Intended Use
Needle guide(s) provides guidance for needles or other interventional devices during an ultrasound-guided procedure. It positions the needle relative to the transducer, so that the needle image is in a specified position in the ultrasound image during procedures. that require precise needle placement or biopsy.
Device Description
The BK Medical Needle Guides described are designed to be used with BK Medical' Ultrasound system to provide alignment with an ultrasound intra-operative transducer, in order to guide a needle (biopsy device, or other interventional device) in relation to the ultrasound image. The components for the Needle Guides are all single use disposable, and delivered sterile. Note! The needle guides are delivered without needles.

No
The description focuses on mechanical guidance and alignment, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data processing/analysis that would typically indicate AI/ML involvement.

No

The device is a needle guide that assists in precise needle placement during ultrasound-guided procedures. It does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition itself.

No
Explanation: This device is a needle guide used during ultrasound-guided procedures to assist in precise needle placement. Its function is to guide a needle, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the components for the Needle Guides are "all single use disposable" and "delivered sterile," indicating physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The described device is a needle guide used during ultrasound-guided procedures. Its purpose is to physically guide a needle or other interventional device into the body, not to analyze samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it provides guidance for needles during a procedure, not for analyzing samples after they are collected.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical or procedural accessory rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Hansen:

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.
