No
The summary describes a mechanical biopsy device and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No.
The intended use explicitly states, "The Rubicor Breast Biopsy Device is to be used for diagnostic purposes only and is not intended for therapeutic uses."

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "The Rubicor Breast Biopsy Device is intended for diagnostic sampling of breast tissue during breast biopsy procedure" and "The Rubicor Breast Biopsy Device is to be used for diagnostic purposes only".

No

The device description and intended use clearly indicate a physical breast biopsy device, not a software-only product. The predicate devices are also physical biopsy systems.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Rubicor Breast Biopsy Device is used to obtain the tissue sample from the breast. It is a tool used during a medical procedure on the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "diagnostic sampling of breast tissue during breast biopsy procedure." This is a procedure performed on the patient, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

While the tissue sample obtained by this device will likely be used for in vitro diagnostic testing (e.g., pathology examination), the device itself is not an IVD. It's a surgical/procedural device used to collect the sample.
