Device Description
The Berkeley VC-10 Vacuum Curettage System uses aspiration to remove uterine contents through the cervix. The system includes the vacuum pump, collection containers, connection tubing, and patient contacting vacurettes. The vacuum pump is electrically powered and generates suction through vacuum pressure. The vacuum pump console is not provided sterile and is a multi-use device. The patient contacting vacurettes of the VC-10 system are provided as sterile, single use disposable devices. Similar to the predicate device VC-10, the modified Berkeley VC-10 includes a high capacity. double diaphragm pump and motor, enclosed in a stainless steel cabinet. Collection canisters sit on top of the cabinet, and a large vacuum gauge and vacuum control knob are easily accessed on the top of the cabinet. A vacurette (available in various shapes and sizes) is attached to a collection set (includes a plastic swivel handle with a slip ring to control the vacuum and PVC tubing) and is attached to the patient port of the first collection container. Two accessories, which can be used to collect tissue, include a tissue trap, which is connected to the collection tubing and the collection container, or a gauze sack, which is placed inside the collection container. The modified VC-10 offers the same foot actuator pedal for vacuum supply.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and vacuum pressure, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.

Yes
The device is described as a "Vacuum Curettage System" used for "rapid transcervical aspiration of the uterine cavity" to "remove uterine contents." This function directly treats a medical condition (e.g., incomplete miscarriage, elective abortion, removal of retained placental tissue), making it a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a system for "rapid transcervical aspiration of the uterine cavity" to "remove uterine contents through the cervix." This indicates a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a vacuum pump, collection containers, tubing, vacurettes, a stainless steel cabinet, and a foot actuator pedal. It is a physical system, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "For rapid transcervical aspiration of the uterine cavity." This describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's body to remove contents.
  • Device Description: The device is a vacuum system designed to physically remove uterine contents. It includes a pump, collection containers, tubing, and vacurettes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes. The focus is on the physical removal of tissue.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "Uterine cavity," indicating a direct interaction with the patient's body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely procedural and not for in vitro analysis.

---------------------------

The predicate device has not been subject to a design-related recall.

Product Description

The Berkeley VC-10 Vacuum Curettage System uses aspiration to remove uterine contents through the cervix. The system includes the vacuum pump, collection containers, connection tubing, and patient contacting vacurettes. The vacuum pump

is electrically powered and generates suction through vacuum pressure. The vacuum pump console is not provided sterile and is a multi-use device. The patient contacting vacurettes of the VC-10 system are provided as sterile, single use disposable devices.

Similar to the predicate device VC-10, the modified Berkeley VC-10 includes a high capacity. double diaphragm pump and motor, enclosed in a stainless steel cabinet. Collection canisters sit on top of the cabinet, and a large vacuum gauge and vacuum control knob are easily accessed on the top of the cabinet. A vacurette (available in various shapes and sizes) is attached to a collection set (includes a plastic swivel handle with a slip ring to control the vacuum and PVC tubing) and is attached to the patient port of the first collection container. Two accessories, which can be used to collect tissue, include a tissue trap, which is connected to the collection tubing and the collection container, or a gauze sack, which is placed inside the collection container. The modified VC-10 offers the same foot actuator pedal for vacuum supply.

Indications for Use

For rapid transcervical aspiration of the uterine cavity.

The indications for use and intended use of the modified/unmodified Berkeley VC-10 Vacuum Curettage System has not changed as a result of the vacuum pump motor modification in this submission. The indications for use of the subject and predicate devices are identical.

Comparison to Predicate Device:

The modified Berkeley VC-10 has been compared to the predicate VC-10 device with respect to intended use, design, performance, and fundamental scientific technology.

The Berkeley VC-10 was originally cleared in K030935. The modification that is the subject of this submission is to the vacuum pump and motor in the console of the Berkeley VC-10 Vacuum Curettage System. The horsepower rating for the predicate and new vacuum pump is changing from 1/3 horsepower to 1/2 horsepower. All other components of the system are identical to those cleared in K030935. The system's interface with the disposable components has not changed with this modification.

No changes were made to patient contacting material or packaging to the modified VC-10 since the predicate system was cleared in K030935.

A comparison of the pump specifications for the modified Berkeley VC-10 system and the predicate Berkeley VC-10 system is shown in the table below:

VC-10 (K030935)VC-10 (this submission)
Motor part number72R547-V116-D303X87R647-101-N470X
Voltage/Frequency115VAC/60 HzSame
Power/Amps600VA/5A500VA/T6.3AH
Horsepower1/3 HP1/2 HP
Maximum Vacuum73 cm Hg71 cm Hg

Except for the replacement of a the vacuum pump motor and the adjustments made to the internal enclosure to accommodate the new vacuum pump motor, the modified Berkeley VC-10 system and unmodified Berkeley VC-10 are identical. These minor differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. As demonstrated in the non-clinical testing (e.g., electrical safety, EMC, and functional testing), the different technological characteristics do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices. The comparisons and summary of testing results presented in this Special 510(k) Notification show this device to be substantially equivalent to the predicate VC-10 device.

Summary of Biocompatibility, Sterilization and Shelf Life Discussion

The subject of the modification is the pump motor in the non-patient contacting console of the VC-10 system. The sterile, single use disposable devices that were cleared with the system under K030935 have not been modified since receiving FDA clearance. Therefore, the current submission relies on the biocompatibility, sterilization and shelf life information provided in K030935.

Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Electrical Safety was tested according to AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1:2005/(R) 2012 and A1:2012.

EMC was tested according to IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 3: 2007-03.

Summary of Bench. Performance Testing

The following bench performance tests were conducted to assess the functional performance of the modified device:

  • Maximum Measured Vacuum Pressure ●
  • Free Flow Rate
  • Time to Develop Vacuum
  • Time to Reach Full Vacuum ●

  • Time to Evacuate 1L w/ 7mm Curette .
  • . Time to Evacuate 1L w/ 6mm Curette

All performance testing passed or met the pre-specified acceptance criteria.

Conclusion

The modified Berkeley VC-10 has the same intended use, fundamental technology and similar design as its predicate VC-10 device. The technological differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness and the performance testing demonstrates substantial equivalence.
