Intended Use
Electrodes are part of a resectoscope system for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in gynecological applications. The general indications include transcervical resection, vaporization, cutting and coagulation of tissue in the uterus in saline irrigation fluid. Specific indications: - transcervical diagnosis and treatment (resection, vaporization, biopsy, cutting and coagulation) of intrauterine myomas, intrauterine polyps, synechias and endometrium (TCRis) - lysis of intrauterine septa - endometrial ablation .
Device Description
The Olympus Resection Electrodes that are subject to this submission are for application in saline. Depending on the characteristics of electrical current, which is provided by the electrosurgical generator, electrosurgery can be used for coagulation, vaporization and cutting. The subject HF-Resection Electrodes consist of an active tip, PTFE color code identification, an insulator between the electrode and electrode tube, a guiding tube, telescope clip and arm (shaft). The design and dimensions of the electrodes vary to accommodate various procedural conditions. The active tips of the various electrodes may consist of loops, rollers, needles or buttons. All subject Resection Electrodes are single-use electrodes and are delivered sterile and are used in combination with a reusable HF cable (the HF cable is not subject to this submission).
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard electrosurgical electrode for use with a resectoscope. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would typically indicate the presence of AI/ML. The performance testing relies on equivalence to a predicate device, which is common for non-AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is used for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of various gynecological conditions, including resection, vaporization, cutting, and coagulation of tissue, which are therapeutic interventions.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "endoscopic diagnosis" and "transcervical diagnosis" as part of the electrode's function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as an active tip, insulator, guiding tube, telescope clip, and arm (shaft), indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The described device is an electrode used as part of a resectoscope system for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment within the uterus. It is used for procedures like cutting, coagulation, and vaporization of tissue inside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes procedures performed directly on tissue within the uterus, not on specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, the function and intended use of this device fall under the category of a surgical or therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

3. Predicate Devices

The subject devices have been previously cleared for urological indications under K152092 (product codes FAS / FJL).

4

The predicate devices have not been subject to a design-related recall.

No reference devices were used in this submission.

4. Product Description

The Olympus Resection Electrodes that are subject to this submission are for application in saline. Depending on the characteristics of electrical current, which is provided by the electrosurgical generator, electrosurgery can be used for coagulation, vaporization and cutting.

The subject HF-Resection Electrodes consist of an active tip, PTFE color code identification, an insulator between the electrode and electrode tube, a guiding tube, telescope clip and arm (shaft).

The design and dimensions of the electrodes vary to accommodate various procedural conditions. The active tips of the various electrodes may consist of loops, rollers, needles or buttons.

All subject Resection Electrodes are single-use electrodes and are delivered sterile and are used in combination with a reusable HF cable (the HF cable is not subject to this submission).

5. Indications for Use

Electrodes are part of a resectoscope system for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in gynecological applications.

The general indications include transcervical resection, vaporization, ablation, cutting and coagulation of tissue in the uterus in saline irrigation fluid.

Specific indications:

  • transcervical diagnosis and treatment (resection, vaporization, ablation, biopsy, cutting and coagulation) of intrauterine myomas, intrauterine polyps, synechias and endometrium (TCRis)
  • lysis of intrauterine septa -
  • endometrial ablation

Although the subject and predicate devices have different indications for use statements, the intended use is the same. The subject device is indicated for gynecologic applications while the predicate device is indicated for urological indications. However, when the decision-making criteria specified in the FDA

5

guidance document, "General/Specific Intended Use," (issued November 4, 1998) are applied, the subject device indications are determined to fall within the scope of the intended use of the predicate device. The specific gynecology indications of the subject device do not represent a different intended use since there is an extensive knowledge base regarding the use of bipolar electrosurgery for gynecological applications, including the disease states listed in the specific gynecologic indications. Therefore, the intended use comparison supports substantial equivalence.

6. Comparison of Technological characteristics

The subject and predicate devices are identical in design and are based on the same technological principle with the same elements:

  • Identical in design
  • I Used in combination with a resectoscope system (identical to predicate)
  • I Like the predicate electrodes, the subject device resection electrode series features loops, needles, rollers, and buttons as active tip shapes
  • I Utilizing resection in saline as mode of ablation (identical to predicate)

7. Performance Data

The subject device is identical in design and manufacturing to the predicate device (K152092). Therefore, the current submission relies on performance testing previously reviewed and deemed acceptable in K152092.

8. Sterilization and Shelf Life

Sterilization is performed according to ISO 11135 and packaging conforms with ISO 11607-1. Since the subject device is identical in design and manufacturing to the predicate device, the current submission relies on sterilization and packaging validation testing previously reviewed and deemed acceptable in K152092.

9. Conclusion

The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
