No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical, electrical, and material properties of the electrodes and cables, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, control, or image processing.
Yes
The device is described for "endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in urological applications: Cutting, ablation, resection, vaporization and coagulation with HF current" and "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," all of which constitute therapeutic interventions.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states the device is for "endoscopic diagnosis and treatment," but the "Device Description" and "Intended Use" paragraphs specify its function as cutting, ablation, resection, vaporization, and coagulation with HF current, which are therapeutic interventions. While diagnosis is mentioned in the "Intended Use" alongside "treatment," the detailed description of the device's function and the types of procedures it enables are all interventional, not purely diagnostic. The device facilitates a medical procedure that includes diagnostic steps (like visual inspection or biopsy for diagnosis), but its primary role and mechanism (HF current for tissue modification) are therapeutic.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as electrodes, cables, and a guiding tube, and the performance studies focus on mechanical, electrical, and sterilization aspects of these hardware components. There is no mention of software as a component or its function.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used for "endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in urological applications" and "endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in gynecological applications." This involves direct interaction with tissue within the body for cutting, ablation, resection, vaporization, and coagulation.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of the electrodes and cables, designed for delivering HF current to tissue.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens outside the body.
The device is an electrosurgical instrument used for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures performed in vivo (within the body).

Device Description
The Olympus Resection Electrodes with HF cable 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 accompanying HF cables consist of two lantern plugs on the instrument side and one generator plug on the generator side.
The design and dimensions of the electrodes vary to accommodate various procedural conditions. The active tips of the various electrodes may consist of loops, bands, rollers, needles or buttons. The electrodes have a shaft diameter of 24 Fr, range in length from 261.8-336.7mm, and range in tip angle from 12° - 30° tips. The design of the HF cable plugs fits Olympus electrosurgical generators with Universal Socket.
All subject Resection Electrodes are single-use electrodes and are delivered sterile. All subject Resection Electrodes are provided with a single-use, sterile cable to connect the electrode to the generator.

- Compression and tension between guiding sheets and contact part
- Detaching force of the cable from ESG410
Resection/Coagulation performance:
- Duration of single activation in combination with a HF generator
Transport tests:
- Communication with a HF generator
- Electrode pull back to proximal stop
In addition, tests to evaluate manual assembly of the system and visual inspection of the generator display were conducted.

At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the same technological principle with the same elements:
8
- . Resection electrodes consisting of an active (distal) tip, PTFE color code identification at the distal and proximal ends, an insulator between the electrode and electrode tube, a stabilizing (guiding) tube, and arm (shaft)
- . HF cables consisting of two lantern plugs on the instrument side and one generator plug on the generator side
- 트 Used in combination with a resectoscope system
- . Like the predicate electrodes, the subject device resection electrode series features loops, bands, needles, rollers, and a button as active tip shapes
- Resection electrodes utilizing ablation or for resection in saline (dependent on model)
- I Respectively identical outer dimensions
- I Design changes of the electrodes and cables are minor and do not negatively impact safety or effectiveness of the subject devices
- . The same or similar materials in patient contact are used in predicate and subject device and have all been successfully tested for biocompatibility.
As stated above, the subject and predicate devices have similar design characteristics and performance specifications, with the exception of the compatibility to the Olympus electrosurgical generators with UNIVERSAL socket. These minor differences, however, do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. As demonstrated in the non-clinical testing (e.g., electrical safety, sterilization validation, and package integrity), the different technological characteristics do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices.
7. Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing
The following tests were conducted to demonstrate the compatibility to Olympus HF generators that have UNIVERSAL socket to the instructions for use of the resection electrodes:
Mechanical performance:
- Mechanical compatibility ●
- Detaching force of electrode ●
- Lifetime connection/disconnection of the electrodes
- Compression and tension between guiding sheets and contact part
- . Detaching force of the cable from ESG410
Resection/Coagulation performance:
-
Duration of single activation in combination with a HF generator
Transport tests: -
Communication with a HF generator ●
-
Electrode pull back to proximal stop .
