The Gynescope™ System is intended for the examination of the tissues of the vagina, cervix, and external genitalia, to investigate, by means of magnification, abnormalities such as lesions or cancer. The Gynescope™ System is intended to select areas for biopsy, when indicated. The Gynescope™ Single Use Vaginal Speculum component of the Gynescope™ System is used to dilate the vagina and expose the interior of the vagina and exterior of the cervix during pelvic examinations and other gynecological procedures. The Gynescope™ Single Use Vaginal Speculum can be used only with the Gynescope™ System. The Gynescope™ System is intended for use in hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices.
Device Story
Gynescope™ System is a colposcope platform for gynecological examinations. Input: optical images of vagina, cervix, and external genitalia captured via handheld Image Acquisition System (IAS). IAS uses color/monochrome sensors and white/green LED illumination. IAS attaches to a single-use polycarbonate vaginal speculum, which provides access and prevents direct patient contact. Console processes, stores, and displays images on a 12.2-inch touchscreen; supports external monitor output. Operated by physicians in hospitals/clinics. Device provides magnified visualization to assist in identifying abnormalities and selecting biopsy sites. Benefits include improved visualization and documentation of gynecological tissues.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included electrical safety (IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-11, 60601-2-57), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), imaging evaluation (ISO 8600-3, ISO 8600-5, IEC 62471), and biocompatibility of the speculum (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10). Mechanical testing confirmed speculum integrity and compatibility with standard biopsy instruments.
Technological Characteristics
Handheld IAS with color/monochrome sensors; white/green LED illumination. Polycarbonate single-use speculum. Console with 12.2-inch touchscreen. Magnification 3x-112x; working distance 50-160 mm; auto-focus. Connectivity: DVI-D video output. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-57, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 8600-3, ISO 8600-5, IEC 62471, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10.
Indications for Use
Indicated for examination of vagina, cervix, and external genitalia in patients requiring investigation of abnormalities (e.g., lesions, cancer) and selection of biopsy sites. Used in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices.

# Device Description:
The Gynescope™ System is a colposcope platform for physicians to perform examinations of the vagina, cervix and external genitalia. The Gynescope™ System consists of the following components:
- Gynescope™ Image Acquisition System (IAS) ●
{4}------------------------------------------------
- Gynescope™ System Console .
- Gynescope™ Single Use Vaginal Speculum .
The IAS is a handheld colposcope that includes imaging optics and provides white and green illumination using both centered and side illumination techniques. The IAS also includes color and monochrome sensors. The color sensor is used for standard examinations under white or green illumination, while the monochrome sensor is only used for imaging target tissues under green illumination. Key functions of the device (e.g., magnification, illumination, light source, image capture, etc.) can be operated using a built-in keypad on the IAS. A cable connects the IAS to the Gynescope™ System Console.
During use, the IAS is attached to the Gynescope™ Single Use Vaginal Speculum to form a single body. When combined, the Gynescope™ Single Use Vaginal Speculum provides access to the vaginal cavity and prevents direct contact of the IAS with the patient. This component also includes a separate opening for instruments if needed during an examination. The Gynescope™ Single Use Vaginal Speculum is non-sterile, made of polycarbonate, and is provided in four sizes.
The Gynescope™ System Console is responsible for data processing, storage and display of information to the user. In addition, the Gynescope™ System Console can be used to control functions of the IAS (e.g., magnification, illumination, light source, image capture, etc.). User's interact with the Gynescope™ System Console via a 12.2-inch touchscreen interface. This component also includes a video output connection that allows connection to a peripheral video device (e.g., monitor). A cradle is also mounted on the Gynescope™ System Console that is used to hold and protect the IAS between uses.
### Indications for Use:
The Gynescope™ System is intended for the examination of the tissues of the vagina, cervix, and external genitalia, to investigate, by means of magnification, abnormalities such as lesions or cancer. The Gynescope™M System is intended to select areas for biopsy, when indicated.
The Gynescope™ Single Use Vaginal Speculum component of the Gynescope™ System is used to dilate the vagina and expose the interior of the vagina and exterior of the cervix during pelvic examinations and other gynecological procedures. The Gynescope™ Single Use Vaginal Speculum can be used only with the Gynescope™ System.
The Gynescope™ System is intended for use in hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices.

## Comparison of Intended Use and Technological Characteristics of Subject and Predicate Devices
{5}------------------------------------------------
{6}------------------------------------------------
{7}------------------------------------------------
{8}------------------------------------------------
As shown above, the indications for use of the subject Gynescope™ System is not identical to the predicate device; however, the differences do not represent a new intended use as both devices are used for viewing the vagina, cervix, and external genitalia to aid in diagnosing abnormalities such as lesions or cancer and selecting areas for biopsy.
Regarding technological characteristics, the subject and predicate devices have some similarities in their designs. However, many differences exist as described in the table above (e.g., optical parameters, components, etc.). The differences identified do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device as stated in the table.
