Intended Use
HTx disposable hysteroscope system is intended to be used for viewing of the cervical canal and uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and operative procedures.
Device Story
The HTx Disposable Hysteroscope System is a single-use endoscopic device for gynecological procedures. It consists of a disposable cannula module (containing a CMOS camera and LED illumination) and a reusable image system module. The device is used in hospitals and physician offices by trained medical professionals. During a procedure, the cannula is inserted into the cervical canal; the CMOS camera captures video data, which is transmitted via an image cable to the reusable image system. The image system processes the video and outputs it to a medical-grade display. The cannula features buttons for video recording, image capture, and LED brightness control. An external PC with patient management software can connect to the image system via LAN for data management. The device provides real-time visualization of the uterine cavity, enabling clinicians to perform diagnostic and operative tasks, potentially improving procedural accuracy and patient outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993), electrical safety/EMC (IEC 60601-1, 60601-2-18, 60601-1-2), and optical performance testing (ISO 8600-1, ISO 8600-3, IEC 62471).
Technological Characteristics
Disposable cannula with CMOS sensor (400x400 pixels) and LED illumination. Working length 240mm, overall 330mm. Cannula diameters 4.5mm and 6.2mm. Reusable image system module with DVI output and USB interface. Sterilization via ethylene oxide (ISO 11135:2014). Software is Moderate Level of Concern. Connectivity via LAN for external PC patient management.
Indications for Use
Indicated for viewing the cervical canal and uterine cavity in adults for diagnostic and operative procedures.
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.
