserted into the uterus used to lift and manipulate the uterus.
(7) A gynecological surgical forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used to pull, grasp, or compress during gynecological examination.
(8) A cervical cone knife is a cutting instrument used to excise and remove tissue from the cervix.
(9) A gynecological cerclage needle is a looplike instrument used to suture the cervix.
(10) A hook-type contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) remover is an instrument used to remove an IUD from the uterus.
(11) A gynecological fibroid screw is an instrument used to hold onto a fibroid.
(12) A uterine sound is an instrument used to determine the depth of the uterus by inserting it into the uterine cavity.
(13) A cytological cervical spatula is a blunt instrument used to scrape and remove cytological material from the surface of the cervix or vagina.
(14) A gynecological biopsy forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used for gynecological biopsy procedures.
(15) A uterine tenaculum is a hooklike instrument used to seize and hold the cervix or fundus.
(16) An internal pelvimeter is an instrument used within the vagina to measure the diameter and capacity of the pelvis.
(17) A nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument used to expose the interior of the vagina.
(18) A fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument, with fiberoptic light, used to expose and illuminate the interior of the vagina.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an umbilical clamp with or without a cutter, a uterine tenaculum which is sterile and does not use suction and is intended for single use, a nonmetal vaginal speculum, or a fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.(2) Class I for the amniotome, uterine curette, cervical dilator (fixed-size bougies), cerclage needle, IUD remover, uterine sound, and gynecological biopsy forceps. 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.
