For rapid transcervical aspiration of the uterine cavity.
Device Story
The Berkeley® VC-10 Vacuum Curettage System is a medical device designed for the rapid transcervical aspiration of the uterine cavity. It functions as a vacuum-based suction system to facilitate uterine procedures. The system consists of a vacuum unit and associated disposables. It is intended for use by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. The device operates by generating controlled vacuum pressure to perform aspiration. By providing a reliable suction mechanism, the system assists clinicians in performing uterine cavity procedures efficiently, potentially improving procedural outcomes for patients requiring such interventions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing was conducted to determine vacuum performance and to validate the sterilization of disposables used with the system.
Technological Characteristics
Vacuum-based suction system; includes vacuum unit and disposable accessories. Sterilization validation performed for disposables. No specific materials or software algorithms described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for rapid transcervical aspiration of the uterine cavity.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A vacuum abortion system is a device designed to aspirate transcervically the products of conception or menstruation from the uterus by using a cannula connected to a suction source. This device is used for pregnancy termination or menstrual regulation. This type of device may include aspiration cannula, vacuum source, and vacuum controller.

Trade/Device Name: Berkeley® VC-10 Vacurette Curettage System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.5070 Regulation Name: Vacuum abortion system Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.1175 Regulation Name: Endometrial suction curette and accessories Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 85 HHI and HHK Dated: March 21, 2003 Received: March 25, 2003
Dear Mr. Fucile:
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.
{2}------------------------------------------------
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.
