Intended Use

The Sonopsy aspiration needle is intended to percutaneously obtain abdominal tissue including the liver, prostate, kidney, breast, lymph node, and other soft tissues using ultrasonic visualization.

Device Description

Needle size: 14G to 21G, 80 to 200mm Needle tip: Biopsy point Inner needle tip: pencil point or trocar point Suction syringe: 7 ml Plunger slide: 35 mm Guide needle size: L=50 to 80 mm or without Guide needle tip: Lancet point or blunt end Filter paper: size 20x35mm, 3 pieces

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for a medical device, the "Sonopsy Aspiration Biopsy Needle." This type of submission establishes substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study in the way a novel AI or diagnostic device might.

Therefore, the information requested regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth for training/test sets is not applicable to this type of regulatory submission.

Here's why:

  • 510(k) for Substantial Equivalence: A 510(k) premarket notification demonstrates that a new device is "substantially equivalent" to a predicate device already legally marketed. This process primarily focuses on comparing the new device's technological characteristics and intended use to the predicate, rather than conducting new clinical trials to establish performance against pre-defined clinical acceptance criteria.
  • Device Type: The Sonopsy Aspiration Biopsy Needle is a Class II gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument. These are typically mechanical devices where performance is assessed through bench testing (e.g., needle sharpness, strength, material compatibility) and comparison of specifications to predicate devices. Clinical studies with human subjects to determine performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy (as would be relevant for an AI diagnostic tool) are generally not required for this type of device to obtain 510(k) clearance.

The key takeaway from the provided text is that the device was deemed substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed (INRAD/MANAM Accucore Biopsy Needle, E-Z-EM, INC. Lufkin Aspiration Needle, DAUM Corp. DAUM Aspiration Needle) based on its technological characteristics and intended use, which is sufficient for 510(k) clearance.

If this were an AI-powered diagnostic device, a much more comprehensive study section detailing the points you've listed would be present.

Re: K013109 Trade/Device Name: HAKKO Sonopsy Biopsy Needle Set Regulation Number: 21 CFR §876.1075 Regulation Name: Gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 78 FCG Dated: December 21, 2001 Received: December 26, 2001

Dear Mr. Kitagawa

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
