Intended Use
The MatrixBrush Endometrial Sampler is used to obtain endometrial cells for microscopic examination and/or for microbiology cultures.
Device Story
MatrixBrush Endometrial Sampler is a sterile, single-use device for collecting endometrial tissue samples. It features a spirally twisted stainless steel core covered by plastic with marked gradations, a nylon brush head at the distal end, and an atraumatic plastic bulb to prevent penetration. A moveable plastic sheath covers the brush head and shaft. The device is operated by a clinician to collect cells for microscopic examination or microbiology cultures. The design facilitates safe tissue retrieval, with the atraumatic bulb protecting the patient during insertion and sampling.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. In vitro testing was conducted to evaluate the adherence of the bristles and brush head to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile, single-use endometrial brush. Materials: stainless steel core, plastic covering, nylon brush head. Features: spirally twisted shaft with gradations, atraumatic plastic bulb, moveable plastic sheath. Mechanical device; no energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for obtaining endometrial cells for microscopic examination and/or microbiology cultures in patients requiring endometrial sampling.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An endometrial brush is a device designed to remove samples of the endometrium (the mucosal lining of the uterus) by brushing its surface. This device is used to study endometrial cytology (cells).
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II. The special controls for this device are:(1) FDA's:
(i) “Use of International Standard ISO 10993 ‘Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part I: Evaluation and Testing,’ ” and

Device The MatrixBrush Endometrial Sampler is a sterile, single-use endometrial Description: tissue sampling device. The MatrixBrush shaft is comprised of a spirally twisted stainless steel core covered by plastic with marked gradations. A nylon brush head at the distal end of the device collects a tissue sample and an atraumatic plastic bulb located on the extreme distal end protects the patient from penetration. A moveable plastic sheath overlies the brush head and device shaft.
Intended Use: The MatrixBrush Endometrial Sampler is used to obtain endometrial cells for microscopic examination and/or for microbiology cultures.
As an element of demonstrating safety and effectiveness of the MatrixBrush Summary of Endometrial Sampler and substantial equivalence to the predicate device, in Non-Clinical Data Submitted: vitro testing to evaluate adherence of the bristles and brush head was completed.
Safety and Effectiveness: This premarket notification has demonstrated the differences between the MatrixBrush Endometrial Sampler and predicate device do not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The subject and predicate device are substantially equivalent in terms of intended use and technological characteristics. Non-clinical mechanical test results demonstrate the MatrixBrush performance is satisfactory and suitable for its intended use. The MatrixBrush Endometrial Sampler is therefore determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate device.
