Sheath with integrated stopcocks are used in conjunction with a hysteroscope to permit direct viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures.
Device Story
The Sheath and Stopcock Accessory is a reusable, rigid stainless steel sheath and stopcock assembly used with a hysteroscope. It provides a conduit for a 3 mm hysteroscope and a 5 Fr instrument channel. The device features three ports: one for irrigation, one for instruments, and one for the hysteroscope. Irrigation fluid is controlled via a PEEK and stainless steel stopcock and flows out between the sheath and the cervix. The device is used in clinical settings by physicians to facilitate endoscopic imaging and the delivery of surgical instruments to the uterine cavity. It is provided non-sterile and requires cleaning and steam sterilization between uses. The device allows for direct visualization of the cervical canal and uterine cavity, aiding in diagnostic and surgical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10) confirmed the device is non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating. Mechanical performance testing validated irrigation flow, interface resistance (inflow, scope, instrument), and structural integrity of the sheath tube and support ring. Thermal and electrical safety were verified against AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, and IEC 60601-2-18 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Stainless steel, PEEK. Dimensions: 206.7 ± 0.15 mm working length. Design: Rigid sheath with 3-port configuration (irrigation, instrument, hysteroscope). Connectivity: Mechanical interface for hysteroscope and camera head. Sterilization: Steam sterilization. Standards: ISO 10993-1, ISO 14971:2007, AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, AAMI/ANSI IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-2-18.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in conjunction with a hysteroscope for direct visualization of the cervical canal and uterine cavity to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures in patients requiring hysteroscopy.
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.

The predicate device has not been subject to a design-related recall.
#### 4 Device Description
The subject device is a reusable sheath (Part WA4777A) and stopcock (Part WA47778A), provided non-sterile and labeled for reprocessing via cleaning and steam sterilization.
The sheath is a rigid instrument made from stainless steel. The sheath has a working length of 206.7 ± 0.15 mm. The sheath has a single lumen shaped to allow for both, insertion of one 3 mm hysteroscope as well as a 5 Fr instrument channel for the instrument and irrigation inflow. There are three ports, one for irrigation, one for instruments, and one for the hysteroscope. There is no outflow channel for the irrigation fluid; the irrigation fluid flows out between the sheath and the cervix channel. A hysteroscope can be inserted into the hysteroscope channel of the sheath from the proximal end to provide an endoscopic image during the procedure. The endoscopic image can be viewed using the ocular or by connecting a compatible camera head. Compatible surgical instruments can be inserted into the instrument channel of the sheath. The irrigation stopcock made from stainless steel and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) can be used to control the inflow of the irrigation fluid. The instrument stopcock controls the passage of the surgical instruments.
- Indications for Use 5
The subject device has the following indications for use:
Sheath with integrated stopcocks are used in conjunction with a hysteroscope to permit direct viewing of the cervical canal and the uterine cavity to perform diagnostic and surgical procedures.
The subject and predicate device have the same intended use, to allow medical equipment to be delivered to procedural sites. There are no intended use concerns with the subject device.
- Comparison of Technological Characteristics 6
The technological characteristics of the subject device are considered substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference device.
- 6.1 Comparison of subject and predicate device
The subject and predicate device share the following characteristics:
- Same general indications for use
{5}------------------------------------------------
- . Similar cross-sectional and shaft design
- Same patient contacting materials ●
- Comparative testing showed that the subject device has equivalent performance ● in respect to the irrigation fluid outflow
The following differences to the predicate device exist:
- Subject device does not incorporate an inner sheath ●
- The working length and lumen diameters are different .
- Subject device has no irrigation holes at distal end, since irrigation fluid outflow is . not inside the shaft between inner and outer sheath
As stated above, the subject and predicate devices have similar design characteristics and show comparable performance. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
#### 7 Performance Data
The following performance data was provided to support a determination of substantial equivalence.
## 7.1 Biocompatibility testing
The patient contacting materials of the sheath and stopcock have been tested for biocompatibility in compliance with the FDA quidance document Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process", dated September 2020:
- Cytotoxicity according to ISO 10993-5:2009; -
- Sensitization according to ISO 10993-10:2010; and -
- -Intracutaneous Irritation according to ISO 10993-10:2010
The results showed that the subject device was non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and nonirritating.
## 7.2 Performance Testing Bench
To demonstrate substantial equivalence and address mechanical performance as recommended in the FDA guidance document "Hysteroscopes and Gynecologic Laparoscopes", dated March 7, 1996, mechanical resistance of the inflow interface, scope interface and instrument interface, resistance of the sheath tube, resistance of the supporting ring of the optic quide plate, resistance against repeated assembly/disassembly, and irrigation inflow and outflow were compared during comparative validation testing.
These bench tests demonstrated that comparable flow could be achieved during operation and addressed the mechanical performance recommendations outlined in the guidance.
## 7.3 Electrical and Thermal Safety
A risk analysis was carried out in accordance with established internal acceptance criteria based on ISO 14971:2007.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The subject device was evaluated for thermal and electrical safety, to demonstrate the subject device is not a heat hazard and compatible with energized devices, according to the following standards:
- Heat hazard assessment per AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and -A1:2012, C1:2009/(R)2012 and A2:2010/(R)2012;
- Safety with electrocautery devices per AAMI/ANSI IEC 60601-2-2:2017; and -
- Basic endoscopic safety per IEC 60601-2-18:2009 -
## 7.4 Reprocessing/ Sterilization
Reprocessing instructions and method validation testing for the subject device was conducted and documentation provided as recommended by the FDA guidance document "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Setting: Validation Methods and Labeling", dated March 17, 2015.
- 8 Conclusion
The performance data summarized above demonstrate that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
