More Information

No
The summary describes a reusable handheld surgical instrument for viewing and resecting/coagulating soft tissue. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML capabilities. The device description focuses on its mechanical function and intended use in surgical procedures.

Yes.
The device's intended use explicitly states it is for "therapeutic surgical procedures" and lists specific therapeutic applications such as "Excision of intrauterine myomas" and "Lysis of intrauterine adhesions."

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended to "enable the viewing" and "means for endoscopic diagnostic" procedures, and that the "Resectoscopes and Accessories are indicated for use in diagnostic examination".

No

The device description explicitly states it is a reusable handheld instrument and includes physical components like sheaths and electrode devices, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for surgical procedures (viewing, resection, coagulation, cutting, removal, dissection of soft tissue) performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "reusable handheld instrument designed for a means of performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures," which aligns with surgical tools, not devices used to test samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device operates directly on the patient's tissue during a surgical procedure.

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 Ms. Henke:

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 III (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 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 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.
