Intended Use
Pajunks soft tissue biopsy, puncture and aspiration cannulas and needles listed above are intended for obtaining biopsies from soft tissues, for use in puncturing and for aspiration. They are not appropriate for bone biopsies. Pajunks soft tissue puncture and aspiration Kit acc. Steinhoff is intended for use in puncturing and aspiring for soft tissue biopsy. Pajunks breast localization cannulas/ needles can be used in Mammographic procedures to obtain breast lesion tissue. Pajunks Breast localization cannulas/ needles are intended for diagnostic sampling of breast tissue during breast biopsy procedures. They are to be used for diagnostic purposes only and are not intended for therapeutic uses. The Breast localization cannulas/ needles are 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. This device is not indicated for use under MR based imaging technologies, such as MRI.
Device Description
The cannulas and needles consist of medical grade steel, plastic luer hub and stylet (stabilizing mandrin inside cannula). For safety reasons, the graduated puncture cannula also has an additional depthstop installed at the shaft of the cannula. The cannula Type Chiba Special has been developed by PAJUNK® with an approx. 1 cm matted finish of the cannula tip and three additional ring-markings. For safety reasons, the graduated puncture cannula/ needle has an additional depth-stop installed at the shaft. As a standard, the cannulas/ needles with beveled tip are normally equipped with a handle plate and a depth stop. This universally usable puncture cannula/ needle made of high-grade stainless steel is suitable for all percutaneous punctures with guidance wires. It is available in a 2-parted and in a 3-parted version, with and without graduation. The outer cannula has a rounded, blunt tip, and it is designed to match the inside stylet-cannula. This cannula with a Special Sprotte tip is intended for obtaining biopsies from soft tissues, for use in puncturing and for aspiration. It is an EO-sterilized, latex-free device for single use. For better depth control, the interventional micro-cannula features graduated collars at intervals of 1 cm. The puncture kit according Dr. Steinhoff contains a Chiba-type puncture cannula/ needle with a cannula rider and a flexible tube. The millimeter-precise introduction of the puncture needle by means of the cannula rider is facilitated with the aid of the centimeter-graduation and the corresponding markings at intervals of 5 mm. Thereby, the needle can be quided safely, without lacking the necessary flexibility. Pajunks breast localization cannulas can be used in Mammographic procedures to obtain breast lesion tissue.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and materials of biopsy and localization needles/cannulas. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section explicitly states, "Pajunks Breast localization cannulas/ needles are intended for diagnostic sampling of breast tissue during breast biopsy procedures. They are to be used for diagnostic purposes only and are not intended for therapeutic uses."

Yes

The text explicitly states, "Pajunks Breast localization cannulas/ needles are intended for diagnostic sampling of breast tissue during breast biopsy procedures. They are to be used for diagnostic purposes only..." and "The Breast localization cannulas/ needles are indicated to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities." This clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of medical grade steel and plastic, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the devices are for obtaining biopsies, puncturing, and aspiration from soft tissues. This is a procedure performed on the patient's body to collect a sample.
  • Device Description: The description details physical instruments (cannulas, needles, stylets, hubs, depth stops, etc.) used for the physical act of obtaining tissue samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to collect the specimen, not to analyze it.

The device is a tool used in a diagnostic procedure (biopsy), but it is not the diagnostic test itself. The collected tissue sample would then likely be sent to a laboratory for in vitro analysis (e.g., histology), which would be performed using IVD devices and procedures.

Predicate Devices:

Predicate Device for Pajunks soft tissue biopsy and aspiration cannulas and needles are the cannulas and needles cleared for market by Manan in K980211. These devices have identical indications for use and the same technical specification in materials and grinding as Pajunks cannulas.

Pajunks Chiba cannulas/ needles are already cleared for a different intended use (anesthesia conduction, spinal and epidural) in K040965.

The detailed discussion of substantial eqivalence can be found in Section 12 of this submission.

Sterilization

Pajunks soft tissue biopsy and aspiration cannulas and needles are supplied packed in a blister as single-use, sterile, pyrogenfree and latex free disposable cannulas.

The contract sterilizer and the sterilizing process at Sterigenics is the same as that one used for all further Pajunk products already cleared for market in the USA. All cannulas are very similar in dimensions and materials.

Sterilization of Pajunks soft tissue biopsy and aspiration cannulas and needles at Sterigenics is being done according to a documented process. This Ethylene Oxide sterilization process is recurrently evaluated for suitability and effectiveness and the results are acceptable.

Sterilization of the Pajunks soft tissue biopsy and aspiration cannulas and needles is accomplished using Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of
