Intended Use

The FemDx FalloView™ is intended for visualization of the cervical canal, uterine cavity, and proximal fallopian tube(s) during diagnostic gynecological procedures.

Device Description

The FemDx FalloView™ is a disposable, hand-held, battery-operated endoscope that contains a 4.7 mm hysteroscopic cannula, a 1.2 mm falloposcopic catheter, and a visualization system. The catheter is integrated inside the cannula center lumen and can be deployed, retracted, or rotated. The cannula includes a lumen and a proximal female luer lock port for saline irrigation. The visualization system includes a camera module positioned at the tip of the catheter, a controller board, an LCD display integrated into the device's handle, and LED/fiber optic illumination. The FemDx FalloView™ contains embedded software designed to display the real time image on the LCD display, control the illumination light level, and capture a screenshot. The captured image can be transmitted to a computer via Bluetooth and then accessed using the FalloView™ Image Viewer, a separate PC based software application.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the format requested. The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter and a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting detailed study results against predefined performance targets.

Specifically, it states that "The FemDx FalloView™ passed all applicable testing in accordance with internal requirements and national and international standards. The results demonstrate that the FemDx FalloView™ satisfies the performance, functional, and safety requirements relative to the product specifications, risk analyses, and Instructions for Use, and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device." However, it does not quantitatively report on device performance against specific, numerically defined acceptance criteria.

The document lists various non-clinical tests performed, such as "Image quality comparative testing" (including field of view, resolution, depth of field, etc.), "Flow rate and leakage testing," "Dimensional testing," and "Mechanical testing," but it does not provide the specific acceptance criteria for these tests nor the quantitative results that prove the device met them.

Therefore, it is impossible to complete the requested table and answer the specific questions based solely on the provided text. The document confirms that testing was done to demonstrate safety and effectiveness and substantial equivalence, but it does not detail the acceptance criteria or the specific statistical results of studies against those criteria.

Dear Sevrina Ciucci:

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 and Part 809); 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 (OS) 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).

Non-Clinical Testing

To demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the FemDx FalloView™ and show substantial equivalence to the predicate device, a comprehensive series of non-clinical tests were completed including mechanical dimensional and performance, electrical hardware/software performance, optical performance, and safety testing in accordance with FDA's guidance, "Hysteroscopes and Gynecological Laparoscopes Submission

{6}------------------------------------------------

Guidance for a 510(k)". The FemDx FalloView™ passed all applicable testing in accordance with internal requirements and national and international standards. The results demonstrate that the FemDx FalloView™ satisfies the performance, functional, and safety requirements relative to the product specifications, risk analyses, and Instructions for Use, and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device.

§ 884.1690 Hysteroscope and accessories.

(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.
