Intended Use
The EnCor Breast Biopsy System is indicated to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities. It is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal of the imaged abnormality. It is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial removal of a palpable abnormality. The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be readily determined from palpation or imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the palpated or 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. In instances when a patient presents with a palpable abnormality that has been classified as benign through clinical and/or radiological criteria (e.g. fibroadenoma, fibrocystic lesion), the EnCor Breast Biopsy System may also be used to partially remove such palpable lesions. Whenever breast tissue is removed, histological evaluation of the tissue is the standard of care. 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.
Device Description
The EnCor Breast Biopsy System with its 7 and 10-Gauge biopsy probes has the following similarities with the predicate devices: same intended use; same design; same patient contacting materials; same operating principle; and same technological characteristics.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical breast biopsy system and explicitly states similarities to predicate devices in terms of design, operating principle, and technological characteristics, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a biopsy system used for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities and tissue removal for histologic examination, not for treating a condition.

No

The device is used to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic sampling, not to perform the diagnosis itself. The diagnosis is made by histologic examination of the tissue samples.

No

The device description explicitly refers to "7 and 10-Gauge biopsy probes," which are physical hardware components used for tissue sampling. This indicates the device is a system that includes hardware, not solely software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The EnCor Breast Biopsy System is a device used to obtain tissue samples from the breast within the body. It is a surgical/interventional device, not a device that analyzes samples in a lab setting.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is used to "provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling." The diagnostic process itself happens after the tissue is obtained, typically through histological examination in a laboratory (which would involve IVD procedures and devices).

The device's role is to facilitate the collection of the sample, which is then used in downstream diagnostic procedures. It is not performing the diagnostic test itself.

§ 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.

The EnCor Breast Biopsy System with its 7 and 10-Gauge biopsy probes has the following similarities with the predicate devices: same intended use; same design; same patient contacting materials; same operating principle; and same technological characteristics.

Therefore, the EnCor Breast Biopsy System with its 7 and 10-Gauge probes has the same capability of partial removal of palpable masses as does using either of the predicate devices.

Indications for Use:

The EnCor Breast Biopsy System is indicated to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities.

It is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal t of the imaged abnormality.

  • It is intended to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial removal of a . palpable abnormality.
    The extent of a histologic abnormality cannot always be readily determined from palpation or imaged appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the palpated or 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.

In instances when a patient presents with a palpable abnormality that has been classified as benign through clinical and/or radiological criteria (e.g. fibroadenoma, fibrocystic lesion), the EnCor Breast Biopsy System may also be used to partially remove such palpable lesions. Whenever breast tissue is removed, histological evaluation of the tissue is the standard of care.
