Intended Use
The Biopsy Sciences, LLC., Maxi-Cell Biopsy Needles are intended to be used for fine needle biopsies of various soft organs and tissues, including, but not limited to, biopsies for breast, lung, thyroid, liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and prostate
Device Description
The biopsy needle is a single lumen needle, identical in design to the predicate, from Sherwood Medical. The shaft of the needle has been modified to provide additional sampling sites approximately 0.40inches proximal to the needle tip. Once the needle is positioned at the site of interest, the stylet is removed and the needle is manually advanced to obtain a freehand needle biopsy of tissue, or aspirate, while suction is applied with a syringe. Then as the needle is withdrawn, the side-sampling site will also remove tissue, allowing the physician to collect at least twice the amount of tissue sample typically removed by a biopsy needle. The needle is made of ASTM type 304 stainless steel, as is the stylet.

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical design of the biopsy needle and its manual operation, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a biopsy needle used for tissue sampling, not for treating a condition or disease.

No
Explanation: This device, a biopsy needle, is used to collect tissue samples. While these samples are later analyzed for diagnostic purposes, the needle itself is an instrument for sample collection, not for performing the diagnostic analysis or interpretation.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical biopsy needle made of stainless steel, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

Based on the provided information, the Biopsy Sciences, LLC., Maxi-Cell Biopsy Needles are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens outside of the body. They are used to diagnose diseases or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease. Examples include blood tests, urine tests, and genetic tests.
  • The Maxi-Cell Biopsy Needles are used to collect tissue samples from within the body. The device itself is a tool for obtaining a specimen, not for analyzing it.

The description clearly states the needles are used for "fine needle biopsies of various soft organs and tissues" and that the physician uses them to "collect tissue sample". This is a procedure for obtaining a sample, which would then likely be sent to a laboratory for in vitro analysis (which would be performed using IVD devices).

Therefore, the Maxi-Cell Biopsy Needles are a surgical or procedural device used for tissue collection, not an IVD device.

§ 876.1075 Gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument.

(a)
Identification. A gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument is a device used to remove, by cutting or aspiration, a specimen of tissue for microscopic examination. This generic type of device includes the biopsy punch, gastrointestinal mechanical biopsy instrument, suction biopsy instrument, gastro-urology biopsy needle and needle set, and nonelectric biopsy forceps. This section does not apply to biopsy instruments that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for the biopsy forceps cover and the non-electric biopsy forceps. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
