No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical functionality and physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is described as an aid for positioning and holding uterine manipulators during surgery, and explicitly states it is "not intended for patient contact." Its function is mechanical support, not direct therapeutic intervention or treatment of disease.
No
Explanation: The device is intended to assist surgical staff in mounting, positioning, and holding uterine manipulators during gynecological laparoscopic procedures, which is a supportive role in a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components including an articulated arm, foot pedal, linear actuator, and a sterile adapter drape. These are hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Ally Uterine Positioning System™ is a surgical tool designed to physically hold and position uterine manipulators during laparoscopic procedures. It is a mechanical device used during surgery, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is to "assist the surgical staff in mounting, positioning, and holding uterine manipulators during gynecological laparoscopic procedures." This is a surgical support function, not a diagnostic test.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical arm, foot pedal, and adapter for holding surgical instruments. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, the Ally Uterine Positioning System™ falls under the category of a surgical instrument or accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Cooper Surgical ALLY Uterine Positioning System™ (UPS) consists of a single multisegmented, articulated Arm that attaches to a standard OR bed rail and a separate, sterile distal adapter to accommodate a uterine manipulator. When unlocked, the articulation of the Arm allows the attached manipulator to be positioned by the user. The Arm is then locked in the desired position by depressing a foot pedal, activating a linear actuator which applies tension to an internal cable, drawing the segments together and locking the Arm.
The segmented design of the Arm allows lateral/medial movement from a single point, allowing the System to be attached to one side of the OR table.
The ALLY Uterine Positioning System™ (UPS) is not intended for patient contact. The Adapter Drape for the ALL Y Uterine Positioning System™ (UPS) is provided sterile (sterilized by ethylene oxide).
The ALLY UPS Adapter Drape secures either the Cooper Surgical RUMI II Uterine Manipulator Handle or the Advincula Arch Uterine Manipulator Handle to the distal end of the ALLY Arm. After attaching the Adapter, the sterile Drape is deployed to cover the non-sterile ALLY UPS Arm, maintaining the sterile field and protecting the Arm from contamination during the procedure.

§ 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.

The basis of substantial equivalence of the ALL Y Uterine Positioning System™ (UPS) is the similarities in materials, design, function, performance, sterilization, and indications for use in comparison to the predicate device.
Performance Data:
The ALL Y Uterine Positioning System™ (UPS) was tested in comparison to the predicate Intuitive Surgical "Probe Holder System, K071405 for;
- Holding (locking) force
Testing also included; 1) Durability (cycle) testing 2) Handle push force 3) Drape pull off force 4) Adapter pull out force
The device is in compliance with the following standards: IEC 60601-1 CORR 1 & 2 2007 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety
The Adapter Drape maintained its specifications for the shelf-life as demonstrated by stability testing in accordance with ASTM F1980-07.
Clinical testing was not required to support the conclusion of substantial equivalence.
Conclusion:
The substantial equivalence of the Cooper Surgical ALLY Uterine Positioning System (UPS) has been established by the similarities in design, materials, function, and Intended Use to the previously cleared Intuitive Surgical "Probe Holder System", K071405.
