No
The device description explicitly states that all devices are manually operated, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or image processing capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including operative procedures like transection of intrauterine septa and adhesions.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly lists "Diagnostic" conditions for which the device is indicated, such as "infertility and pregnancy wastage," "abnormal uterine bleeding," and "evaluation of abnormalities of the endometrium."

No

The device description clearly states it is a "straight, graduated shaft endoscope with a remote eyepiece" and includes an "Alken Motion Control Device," indicating it is a physical, manually operated surgical device with hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the KSEA Semi-Rigid Hysteroscope and Accessories are used to "view the uterus" and "perform various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures" within the patient's body. The Alken Motion Control Device also guides instruments into the patient.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the uterus, which is an internal organ.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, using reagents, or performing tests on bodily fluids or tissues outside of the body.

This device is a surgical endoscope used for direct visualization and intervention within the uterus, which falls under the category of medical devices used in vivo (within a living organism).

§ 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.

Dear Dr. Piercy:

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 intenstated 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.

Re: K971518

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (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 QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation 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 80) and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for question 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).
