No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology. The device description and intended use point to a surgical electrode for gynecological procedures.
Yes
The device is described as "Vaporization electrodes intended uses in gynecology" for treating conditions like "abnormal uterine bleeding with or without pain, and infertility" through procedures like "endometrial ablation" and "resectoscopic management of intractable uterine bleeding," which are all therapeutic interventions.
No
The device description indicates it is a "Vaporization Electrode" used for resection and ablation, which are therapeutic procedures. The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists conditions like "abnormal uterine bleeding" and "infertility" as primary indications, but the device's function is to treat or manage these conditions through physical intervention (resection, ablation), not to diagnose them.
No
The device description explicitly states "VaporTrode™ Vaporization Electrodes in Gynecology," indicating a physical electrode component, which is hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses described are surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's uterus (transuterine resection, endometrial ablation, etc.). IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The device is described as "VaporTrode™ Vaporization Electrodes," which are instruments used in surgical procedures.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, diagnostic testing, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The primary indications for use are abnormal uterine bleeding with or without pain, and infertility.
Vaporization electrodes intended uses in gynecology, along with other resectoscopic electrodes and instruments, are: transuterine resection of fibroids, endometrial ablation, resectoscopic management of Müllerian fusion defects, resectoscopic management of intrauterine lesions, resectoscopic management of intractable uterine bleeding.

§ 884.4160 Unipolar endoscopic coagulator-cutter and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A unipolar endoscopic coagulator-cutter is a device designed to destroy tissue with high temperatures by directing a high frequency electrical current through the tissue between an energized probe and a grounding plate. It is used in female sterilization and in other operative procedures under endoscopic observation. This generic type of device may include the following accessories: an electrical generator, probes and electrical cables, and a patient grounding plate. This generic type of device does not include devices used to perform female sterilization under hysteroscopic observation.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Taylor:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in regulatory action. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
