AI/ML Overview

This document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Benesta™ Tissue Removal Device. It indicates that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. However, this document does not contain any information regarding acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets said criteria.

The letter focuses on the regulatory aspects of the clearance, such as:

  • Trade/Device Name: Benesta™ Tissue Removal Device
  • Regulation Number: 21 CFR § 884.1690
  • Regulation Name: Hysteroscope and Accessories
  • Regulatory Class: II
  • Product Code: HIH
  • Indications for Use: Intended for intrauterine use by trained gynecologists to hysteroscopically resect and remove tissue such as: submucous myomas, endometrial polyps, and retained products of conception.

To provide the information requested about acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance, you would need to refer to the 510(k) summary or the full 510(k) submission that was provided to the FDA by Caldera Medical, Inc. This public document (the clearance letter) confirms the regulatory status but does not typically detail the specific performance studies and acceptance criteria used for the clearance.

Dear Vicki Gail:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

{1}------------------------------------------------

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatoryinformation/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
