Intended Use
The EnCapsule™ Breast Biopsy Device is intended for diagnostic sampling of breast tissue during breast biopsy procedures. It is to be used for diagnostic purposes only and is not intended for therapeutic uses. The EnCapsule Breast Biopsy Device is indicated to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities. It is designed to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal of the imaged abnormality. The extent of histologic abnormality cannot be reliably determined from its mammographic appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality (e.g., malignancy). When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.

No

The device description is not found, but the intended use and performance studies clearly describe a physical "Breast Biopsy Device" used for tissue sampling, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the EnCapsule™ Breast Biopsy Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The EnCapsule™ device is used to obtain the specimen (breast tissue) from the body.
  • IVDs perform tests on the specimen. The EnCapsule™ device's function is to collect the tissue, not to analyze it or perform diagnostic tests on it. The tissue collected by this device is then sent for histologic examination, which is where the diagnostic testing happens, likely using IVD devices or procedures.
  • The intended use describes the sampling of tissue for diagnostic purposes, not the diagnostic testing itself.

The device is a tool for collecting a sample that will then be used in an in vitro diagnostic process (histologic examination).
