Intended Use
The Uterine ElevatOR PRO with OccludOR Balloon™ is indicated for manipulation of the uterus, and injection of fluids or gases during laparoscopic procedures including total laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy, laparoscopic tubal occlusion, and diagnostic laparoscopy. The Uterine ElevatOR PRO with OccludOR Balloon™ maintains pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic procedures by sealing the vagina once colpotomy is performed.
Device Description
The Uterine ElevatOR PRO with OccludOR Balloon™ is a sterile, single-use medical device used to manipulate the uterus and cervix in surgical and diagnostic procedures. The device includes an insulated and anatomically designed stainless steel shaft with an intrauterine balloon and reference graduations (centimetres) at the proximal [to patient] end and an external handle at the distal end. The intrauterine balloon is inflated with air using a standard syringe (not included). The device has a vaginal cup that is pushed along the shaft to support a green cervical cup. The cervical cup provides a guide for colpotomy. There are four sizes of cervical cups available, 32mm, 37mm, and 40mm, which correspond to the different model numbers. A locking assembly secures the position of the vaginal cup and therefore the cervical cup. Sites for suturing are located on the cervical cup. An Occluder Balloon further reduces leakage of pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery. A port at the distal end of handle provides a channel for injection of fluids or gases.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML components or algorithms.

No.
The device is used for manipulation, fluid/gas injection, and maintaining pneumoperitoneum during surgical procedures, rather than for treating or curing a disease or condition.

No.

Explanation: The device is described as being used for "manipulation of the uterus, and injection of fluids or gases" during various laparoscopic procedures, including "diagnostic laparoscopy." While it can be used during a diagnostic procedure, its function is described as manipulation and fluid/gas injection, not for diagnosing a condition itself. It's a surgical tool that facilitates other procedures, some of which may be diagnostic in nature.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a stainless steel shaft, intrauterine balloon, external handle, vaginal cup, cervical cup, and an occluder balloon. It is a physical medical device, 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 clearly describes a device used for manipulating the uterus and injecting fluids/gases during laparoscopic surgical procedures. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body for surgical purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device with a shaft, balloons, cups, and ports designed for mechanical manipulation and fluid delivery within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, urine, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs are used outside the body to analyze samples.

The device is a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the living body) during surgical procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device used to analyze samples outside the body.

Dear Nicole Conway:

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.

Both the subject and predicate devices are sterile, single-use medical devices used to manipulate the uterus and cervix in surgical and diagnostic procedures. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:

  • An anatomically contoured shaft. ●
  • An intrauterine balloon at the proximal [to patient] end, a handle at the distal end. ●
  • A cervical cup and a vaginal cup.
  • . A locking mechanism to secure the vaginal cup in position.
  • An inflation line for the intrauterine balloon.
  • A dye injection port at the distal end of the handle. ●

The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • The subject device includes the OccludOR Balloon, which is similar to a feature of ● the Colpo-Pneumo Occluder device cleared under K954311.
    These differences do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate.

The intended use of the subject device is identical to the predicate device. The subject device has similar technological characteristics to the predicate device. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. All testing undertaken to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device meet the predetermined acceptance criteria. The test results demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
