The device description focuses on the physical properties and hygroscopic action of the material for cervical dilation, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
The device is used to achieve cervical softening and dilation for various medical indications, directly affecting the body's function for therapeutic purposes like induction of labor or drainage of the uterine cavity.
No
The device description and intended use indicate that Dilapan-S is used for cervical softening and dilation, which are therapeutic or procedural actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly states that DILAPAN-S is a physical, hygroscopic rod made of hydrogel, which is a hardware component. It functions by absorbing moisture and expanding, exerting physical pressure. This is not a software-only device.
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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Dilapan-S Function: Dilapan-S is a physical device inserted into the cervix to cause mechanical dilation and promote cervical ripening. It works by absorbing moisture and expanding, exerting pressure on the surrounding tissue.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The description of Dilapan-S does not involve the analysis of any biological samples from the patient. Its function is purely mechanical and physiological within the body.
Therefore, Dilapan-S is a medical device used for a physical procedure (cervical dilation), not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description
DILAPAN-S is a hygroscopic cervical dilator that is manufactured from AQUACRYL, a proprietary hydrogel. The dilators are firm hygroscopic rods, similar in shape to natural laminaria tents. DILAPAN-S is capable of increasing in diameter on average from three (3) millimeters to 8.3-10 mm, or four (4) millimeters to 10-12.5 millimeters within 4-6 hours as they absorb moisture from the genital tract.
In clinical trials, DILAPAN-S has been shown to dilate the cervix gradually. It may not be necessary to use general or local anesthetics during the insertion process, thereby eliminating their associated risks to the patient. A Marker String is tied securely to the handle of the DILAPAN - S, and is provided to indicate location.
DILAPAN-S is capable of increasing its volume as it absorbs moisture from the genital tract through hygroscopic action. The volume of DILAPAN-S subsequently exerts radial pressure on the surrounding structures (uterine neck) to dilate progressively. Endocervical pressure on the uterine neck results in mechanical dilation and promotes cervical ripening through reversible cell dehydration and local endogenous prostaglandins release promoting collagen reorganization.
DILAPAN-S is available in boxes of 10 or 25 dilators and in the following dimensions: 4mm x 65mm, 4mm x 55mm, 3mm x 55mm. Each DILAPAN - S is individually wrapped in a single foil pouch and is sterilized by gamma radiation.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Comparison testing was performed with Laminaria. Swell testing, expansion force, comparisons of diameter variations and speed of swelling was assessed. Dilapan-S swells to greater diameters and faster rates than Laminaria, and also exerts greater forces during swelling. The safe and effective use of DILAPAN-S has been previously shown in numerous clinical studies. All data submitted demonstrate that DILAPAN-S is as safe and effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.

examples of specific procedures, except that the subject device has an additional example - operative hysteroscopy. The difference does not raise any new types of questions because operative hysteroscopy is an established gynecological procedure. The difference raises a safety and effectiveness concern, but the clinical literature supports use of Dilapan-S for operative hysteroscopy.
- . Technological characteristics - Mode of action Both subject and predicate devices are hygroscopic cervical dilators. They have the following same modes of action
-
- By absorption of fluid from the surrounding cervical tissue, they expand in diameter and dilate the cervical canal by exerting a radial pressure.
-
- By putting pressure on cervical tissue, they stimulate the endogenous prostaglandin production by initiating the thearachidonic acid cascade, causing collagen degradation, which softens the cervix.
-
- . Technological characteristics - Design
The subject device has three components (active part, handle, and signal string) whereas the predicate device has two components (active part and signal string). The difference raises a concern on the joint strength of the rod (active part)-handle and handle-signal string. However, joint strength is not a new type of question, because it is also associated with the predicate device and other hygroscopic cervical dilators. Also, there are wellestablished methods to evaluate joint strength. The company has provided sufficient mechanical engineering data to demonstrate that the subject device is safe and effectiveness.
-
Technological characteristics Size .
The subject device has three sizes with two diameters (3 mm and 4 mm), whereas the predicate device is available with seven (7) different diameters (2-10 mm). The difference does not raise any concerns because the subject device has a larger expansion force and can be used with multiple units at the same time. Clinical performance data show that the subject device, with narrowed dry diameter range, is as safe and effective as the laminaria devices. -
Technological characteristics Key performance specifications . Comparison of this parameter cannot be done, because we do not have data on the predicate device. However, clinical performance data show that the subject device is safe and effective.
-
. Technological characteristics - Material The subject device is made of synthetic hydrogel (Aquacryl 90) whereas the predicate device is manufactured with laminaria materials. The difference raises safety and effectiveness concerns; however, there are no new types of questions. The safety can be addressed by well-accepted biocompatibility testing, and the company has provided sufficient biocompatibility information. The effectiveness can be addressed by bench and clinical testing. The company has provided sufficiency mechanical performance data and clinical literature to establish the effectiveness of the subject device.
