The document describes standard image processing and patient management software, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep neural networks (DNNs), training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.
No.
The device is intended for viewing and performing diagnostic and operative procedures, not for treating a disease or condition. While it is used in procedures that might be therapeutic, the device itself is an imaging and access tool.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to be used for viewing of the cervical canal and uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and operative procedures." This indicates its use for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly states it includes hardware components such as a disposable cannula module with a CMOS camera and LED illumination, a reusable imaging system, and a medical grade display. While there is optional software, the core device is a hardware system.
Based on the provided information, the HTx disposable hysteroscope system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "viewing of the cervical canal and uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and operative procedures." This describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's body for visualization and intervention.
- Device Description: The device is a hysteroscope, which is an endoscope used to visualize internal body cavities. It uses a camera and light to provide images of the cervical canal and uterine cavity.
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The HTx system does not perform tests on samples.
The HTx system is a medical device used for direct visualization and procedural guidance within the body, not for analyzing samples outside the body.

Device Description
The HTx Disposable Hysteroscope System is a single use hysteroscope endoscope intended for gynecology procedure applications. It includes a disposable cannula module, a reusable imaging system, a medical grade display and optional software for processing patient management.
The disposable cannula contains a miniature complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) camera, a light-emitting diode (LED) illumination module, and a channel for fluid and device. The cannula connects directly to the image system via an image cable. The cannula also contains three (3) buttons for video recording, picture taking, and light-emitting diode (LED) brightness control. The image system connects to a medical grade display module via DVI port. The external patient management software runs on an external PC that connects with the image system via LAN cable.
The disposable cannula module family includes two models. HTx60 has an outer diameter of 6.2mm and adapts to tools up to 3mm, and HTx40 has an outer diameter of 4.5mm and adapts to tools up to 5Fr. The disposable single-use cannula contains a miniature camera module and an LED illumination module at the tip. The cannula connects to the image system through an image cable for image data transfer, camera control, and power supply. The disposable cannula has a working length of 240mm, and an overall length is 330mm. Fluid irrigation is achieved through a tube which is connected to an IV bag and pressured via peristaltic pump. The disposable cannula is sterilized and packaged in a sealed pouch.
The HTx1000 image system Module is reusable. It connects to the disposable cannula through an image cable. Its proximal end has a USB connection interface and power button. It contains the image processing controller and user interface software to check the live video during the procedure. The Image System Module contains several function buttons for use during a procedure – an LED adjustment button to adjust brightness, an information retrieve button to review the stored images, and a set of navigation buttons to instruct the user on setting functions.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical tests were performed in accordance with the applicable requirements of the following areas:
- Sterilization: The device is provided sterile via ethylene oxide sterilization validation was performed in accordance with ISO 11135:2014.
- Biocompatibility: Evaluation was conducted in accordance with the FDA guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". Testing included: Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009), Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010), Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010), Acute Systemic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2017), Material Mediated Pyrogenicity (ISO 10993-11:2017). Results demonstrated the subject device is non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, non-irritating, not systemically toxic, and non-pyrogenetic.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility/Electrical Safety: The device was tested and found to be compliant with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-18, and IEC 60601-1-2.
- Performance Testing: Optical performance (direction of view, field of view, distortion/resolution, luminous flux, color performance, photobiological safety), optical safety, and thermal safety testing were conducted in accordance with ISO 8600-1:2015, ISO 8600-3:2019, IEC 62471:2006, and IEC 60601-2-18:2009.
- Software: Software documentation for a Moderate Level of Concern device is provided in support of the subject device per FDA's 2005 Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Device.
Key Results: The performance testing demonstrates that the subject device is as safe and as effective as the legally marketed predicate device.

(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.
