More Information

Not Found

None

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The device description focuses on its similarity to existing, non-AI/ML predicate devices.

No
The device is described as diagnostic in nature, intended for diagnosing tubo-peritoneal infertility, not for treating it.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The device is indicated for use in the diagnosis of tubo-peritoneal infertility." The "Summary of Performance Studies" also mentions it provides a "diagnostic sequence."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Fertiloscopy Kit" and compares it to a combination of cleared devices which include physical components like a THL System, Catheter, Hysteroscope Sheath, and Trocar. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The Fertiloscopy Kit is used for direct visualization and procedures within the human body (transvaginal hydro-laparoscopy, dye-test, salpingoscopy, and hysteroscopy).
  • The intended use describes a diagnostic procedure performed in vivo (within a living organism). It involves directly examining the uterus, tubes, ovary, and peritoneum.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or specimens.

The device is a surgical/diagnostic instrument used for direct visualization and intervention within the patient's body, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically IVDs.

Summary of Performance Studies

Soprane has conducted leak testing of the balloon during inflation and sterility testing of the materials following sterilization. In a clinical study of 160 patients, Fertiloscopy was shown to provide a "diagnostic sequence giving, in a one time procedure, a complete and informative status of the uterus, tubes, ovary, and peritoneum."

§ 884.1640 Culdoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A culdoscope is a device designed to permit direct viewing of the organs within the peritoneum by a telescopic system introduced into the pelvic cavity through the posterior vaginal fornix. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures on the female genital organs. This generic type of device may include trocar and cannula, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheaters, light source and cables, and component parts.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for culdoscope 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 culdoscope accessory instruments include: lens cleaning brush, biopsy brush, clip applier (without clips), applicator, cannula (without trocar or valves), ligature carrier/needle holder, clamp/hemostat/grasper, curette, instrument guide, ligature passing and knotting instrument, suture needle (without suture), retractor, mechanical (noninflatable), snare, stylet, forceps, dissector, mechanical (noninflatable) scissors, and suction/irrigation probe. 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.

Classification Name

Rigid culdoscope and accessories (21 C.F.R. § 884.1640); semi-rigid hysteroscope and accessories (21 C.F.R. § 884.1690); cannula. manipulator/injector, uterine; and reposable surgical trocar (21 C.F.R. $ 884.1720)

Predicate Devices

  • Circon Corporation's ("Circon") Transvaginal Hydro® Laparoscopy . ("THLTM") System;

1

  • Cook OB/GYN's ("Cook") Intrauterine Balloon Access Catheter ("IBA . Catheter"):
  • Imagyn Medical, Inc.'s ("Imagyn") MicroSpan Hysteroscope Sheath . ("MicroSpan"); and
  • Origin Medsystems, Inc.'s ("Origin") Blunt Tip Trocar. .

Intended Use

The Fertiloscopy Kit is intended to be used for transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy, dye-test, salpingoscopy, and hysteroscopy during one procedure. The device is indicated for use in the diagnosis of tuboperitoneal infertility.

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The Fertiloscopy Kit has the same general intended use and similar principles of operation and technological characteristics as a combination of Circon's cleared THL, Cook's cleared IBA Catheter, Imagyn's cleared MicroSpan, and Origin's cleared Blunt Tip Trocar. The minor technological differences between the Fertiloscopy Kit and the Imagyn MicroSpan, Cook IBA Catheter, Circon THL, and Origin Blunt Tip Trocar do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, the Fertiloscopy Kit is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.

Performance Data

Soprane has conducted leak testing of the balloon during inflation and sterility testing of the materials following sterilization. In a clinical study of 160 patients, Fertiloscopy was shown to provide a "diagnostic sequence giving, in a one time procedure, a complete and informative status of the uterus, tubes, ovary, and peritoneum."

Conclusion

The Fertiloscopy Kit's substantial equivalence is based on a narrative comparison of this device and its predicate devices' intended use, principles of operation and technological characteristics and bench testing and clinical testing.
