Intended Use
THE SONOHYSTEROGRAPHY CATHETER (5 Fr) IS INDICATED FOR USE TO FILL THE UTERUS WITH STERILE SALINE TO FACILITATE THE ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION OF THE UTERUS
Device Story
5F SH Catheter is a manual medical device used by physicians in clinical settings to facilitate sonohysterography. The device consists of a 5 French, 32 cm single-lumen catheter with a distal side port and a female luer-lock hub, paired with a semi-rigid introducing sheath (17.5 cm). The sheath features a flanged, rounded distal end to minimize tissue trauma during insertion. The catheter is banded with non-toxic ink for depth visualization. In operation, the physician inserts the device to deliver sterile saline into the uterine cavity. This saline distension improves the visualization of the uterine cavity during ultrasound imaging, aiding the physician in diagnostic assessment. The device is intended for prescription use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on descriptive comparison of technological characteristics, materials, and intended use.
Technological Characteristics
5 French diameter, 32 cm length single-lumen catheter; semi-rigid introducing sheath (17.5 cm). Materials are biocompatible. Sterilization via Ethylene Oxide. Manual operation; no energy source, software, or electrical components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in patients undergoing ultrasound examination of the uterus, requiring uterine filling with sterile saline.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.

10-Substantial Equivalency is claimed against the following device:
- Ultra Catheter Set for Sonohysterography, from Lyco Enterprises, Inc. ●
- 11-Description of the Device:
The device is to be used by physicians in hospitals
The 5F SH catheter consists of two parts: a single lumen catheter and a semi-rigid introducing sheath.
The catheter is available in a 5 French diameter with a length of 32 cm. The distal end has a side port. The proximal end is fitted with a female luer-lock hub. The catheter is banded with a non-toxic ink 7 cm from the distal tip
The semi-rigid sheath has an internal diameter to allow movement over the catheter and a wall thickness sufficient to provide semi-rigid flexibility. The sheath is 17.5 cm long and flanged and rounded at the distal end to provide a non-traumatic surface to the tissues. The proximal end allows for temporary fixation over the proximal hub of the catheter.

Dear Mr. Mansour:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
{4}------------------------------------------------
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.
