More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical device for sample collection and lacks any mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is described as an "Endometrial Sampler" intended for "Histological biopsy of the uterine mucosal lining or sample extraction of uterine menstrual content," which are diagnostic procedures, not therapeutic ones.

Yes
The device is used for histological biopsy, which involves the removal of tissue for microscopic examination to establish a diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states "Endometrial Sampler," which is a physical instrument used for tissue collection, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Histological biopsy of the uterine mucosal lining or sample extraction of uterine menstrual content." This describes a procedure to obtain a sample from the body, not a test performed on a sample in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: "Endometrial Sampler" further supports that this is a device for collecting a sample, not for performing a diagnostic test on that sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing a sample (blood, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in a sample
    • Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis

This device appears to be a surgical or procedural device used to obtain a sample for subsequent diagnostic testing (which might be an IVD test, but the sampler itself is not).

Dear Mr. Engineer:

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 legally marketed predicate 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, market the device, 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 (Special Controls) or 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) 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 requlatory 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 the Electronic Product 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.
