# 3. Predicate Devices
The subject devices have been previously cleared for urological indications under K152092 (product codes FAS / FJL).
{4}------------------------------------------------
The predicate devices have not been subject to a design-related recall.
No reference devices were used in this submission.
## 4. Product Description
The Olympus Resection Electrodes that are subject to this submission are for application in saline. Depending on the characteristics of electrical current, which is provided by the electrosurgical generator, electrosurgery can be used for coagulation, vaporization and cutting.
The subject HF-Resection Electrodes consist of an active tip, PTFE color code identification, an insulator between the electrode and electrode tube, a guiding tube, telescope clip and arm (shaft).
The design and dimensions of the electrodes vary to accommodate various procedural conditions. The active tips of the various electrodes may consist of loops, rollers, needles or buttons.
All subject Resection Electrodes are single-use electrodes and are delivered sterile and are used in combination with a reusable HF cable (the HF cable is not subject to this submission).
## 5. Indications for Use
Electrodes are part of a resectoscope system for endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in gynecological applications.
The general indications include transcervical resection, vaporization, ablation, cutting and coagulation of tissue in the uterus in saline irrigation fluid.
Specific indications:
- transcervical diagnosis and treatment (resection, vaporization, ablation, biopsy, cutting and coagulation) of intrauterine myomas, intrauterine polyps, synechias and endometrium (TCRis)
- lysis of intrauterine septa -
- endometrial ablation
Although the subject and predicate devices have different indications for use statements, the intended use is the same. The subject device is indicated for gynecologic applications while the predicate device is indicated for urological indications. However, when the decision-making criteria specified in the FDA
{5}------------------------------------------------
guidance document, "General/Specific Intended Use," (issued November 4, 1998) are applied, the subject device indications are determined to fall within the scope of the intended use of the predicate device. The specific gynecology indications of the subject device do not represent a different intended use since there is an extensive knowledge base regarding the use of bipolar electrosurgery for gynecological applications, including the disease states listed in the specific gynecologic indications. Therefore, the intended use comparison supports substantial equivalence.
## 6. Comparison of Technological characteristics
The subject and predicate devices are identical in design and are based on the same technological principle with the same elements:
- Identical in design
- I Used in combination with a resectoscope system (identical to predicate)
- I Like the predicate electrodes, the subject device resection electrode series features loops, needles, rollers, and buttons as active tip shapes
- I Utilizing resection in saline as mode of ablation (identical to predicate)
## 7. Performance Data
The subject device is identical in design and manufacturing to the predicate device (K152092). Therefore, the current submission relies on performance testing previously reviewed and deemed acceptable in K152092.
## 8. Sterilization and Shelf Life
Sterilization is performed according to ISO 11135 and packaging conforms with ISO 11607-1. Since the subject device is identical in design and manufacturing to the predicate device, the current submission relies on sterilization and packaging validation testing previously reviewed and deemed acceptable in K152092.
## 9. Conclusion
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
