The device description clearly outlines a physical, fiber optic endoscope with a light source and optical components, which are hardware. The performance studies also focus on the structural integrity and optical performance of the physical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "visualization of the cervical canal and uterine cavity for diagnostic and surgical procedures." This involves directly viewing internal body structures.
- Device Description: The description details a fiber optic endoscope that transmits light and images for direct viewing or transmission to a monitor. This is a tool for in vivo (within the living body) examination.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the living body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any analysis on such specimens.
The device is a medical device used for direct visualization within the body, not for in vitro diagnostic testing of samples.

Device Description
The Galileo Disposable Hysteroscopes are a line of disposable endoscopes based on existing endoscope technology. The Galileo Disposable Hysteroscopes will be available in several sizes and lengths.
The Galileo Disposable Hysteroscopes are fiber optic design endoscopes that are offered in disposable configurations only. Fiberoptic design endoscopes function by light being transmitted from a standard external high intensity light source through optical fibers to the distal tip of the endoscope. The image of the target is then transmitted from the distal end via an objective lens and a fiberoptic imaging bundle to a proximal eyepiece. The image can be viewed directly or it may be transmitted through a video camera to a video monitor.
The Disposable Hysteroscopes are offered with a coupler that includes a light source which is provided by Galileo Electro-Optics Corporation. The Galileo coupler is compatible only with the Galileo Disposable Hysteroscopes and the other cleared commercially available Galileo endoscopes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Testing was performed to:
- determine the capability of the units to transmit image after deflection of the sheath portion of the device through a specific set of distances, and
- demonstrate that the polyimide sheath is equivalent to the stainless steel sheath in the framework of the rigid scope.
Samples of each type of hysteroscope containing the lens, image fiber, and illumination fiber were used for this testing. A baseline optical test was performed prior to the deflection test. The deflection test was performed by holding the shaft of one sample in one of the jaws of an Instron Tensile Tester and applying weight at the other end of the shaft until a desired deflection was obtained or until the tube is damaged at the plane it is held at in the fixture. All samples were tested ensuring the distance from the point of hold to the point of application of weight is constant. The hysteroscope assemblies were then retested for the desired image conduction properties.
The acceptance criteria for this testing were all optical tests performed before and after the deflection test of the sample must pass the optical acceptance criteria.
The field of view, angle of view, resolution on axis and uniformity of illumination were evaluated for acceptance criteria. The results of this testing showed that both the stainless steel and the polyimide sheathed sample scopes showed no change in any tested optical performance criteria. These results demonstrate that both samples maintained structural integrity of the optics assembly when subjected to the test protocol.
Testing was also performed to determine thermal safety of the Galileo Disposable Hysteroscopes according to IEC 601-2-18. The Disposable Hysteroscopes passed the Thermal Safety Testing. Electrical safety testing will also be performed on the Disposable Hysteroscopes prior to commercial distribution.

K 981828 1204
The Galileo Disposable Hysteroscopes and the substantially equivalent devices are similar in designs in that they all offer various configurations including rod/lens or fiberoptic design, optional working channels, several OD's and lengths, and use external light sources, and similar stainless steel materials.
The Galileo Disposable Hysteroscopes and the substantially equivalent devices are similar in technological characteristics in that they offer a channel for either viewing body cavities, tissues, organs or canals and an optional channel for passing instruments into the desired anatomical sites.
Testing was performed to:
- determine the capability of the units to transmit image after deflection of the . sheath portion of the device through a specific set of distances, and
- demonstrate that the polyimide sheath is equivalent to the stainless steel sheath . in the framework of the rigid scope.
