The device description details a simple, non-electronic, manual surgical instrument made of stainless steel, with no mention of any computational or data-driven components.
No
The device, described as hooks and tenaculums, is used to "snare, grasp, hold & manipulate cervical and intravaginal tissue." This function is manipulative and assistive in a medical procedure, not therapeutic in itself.
No
The device description indicates its use for snaring, grasping, holding, and manipulating tissue, which are actions related to surgical or procedural support rather than diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is made of stainless steel and describes physical characteristics like length and diameter, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "Snare, grasp, hold & manipulate cervical and intravaginal tissue." This describes a physical manipulation of tissue within the body, not the examination of samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical instrument (hooks and tenaculums) used for grasping and manipulating tissue. This aligns with a surgical or procedural instrument, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely mechanical manipulation of tissue.

Device Description
The Gynex Iris and Angle Hooks & Emmett Tenaculums are made of 302 instrument grade stainless steel. All are used in similar way, each being a hook-like device used to snare, grasp, hold and manipulate the cervix, fundus and adjacent soft tissue. The important difference between the styles is that the radius of the hook tip is much smaller in the "Iris" and "angle" hook types. The devices are slender tapered metal rods, knurled on the proximal end and formed into a fine arc (hook) on the distal or working end. The devices are used to snare, hold and manipulate cervical and intravaginal tissue. Overall length of the hook/tenaculums is approximately 250mm for each type. The diameter of the hook tips is approximately 3mm for the Iris/angle styles and 8mm for the Emmett tenaculum style hook.

(a)
Identification. An obstetric-gynecologic specialized manual instrument is one of a group of devices used during obstetric-gynecologic procedures to perform manipulative diagnostic and surgical functions (e.g., dilating, grasping, measuring, and scraping), where structural integrity is the chief criterion of device performance. This type of device consists of the following:(1) An amniotome is an instrument used to rupture the fetal membranes.
(2) A circumcision clamp is an instrument used to compress the foreskin of the penis during circumcision of a male infant.
(3) An umbilical clamp is an instrument used to compress the umbilical cord.
(4) A uterine curette is an instrument used to scrape and remove material from the uterus.
(5) A fixed-size cervical dilator is any of a series of bougies of various sizes used to dilate the cervical os by stretching the cervix.
(6) A uterine elevator is an instrument inserted into the uterus used to lift and manipulate the uterus.
(7) A gynecological surgical forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used to pull, grasp, or compress during gynecological examination.
(8) A cervical cone knife is a cutting instrument used to excise and remove tissue from the cervix.
(9) A gynecological cerclage needle is a looplike instrument used to suture the cervix.
(10) A hook-type contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) remover is an instrument used to remove an IUD from the uterus.
(11) A gynecological fibroid screw is an instrument used to hold onto a fibroid.
(12) A uterine sound is an instrument used to determine the depth of the uterus by inserting it into the uterine cavity.
(13) A cytological cervical spatula is a blunt instrument used to scrape and remove cytological material from the surface of the cervix or vagina.
(14) A gynecological biopsy forceps is an instrument with two blades and handles used for gynecological biopsy procedures.
(15) A uterine tenaculum is a hooklike instrument used to seize and hold the cervix or fundus.
(16) An internal pelvimeter is an instrument used within the vagina to measure the diameter and capacity of the pelvis.
(17) A nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument used to expose the interior of the vagina.
(18) A fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum is a nonmetal instrument, with fiberoptic light, used to expose and illuminate the interior of the vagina.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an umbilical clamp with or without a cutter, a uterine tenaculum which is sterile and does not use suction and is intended for single use, a nonmetal vaginal speculum, or a fiberoptic nonmetal vaginal speculum, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.(2) Class I for the amniotome, uterine curette, cervical dilator (fixed-size bougies), cerclage needle, IUD remover, uterine sound, and gynecological biopsy forceps. 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.
