Intended Use
DySIS with Pseudo-Color Imaging (PCI) is a digital colposcope designed to image the cervix and lower genital tract under illumination and magnification. Colposcopy is indicated for women with an abnormal Pap smear in order to affirm normality or detect abnormal appearances consistent with neoplasia, often with directed biopsy. The PCI feature is an adjunctive tool for displaying areas of acetowhitening. It is a tool that should NOT be used as a substitute for a thorough colposcopic evaluation.
Device Story
DySIS is a digital colposcope for magnified imaging of the cervix and lower genital tract. It uses LED illumination and a CCD camera to capture high-resolution images and video. The device features Pseudo-Color Imaging (PCI), which processes digital images to create color-coded maps of acetowhitening intensity, duration, and extent. Operated by clinicians in a clinical setting, the device displays images on a color monitor and touch screen. The clinician performs a standard colposcopic exam first, identifying biopsy sites; the PCI feature serves as an adjunctive tool to potentially identify additional sites. The device includes a database for storing patient data and examination records. It does not automate acetowhitening evaluation; clinicians must not cancel biopsy sites based on PCI output. The system benefits patients by providing enhanced visualization and documentation of the colposcopic examination.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were conducted. Evidence is based on bench testing, including thermal output measurements, timing tolerance for acetic acid application, color calibration, and image alignment algorithm validation. Retrospective patient data analysis confirmed the device meets performance specifications for image registration and PCI value ranges but did not demonstrate clinical superiority over conventional colposcopy.
Technological Characteristics
Digital colposcope with LED illumination and CCD sensor. Features include color touch screen, image/video capture, and database storage. Employs an image alignment algorithm to compensate for patient movement. Connectivity includes digital storage and printing. No specific material standards cited.
Indications for Use
Indicated for women with abnormal Pap smears to evaluate the cervix and lower genital tract for neoplasia, often requiring directed biopsy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A colposcope is a device designed to permit direct viewing of the tissues of the vagina and cervix by a telescopic system located outside the vagina. It is used to diagnose abnormalities and select areas for biopsy. This generic type of device may include a light source, cables, and component parts.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a standard colposcope (or colpomicroscope) that uses only a white light source, does not use filters other than a green filter, does not include image analysis software, and is not smartphone-based, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

# 4. Executive Summary
DySIS is a digital colposcope intended to provide magnified viewing of the vagina, cervix and external genitalia. DySIS is used to diagnose abnormalities and select areas for biopsy. DySIS acquires, displays and documents high-resolution still and sequentially
{1}------------------------------------------------
K09 2433 page 2 of 5
captured images and videos and provides color-coded mapping of the acetowhitening effect to facilitate assessment and documentation.
#### 5. Device Description
DySIS offers non-patient contact, fully digital and high-resolution imaging of the cervix. The field of view is illuminated by an LED; a CCD camera coupled with the imaging optics provides crisp magnified color images. The images can be viewed on a color monitor and on the color touch screen that provides the means to control the device operation.
DySIS offers digital tools to fully document the colposcopic examination:
- Capturing of images for review, storage and printing, video recording .
- Advanced magnification and imaging .
- Operator's annotation of suspicious sites .
- Color-coded mapping of acetowhitening intensity and duration .
- Database that allows storing and retrieving identification and examination data .
## 6. Indications for Use statement
DySIS with Pseudo-Color Imaging (PCI) is a digital colposcope designed to image the cervix and lower genital tract under illumination and magnification. Colposcopy is indicated for women with an abnormal Pap smear in order to affirm normality or detect abnormal appearances consistent with neoplasia, often with directed biopsy. The PCI feature is an adjunctive tool for displaying areas of acetowhitening. It is a tool that should NOT be used as a substitute for a thorough colposcopic evaluation.
## 7. Comparison to predicate devices
The CooperSurgical, Welch-Allyn and Goldway colposcopes permit magnified viewing of the tissues of the vagina, the cervix and external genitalia to identify atypical sites and select sites to biopsy. The Welch-Allyn and Goldway colposcopes feature viewing exclusively via a monitor, whereas the CooperSurgical colposcope also allows direct viewing. These systems also provide documentation capabilities, such as still image and/or video capture (all three) and reporting of the colposcopic predictions
{2}------------------------------------------------
K092433 page 3 of 5
(CooperSurgical and Goldway) and annotation/measurement tools (CooperSurgical). Further, DySIS offers optional color-coded mapping of acetowhitening by processing digital images, in a way similar to that of other medical devices. The DySIS color-coded mapping feature does not interfere with the view of the cervix during the colposcopic exam. It provides the colposcopist with an alternative representation and enhancement of the images captured during the acetowhitening effect. Specifically, the pseudocolor map depicts the extent, intensity and duration of the acetowhitening effect; however, it is not intended to automate the acetowhitening evaluation.
Use of the PCI feature is NOT a substitute for the conventional colposcopic view. When using the DySIS with Pseudo-Color Imaging (PCI) the clinician must ALWAYS first conduct a thorough colposcopic exam and identify and select areas for biopsy. The clinician may then use the Pseudo-Color Imaging (PCI) feature to (possibly) identify one or more additional biopsy sites, but may NEVER cancel any of the biopsy sites initially identified with the conventional colposcopic view.
DySIS is a fully digital colposcope, integrating a high-resolution CCD sensor, LED illumination and additional options to improve ergonomics and documentation of the colposcopic examination.
The provided technical improvements do not raise any questions of safety or effectiveness.
# 8. Non-Clinical Tests Supporting Substantial Equivalence
DySIS has undergone extensive testing to show substantial equivalence to existing colposcopes. The following tests have been performed:
a) LED temperature: Thermal output was measured on a piece of white paper placed at working distance. The temperature at the middle of the paper was measured with two instruments. The paper did not experience any significant increase in temperature after one hour of continuous exposure.
b) Timing Tolerance: This experiment tested the effect of two delay scenarios. The first, imaging delay, occurs when there is a delay between the time of acetic acid delivery and the start of imaging. The second, acetic acid delay, occurs when imaging is
{3}------------------------------------------------
started before acetic acid delivery. In both cases, differences from AUC values where no delay occurred were small and not statistically significant.
c) Acetic acid concentration: This experiment tested the difference in acetowhitening between 3% and 5% acetic acid solutions. As expected the 5% solution exhibited a more extreme aceto-whitening effect. Overall, the experiment indicated that the DySIS map is capable of accurately depicting the aceto-whitening effect regardless of whether a 3% or 5% acetic acid solution is used.
d) Color Calibration: This tested the effects of moving the calibration test card closer or further than the standard focusing distance of 30 cm. An operator was asked to focus from a random distance between +3 mm from focusing distance. The results indicated that Pixel Value (a function of reflected LED brightness) fell within the desired tolerance band of ±2 from points within this range.
Image Alignment: In order to test the effectiveness of the alignment e) algorithm, which is used to account for small movements during the exam, one cervical image was sequentially distorted ten times. The distortions totaled a 20% change from the original, which is equivalent to 7 mm of actual movement. The algorithm was able to compensate to 0.4 mm, well within the acceptable level.
## 9, Clinical Tests Supporting Substantial Equivalence
No clinical studies were conducted to demonstrate improved clinical performance using the PCI feature.
Test results using patient data indicate that the device meets performance specifications related to image registration, acetic acid timing errors, and range of PCI values.
Importantly, the study using retrospective patient data did not demonstrate that the PCI feature is superior to conventional colposcopy in helping the clinician target sites with suspected CIN for biopsy. Therefore, use of the PCI feature is not a substitute for conventional colposcopy. Consequently, the device is designed so that the clinician must perform a standard colposcopy and identify sites for biopsy before he/she can view the PCI image.
{4}------------------------------------------------
K092433 page 5 of 5
The device labeling clearly states that before viewing the PCI image, the clinician should ALWAYS perform colposcopy and commit to biopsy sites on the basis of the colposcopic evaluation. Labeling also states that colposcopically-directed biopsy sites should NEVER be cancelled on the basis of the PCI image
#### 10. Conclusion
The Forth Photonics DySIS digital colposcope has equivalent indications for use and principles of operation to the referenced predicate devices. The additional features of the DySIS digital colposcope over the predicate devices do not raise any questions of safety and effectiveness. Thus, the DySIS digital colposcope is substantially equivalent to legally marketed colposcopes.
