The summary describes a mechanical biopsy needle and does not mention any AI or ML components or functions.

No
The device is used for retrieving tissue samples for diagnostic analysis (histological analysis), not for treating or rehabilitating a condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used to retrieve tissue samples for histological analysis, which is a diagnostic procedure to identify and characterize diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile, single-use biopsy needle," which is a physical hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Easy Core Detachable Biopsy System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This typically involves tests performed outside the body (in vitro) on samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The Easy Core Detachable Biopsy System is a device used to obtain the tissue sample. Its function is to retrieve the tissue, which is then sent for histological analysis. The analysis itself, which is performed on the tissue sample, would be considered an in vitro diagnostic procedure, but the biopsy needle itself is the tool for collection, not the diagnostic test.

The description clearly states its purpose is to "retrieve tissue sampling... for histological analysis." This indicates it's a device for sample collection, not for performing the diagnostic analysis on the sample.

§ 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.

Trade/Device Name: Easy Core™ Detachable Biopsy System Regulation Number: 21 CFR §876.1075 Regulation Name: Gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument Regulatory Class: II Product Code: KNW and FCG Dated: May 24, 2005 Received: May 25, 2005

Dear Ms. Cameron:

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 (Premarket Approval), 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.

2

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
