The Hysteroscope System is intended to be used to permit viewing of the cervical canal and uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures. Note: Hysteroscopes are used as tools to access the uterine cavity and of themselves, a method of surgery. Generally recognized indications for diagnostic hysteroscopy include: - Abnormal bleeding - · Infertility and pregnancy wastage - · Evaluation of abnormal hysterosalpingogram - · Intrauterine foreign body - · Amenorrhea - · Pelvic pain Generally recognized indications for operative hysteroscopy include: - · Directed endometrial biopsy - · Polypectomy - Submucous myomectomy - · Transection of intrauterine adhesions - · Transection of intrauterine septa - · Endometrial ablation

Device Story

Hysteroscope System consists of sterile, single-use rigid hysteroscope and video processor. CMOS chip at distal end of scope collects anatomical images; transmitted via processor to external monitor for physician viewing. Used in clinical settings by physicians to visualize cervical canal and uterine cavity during diagnostic and surgical procedures. Provides real-time visual guidance for interventions like biopsy, polypectomy, and myomectomy. Benefits include direct visualization of intrauterine pathology, facilitating minimally invasive gynecological procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, -10), sterilization validation (ISO 11135), electrical safety/EMC (IEC 60601-1, -2-18, -1-2), optical performance (ISO 8600 series), and mechanical performance (leaking, bending, irrigation) met predefined acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Rigid hysteroscope with CMOS sensor; LED illumination. Models: GSA01-B (straight, no operative channel), GSB04-B (straight, operative channel), GSB14-B (curved tip, operative channel). Working length 260mm. Power: 5V. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO). Software: Moderate level of concern.

Indications for Use

Indicated for diagnostic and surgical procedures of the cervical canal and uterine cavity. Patient population includes those with abnormal bleeding, infertility, pregnancy wastage, abnormal hysterosalpingogram, intrauterine foreign bodies, amenorrhea, or pelvic pain. Also indicated for directed endometrial biopsy, polypectomy, submucous myomectomy, transection of intrauterine adhesions/septa, and endometrial ablation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A hysteroscope is a device used to permit direct viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity by a telescopic system introduced into the uterus through the cervix. It is used to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures other than sterilization. This generic type of device may include obturators and sheaths, instruments used through an operating channel, scope preheaters, light sources and cables, and component parts.
