No
The device description explicitly states it is a "non-powered manual hysteroscopic surgical instrument" and the mechanism of action is purely mechanical (manual squeezing of a handle to actuate a blade). There is no mention of any computational or data-driven components that would suggest AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as "resect and remove tissue, including focal lesions such as endometrial polyps," which are considered therapeutic interventions for medical conditions.
No
The device description indicates it is a surgical instrument used to "resect and remove tissue." It does not mention any function for identifying or analyzing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "non-powered manual hysteroscopic surgical instrument" with physical components like a handle, blade, and vacuum tube port. It is a hardware device used for tissue resection.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. They are used in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, such as diagnosing diseases, monitoring treatments, or screening for conditions.
- The Resectr Tissue Resection Device is a surgical instrument used in vivo (inside the body). Its purpose is to physically resect and remove tissue directly from the uterus during a hysteroscopy procedure.
The description clearly states its intended use is for "intrauterine use by physicians trained in hysteroscopy to resect and remove tissue". This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Device Description
The Resectr device is a non-powered manual hysteroscopic surgical instrument used to resect and remove tissue under direct visualization. The device is supplied sterile for single use only. The device is offered in two sizes (5F and 9F) for compatibility with hysteroscopes with a 1.65mm or 3.0mm working channel respectively.
The Resectr devices consist of a handle that is manually squeezed and released to actuate a blade within the resecting window to resect and remove target tissue. The devices are provided assembled with a vacuum tube port for use with a suction source. As tissue is resected, it is evacuated through the length of the device and out the vacuum tube port.

(a)
Identification. A hysteroscope is a device used to permit direct viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity by a telescopic system introduced into the uterus through the cervix. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures other than sterilization. This generic type of device may include obturators and sheaths, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheaters, light sources and cables, and component parts.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for hysteroscope accessories that are not part of a specialized instrument or device delivery system; do not have adapters, connectors, channels, or do not have portals for electrosurgical, laser, or other power sources. Such hysteroscope accessory instruments include: lens cleaning brush, cannula (without trocar or valves), clamp/hemostat/grasper, curette, instrument guide, forceps, dissector, mechanical (noninflatable), and scissors. 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.

SECTION 5
510(k) SUMMARY
The Resectr devices consist of a handle that is manually squeezed and released to actuate a blade within the resecting window to resect and remove target tissue. The devices are provided assembled with a vacuum tube port for use with a suction source. As tissue is resected, it is evacuated through the length of the device and out the vacuum tube port.
F. Intended Use/Indications for Use
The Resectr Tissue Resection Device is intended for intrauterine use by physicians trained in hysteroscopy to resect and remove tissue, including focal lesions such as endometrial polyps.
H. Comparison of Intended Use and Technological Characteristics
The subject and the predicate devices have different indications for use statements. However, both devices are intended to be used hysteroscopically to resect and remove tissue. Therefore, the intended use of the subject and predicate device is the same.
The subject and predicate devices have similar technological characteristics, including method of use and mode of operation, outer tube rotation, resection aperture, tissue resection mechanism, device markings and sterility.
There are minor technological differences between the predicate and the proposed devices; however, the differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The primary technological differences between the subject and predicate devices are:
- Outer Diameter: The Resectr device is offered in two sizes; 9F and 5F whereas the MyoSure device is only offered in 9F size.
- Working Length: The Resectr devices have a 13.9 inch cannula working length, whereas the MyoSure device has a 12.6 inch cannula working length.
- Vacuum and Tissue Collection: The Resectr devices are connected to an external vacuum source and tissue catch, whereas the MyoSure device is comprised of a hand-actuated vacuum and built-in tissue trap.
- . Supplied Accessories: The MyoSure device is provided with an inflow tubing set. whereas the Resectr devices are not.
- Directionality of the Resection Blade: The resecting blade on the Resectr devices oscillates radially relative to the cannula, whereas the resecting blade on the MyoSure device reciprocates axially with each handle squeeze.
- Blade Actuation: Each handle squeeze and release on the Resectr devices rotates the blade bi-directionally for a total of six resection actions across the cannula window. Each handle squeeze and release on the MyoSure device completes one resection action across the cannula window.
