Intended Use

The Gynocular is intended to provide magnified visualization of the tissues of the vagina, cervix and external genitalia. It is used to evaluate these tissues and select areas for biopsy.

Device Description

The Gynocular is a hand-held, colposcope, which provides a magnified visualization of the tissues of the cervix, vagina, vulva and anogential area. It is used to evaluate these tissues and select areas for biopsy, without contacting the patient. The user is a medical physician, or a trained colposcopist. The Gynocular is a colposcope with similar specifications to traditional colposcopes. The Gynocular has a 300 mm focal distance, 3-magnifications: 5x, 8x, and 12x. It is a handheld device that comes with a tripod-mounting clip that screws into a standard tripod enabling the medical professional to also perform colposcopy hands-free mode for ease of biopsy. The Gynocular uses high intensity LEDs for illumination, has a green filter, and is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. We also provide a charging base for the Gynocular.

AI/ML Overview

Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for Gynocular Colposcope

The Gynocular colposcope's acceptance criteria and reported performance are detailed below, based on the provided 510(k) submission.

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Optical Properties:
DistortionMinimal Barrel type geometrical distortion: 0.47% (5x), 0.75% (8x), 0.81% (12x). Negligible chromatic distortion: 3.3 um (5x), 5.8 um (8x), 3.3 um (12x).
Magnification4.81x ± 0.15 (at 5x setting), 7.74x ± 0.15 (at 8x setting), 12.40x ± 0.15 (at 12x setting)
Optical Resolution28.6 cy/mm (5x), 40.5 cy/mm (8x), 56.8 cy/mm (12x)
Thermal Safety
Device Surface Temperature (after 1hr 55 min continuous use)39.1 degrees C (in 24 degrees C ambient)
Battery Performance
Charging Time (empty to full)2.5 hours or less
Illumination Time (full intensity, from full charge)Approximately 2 hours
Battery Life Cycle500 full charging cycles
Clinical Agreement with Standard Colposcope
Agreement of diagnosis of cervical lesions (Swede scores vs. histological diagnosis)70% overall agreement

Note: The document states that the observed distortion and chromatic distortion levels are considered "negligible" for visual examination and "equal and below the levels of visual acuity of the human eye," implying these values met the internal acceptance limits. The thermal safety performance is also implicitly accepted as the device has an automatic shut-off mechanism for unsafe temperatures, and the reported temperature is within a safe range. The specific acceptance criteria for magnification and optical resolution are not explicitly stated as numerical thresholds, but the reported values are presented as performance achievements.

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set

  • Sample Size for the test set: 69 women.
  • Data Provenance: The study was a "randomized, crossover, pilot clinical trial" but the country of origin is not explicitly stated. However, Gynius AB is based in Stockholm, Sweden, and the study was published in "The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease in May 2013," suggesting a prospective clinical trial, likely conducted in Sweden or a similarly regulated environment.

3. Number of Experts and their Qualifications for Ground Truth

The document does not explicitly state the number of experts or their qualifications used to establish the ground truth for the test set. It mentions that "Swede scores were given at the time of colposcopy and compared with the final histological diagnosis after directed cervical biopsy." This implies that the initial "Swede scores" were given by the medical professionals conducting the colposcopy, and the histological diagnosis (pathology) served as the primary ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not specify an adjudication method for disagreements. It directly compares "Swede scores" from both the Gynocular and a standard colposcope with the "final histological diagnosis after directed cervical biopsy."

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done in the context of human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance. The study described is a comparison of two colposcopes (Gynocular vs. standard colposcope) used by human medical professionals, not evaluating AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

No, a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was not done. The Gynocular is a medical device (colposcope) that is used by a human operator (medical physician or trained colposcopist) for visual examination. It does not employ an AI algorithm for diagnosis.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The primary ground truth used for the clinical trial was pathology ("final histological diagnosis after directed cervical biopsy"). The "Swede scores" obtained during colposcopy were compared against this histological diagnosis.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not mention any training set. This is because the Gynocular is a visual diagnostic tool (colposcope) operated by a human, and not an AI/machine learning algorithm requiring a training set in the conventional sense. The "clinical tests" described represent a validation study, not a training phase for an algorithm.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As there was no AI/machine learning component to the Gynocular described in the submission, there was no "training set" and therefore no ground truth established for a training set.

(7) Performance Data

.

The following testing was conducted to support a substantial equivalence determination.

  • . Distortion testing:
    • The analysis shows that the Gynocular exhibits a minimal Barrel type geometrical

distortion: 0.47%, 0.75% and 0.81% for 5x, 8x and 12x magnification, respectively. This distortion is at levels of professional camera lenses considered and is considered negligible for a visual examination of tissue. The analysis shows that the Gynocular exhibits a

negligible chromatic distortion: 3.3 um, 5.8 um and 3.3 um for 5x, 8x and 12x magnification, respectively. This chromatic distortion is equal and below the levels of visual acuity of the human eye (5-6 um at the retina).

  • . Magnification testing: 4.81x ±0.15,7.74x ±0.15,12.40x ±0.15
  • � Optical resolution: 5x = 28.6 cy/mm 8x = 40.5 cv/mm 12x = 56.8cy/mm

Design validation: . Firmware and mechanical tests were conducted to demonstrate that the mechanical functions and optical properties achieve the desired results.

  • . Thermal safety:
    After 1hr 55 min of continuous use, the Gynocular's outer heat sink reached 39.1 degrees C in an ambient temperature setting of 24 degrees C. The Gynocular has an automatic shut off mechanism if temperatures become unsafe.

  • Battery Performance: .
    The typical charging time from empty to full charge is 2.5 hours or less. The battery gives approximately 2hrs of illuminator on time (full intensity) from a full charge. The use of life for the battery is 500 full charging cycles.

Non-clinical tests

Appropriate risk analysis-driven product testing was conducted to evaluate product safety. The following standards were met:

  • · IEC 60601-1: 2005 + CORR. 1 (2006) + CORR. 2 (2007)
  • · EN 60601-1 2006

Clinical tests

Gynius conducted a randomized, crossover, pilot clinical trial for evaluating agreement of diagnosis of cervical lesions by colposcopy using a standard colposcope and the Gynocular. The study population was 69 women that tested positive for visual inspection with acetic acid. Swede scores were given at the time of colposcopy and compared with the final histological diagnosis after directed cervical biopsy. The Swede scores were compared across the two techniques and there was a 70% agreement overall. Conclusions: The study shows that in visual inspection with acetic acid positive women, a battery-driven, pocket-sized colposcope - the Gynocular, has a significant level of agreement with a stationary colposcope in assessing cervical lesions. The study was accepted and published by The Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease in May 2013.

(8) Conclusions

The Gynocular is equivalent in safety and efficacy to the legally marketed predicate devices.
