Intended Use
The Gyrus Hysteroscopic Resectoscope is intended to enable the viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures. The surgical applications include tissue cutting, removal, and dissection as required or encountered in gynecologic hysteroscopic electrosurgical procedures for the treatment of intrauterine myomas, polyps, adhesions, and septa.
Device Story
Gyrus Hysteroscopic Resectoscope is an electrosurgical instrument for gynecologic procedures; enables visualization of cervical canal and uterine cavity. Device consists of electrode-specific working element, telescope, and standard sheaths; utilizes 'Quick Connection' for assembly. Surgeon operates device manually via finger controls to manipulate electrodes for cutting, coagulating, and transecting tissue; high-frequency electrical current delivered via cable. Used in clinical settings by physicians to treat intrauterine myomas, polyps, adhesions, and septa. Provides direct visualization and surgical access; facilitates tissue removal and dissection; improves patient outcomes by enabling minimally invasive intrauterine surgery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Pre-clinical and bench-top testing performed to verify performance requirements and efficacy for hysteroscopic usage.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: stainless steel, chrome-plated stainless steel, plastic, brass. Principle: electrosurgical resection/coagulation via high-frequency current. Form factor: hysteroscopic resectoscope with telescope and electrode-specific working element. Connectivity: none. Sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring diagnostic or surgical hysteroscopy, including excision of intrauterine myomas, excision of intrauterine polyps, lysis of intrauterine adhesions, and incision of uterine septa.
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.

| Statement | Information supporting claims of substantial equivalence, as defined under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, respecting safety and effectiveness is summarized below. For the convenience of the Reviewer, this summary is formatted in accordance with the Agency's final rule "...510(k) Summaries and 510(k) Statements..." (21 CFR 807) and can be used to provide a substantial equivalence summary to anyone requesting it from the Agency. |
| | MODIFIED DEVICE NAME: Gyrus Hysteroscopic Resectoscope |
| | PREDICATE DEVICE NAME: COMEG Endoscopy Resectoscope and Karl Storz Hysteroscopic Resectoscope Models 27040/27050. |
| Device Description | The Gyrus Hysteroscopic Resectoscope that we intend to market employs an electrode specific resectoscope-working element. All other sheaths etc., are standard COMEG components. A "Quick Connection" feature is used to attach the working element to the sheath. |
| | Endoscopic electrosurgical instruments and accessories are described under "Endoscope and Accessories" in 21 CFR 876.1500, and Hysteroscopes are described in 21 CFR 884.1690. |
| | The Hysteroscopic Resectoscope is intended to enable the viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity for the purpose of performing diagnostic and surgical procedures. |
| | The surgeon performs the examination through the cervical canal. The working elements are the devices that house and control various electrodes and lasers used to remove cut, coagulate, and transect tissue. The surgeon controls the back and forth movement of the electrode, using finger controls. The working elements also house a telescope for visualization. Current is transmitted to the electrode through a high frequency cable. |
| | These devices are composed of stainless steel, stainless steel chrome plated, plastic and brass chrome plated parts. |
