The device facilitates tissue cutting, removal, and desiccation. The subject of this modification is the telescopic clip, a component of the resectoscopic electrodes that secures the electrode within the resectoscope. The modification involves changing the material of the telescopic clip from Polypropylene (PP) to Polybutyleneterephthalate (PBT). The device is used by clinicians in a surgical setting to treat intrauterine conditions such as myomas, polyps, adhesions, and septa, and to perform endometrial ablation. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing and biocompatibility testing were performed to verify performance requirements. No clinical data was required or provided. ## Technological Characteristics The device is a resectoscopic electrode component. The telescopic clip material was changed from Polypropylene (PP) to Polybutyleneterephthalate (PBT). The device functions as part of a hysteroscopic electrosurgical system. No changes to sensing, energy source, or form factor were reported. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - VERSAPOINT Electrosurgery System (SCUBA) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
