Circon's Rigid Operative Culdoscopy Accessories are intended to be used with Circon's Rigid Culdoscope and Accessories for viewing pelvic organs endoscopically via a posterior vaginal fornix entry for the purpose of performing diagnostic and operative procedures on the female genital organs. Indications for use are: - Unexplained pelvic pain (acute, chronic) ● - Menstrual abnormalities ● - Infertility and sterility ● - Indefinite pelvic mass ● - . Ectopic pregnancy - . Pelvic endometriosis - Polycystic ovaries ● - Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) ● - . Pain mapping - Congenital anomalies of the pelvic organs ● - Lysis of adhesions ● - Cytology sampling . - Biopsy
Device Story
System consists of tubular stainless steel components; includes operative cannula and operative sheath. Operates by transmitting light from external source via fiber optic light guide to target; distal lens focuses image onto rod lens train; image transmitted to proximal end for viewing via eyepiece or video coupler. Operative sheath creates channel between culdoscope and sheath for passage of small instruments. Used in clinical setting by physicians for endoscopic visualization and operative procedures on female genital organs. Benefits include minimally invasive access to pelvic cavity for diagnosis and treatment.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Tubular stainless steel components; fiber optic illumination; rod lens image transmission; eyepiece or video coupler interface; operative cannula/sheath for instrument passage; reusable; manual operation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for female patients requiring diagnostic or operative procedures on pelvic organs via posterior vaginal fornix entry, including evaluation of unexplained pelvic pain, menstrual abnormalities, infertility, pelvic masses, ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, PID, congenital anomalies, pain mapping, lysis of adhesions, cytology sampling, and biopsy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A colposcope is a device designed to permit direct viewing of the tissues of the vagina and cervix by a telescopic system located outside the vagina. It is used to diagnose abnormalities and select areas for biopsy. This generic type of device may include a light source, cables, and component parts.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a standard colposcope (or colpomicroscope) that uses only a white light source, does not use filters other than a green filter, does not include image analysis software, and is not smartphone-based, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 884.9.

- 2) Name of Device: Rigid Operative Culdoscopy Accessories
Proprietary/Trade Name: Transvaginal Hydro Laparoscopy (THL") System
Common/Usual Name: Culdoscope and Accessories
Classification: Class II (21 CFR §884.1640)
Classification Name: Culdoscope and Accessories
#### 3) Names of Predicate or Legally Marketed Devices:
Circon's Rigid Operative Culdoscopy Accessories are substantially equivalent to ACMI's Decker Operating Culdoscope and accessories and to Circon's Rigid Culdoscope and Accessories. The Decker devices were legally marketed for the same intended use (i.e., culdoscopy) prior to May 28, 1976, and the Circon devices were cleared under 510(k) #K980972 on June 12, 1998.
#### 4) Description of Device:
Circon's Rigid Operative Culdoscopy Accessories consist of several tubular stainless steel components. During culdoscopy, light from a high intensity light source is transmitted to a rigid culdoscope by a fiber optic light guide that is detachably connected to a light post on the body of the scope. The light is carried by the illumination fibers to the target. A distal lens focuses an image of the target onto the rod lens train. The image is transmitted to the proximal end of the scope, where it is magnified and focused by an eyepiece ocular. The image may be viewed directly through the evepiece, or the scope may be connected to a video system via a standard endoscopic video coupler. In order to perform operative procedures, the operative cannula of the subject system replaces the smaller diagnostic cannula of the predicate system, and an operative sheath replaces the smaller diagnostic sheath of the predicate system. A channel is formed between the culdoscope and the operative sheath, thereby allowing passage of small instruments for a variety of operative procedures.

### 6) Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
●
Circon's Rigid Operative Culdoscopy Accessories are substantially equivalent' to the ACMI Decker Operating Culdoscope and to the Circon Rigid Culdoscopes and Accessories. Circon's operative accessories employ the same design considerations and operating pripines as the legally marketed predicate devices, and each can be cleaned, sterilized and reused. Any differences between these devices do not raise new questions regarding safety or effectiveness.
<sup>&#</sup>x27;The term, "substantially equivalent," is intended to reflect a determination of substantial equivalence under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and relates to the fact that the product can be marketed without premarket approval or reclassification. Such a determination is not intended to have any bearing on matters relating to patents.
