Intended Use

The MicroSpan Gold Hysteroscope is used to permit viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures.

The MicroSpan Hysteroscope Sheath is used to provide access to the uterine cavity for the MicroSpan Gold Hysteroscope or other hysteroscopic instruments during diagnostic and operative hysteroscopic procedures.

Device Description

The MicroSpan-Gold Hysteroscope is a small diameter, rigid, fiberoptic hysteroscope without through lumens. The device consists of an outer stainless steel shaft, inner illumination fibers, and an imaging fiber bundle. At one end of the imaging bundle is the distal lens and at the other is the rotatable eyepiece. An endoscopic light source is connected to the light post of the hysteroscope through compatible light cables. If desired, the eyepiece can be connected through a focusing optical coupler to a camera head which carries the image by cable to the camera.
The MicroSpan Hysteroscope Sheath is offered with irrigation/insufflation and aspiration ports and an instrument channel. The device is provided sterile for single use, and is made from both metal and plastic components.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the Imagyn MicroSpan Gold Hysteroscope and MicroSpan Hysteroscope Sheath. However, it does not include detailed information regarding acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics, clinical study design, sample sizes, expert qualifications, or ground truth establishment.

The "Performance Summary" section only states: "Non-clinical tests were performed to demonstrate that the device performed according to its description. Testing included evaluation of optical and mechanical characteristics of the device and the effect of simulated reuses on these characteristics. The device was also evaluated for its electrical safety, thermal characteristics, and biocompatibility." This indicates that the proof of meeting acceptance criteria was based on bench testing (non-clinical) rather than a clinical study with human patients.

Therefore, many of the requested details cannot be extracted from the provided document.

Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be answered based on the input:


1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Acceptance Criteria CategoryReported Device Performance
Optical Characteristics"demonstrate that the device performed according to its description" via non-clinical tests. (Specific metrics like resolution, field of view, illumination intensity are not provided.)
Mechanical Characteristics"demonstrate that the device performed according to its description" via non-clinical tests. (Specific metrics like shaft diameter, bending strength, insertion force are not provided.)
Effect of Simulated ReusesEvaluated via non-clinical tests to "demonstrate that the device performed according to its description." (Specific metrics on degradation over reuse cycles are not provided.)
Electrical SafetyEvaluated via non-clinical tests. (Specific standards met or results are not provided.)
Thermal CharacteristicsEvaluated via non-clinical tests. (Specific temperature ranges or stability data are not provided.)
BiocompatibilityEvaluated via non-clinical tests. (Specific tests performed or results (e.g., cytotoxicity, sensitization) are not provided.)
Substantial EquivalenceThe FDA determined the device is substantially equivalent to predicate devices (Imagyn MicroSpan Hysteroscope, Imagyn MicroLap-Gold Laparoscope, Optimed Technologies Rigid Fiber Optic Hysteroscope) for its stated intended use.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable. The performance summary explicitly states "Non-clinical tests were performed." This implies bench testing of devices, not a test set of patient cases.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable, as no clinical patient data was used for performance evaluation in this summary.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable. No clinical expert review or ground truth establishment for patient cases is mentioned, as the evaluation was non-clinical.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. No clinical test set or adjudication process is mentioned.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No. This device is a rigid fiberoptic hysteroscope and sheath, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not relevant to this device and was not performed.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument, not an algorithm, so standalone algorithm performance is not relevant.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be engineering specifications, established physical properties, and safety standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM standards for materials, electrical safety, optical performance). The document does not specify which exact standards were used.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm.

Device Description:The MicroSpan-Gold Hysteroscope is a small diameter, rigid, fiberoptichysteroscope without through lumens. The device consists of an outerstainless steel shaft, inner illumination fibers, and an imaging fiber bundle.At one end of the imaging bundle is the distal lens and at the other is therotatable eyepiece.

Intended Use of Device:The MicroSpan Gold Hysteroscope is used to permit viewing of the cervicalcanal and the uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic andsurgical procedures.The MicrSpan Hysteroscope Sheath is indicated for use in providing accessto the uterine cavity for the Imagyn Hysteroscope or other hysteroscopicinstruments during diagnostic and operative hysteroscopic procedures.
Technological Comparisons:Light from a high intensity light source (e.g. xenon) is transmitted throughillumination fibers to the distal end of the hysteroscope in order to illuminatethe target object. The distal lens system focuses the image of the object ontoimage fibers, which then transmits the image to the proximal lens system.The proximal lens system magnifies and focuses the image onto an eyepieceat the proximal end of the hysteroscope for viewing and/or directly tostandard video cameras, monitors and recording equipment. The MicroSpanGold Hysteroscope and the predicate devices all have equivalenttechnological characteristics.
