Intended Use
The Radionics Nashold Biopsy Needle is intended for single patient use in stereotactic biopsy of brain tumors.
Device Description
The NBN-D is a dual cannula device made from stainless steel hypodermic needles. The device requires suction provided by a syringe to draw the tissue into the needle. The inner cannula is then rotated to cut the tissue. The device is designed to be used with the Radionics CRW system.

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of the biopsy needle and its use with a stereotactic system, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
This device is a biopsy needle used for diagnosis (collecting tissue samples) rather than for treating a condition.

No
The device is a biopsy needle used to collect tissue samples. While these samples may subsequently be used for diagnostic purposes, the needle itself performs the act of cutting and collecting tissue, not diagnosing.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical device made from stainless steel needles and requires a syringe for suction and rotation for cutting tissue. It is a hardware device.

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 outside of the body (in vitro) to analyze these samples.
  • Device Function: The Radionics Nashold Biopsy Needle is a surgical instrument used to obtain a tissue sample from the brain within the body (in vivo). It is a tool for collecting the sample, not for analyzing it.

The description clearly states its purpose is for "stereotactic biopsy of brain tumors," which is a procedure to remove a small piece of tissue for later analysis (which would likely involve IVD tests, but the needle itself is not the IVD).

Dear Mr. O'Connell:

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 such 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.
