No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the device description is not available to infer such capabilities.

No
The device is used for fine needle aspiration, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

No
The device is indicated for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration, which is a procedure for obtaining tissue samples, not for diagnosing a condition based on analysis of images or other data.

No

The intended use describes a device for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration, which inherently involves physical components (needle, aspiration mechanism) and is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Thyrosampler® Kurtaran Frass is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use of the Thyrosampler® is for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules. This is a procedure to collect a sample, not to examine it.
  • The description focuses on the collection process. The intended use describes the target (thyroid nodules), the size and depth limitations, and the guidance method (ultrasound). It does not mention any analysis or testing of the collected sample.

Therefore, the Thyrosampler® Kurtaran Frass is a device used for a medical procedure (sample collection), not for in vitro diagnostic testing of a sample.

Dear Mr. Walls:

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.

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 (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
