No
The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of a biopsy device and its comparison to predicate devices, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is described as a biopsy system used for obtaining tissue samples for diagnosis, not for treating a disease or condition.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "When used for breast biopsy, the product is for diagnosis only." This indicates its primary function for obtaining tissue samples for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system includes an automatic spring powered Biopsy Device and a Coaxial Introducer, which are physical hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes. The key is that the diagnostic process happens outside the body, using the collected specimen.
- Device Function: The Full Core Biopsy System is a tool used to obtain a tissue sample from the body. It is a surgical/interventional device used in vivo (within the body) to collect the specimen.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is for "soft tissue and tumor biopsy," which is the process of obtaining a tissue sample. While this sample will then be used for diagnosis (likely through histological examination in a lab), the device itself is not performing the diagnostic test on the specimen.
The device is a tool for specimen collection, which is a necessary step before an in vitro diagnostic test can be performed on the collected tissue.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Full Core Biopsy System is intended to be used for soft tissue and tumor biopsy of such organs as the liver, spleen, kidney, prostate, lung, breast, and lymph nodes. When used for breast biopsy, the product is for diagnosis only. 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 of using standard surgical procedures.

Summary of Performance Studies
Bench Testing: The Full Core Biopsy System was tested in a side-by-side comparison against the SABD™ Predicate and the Biopince® Predicate. Penetration testing confirms that the penetration force of the System falls between the penetration forces of the SABD™ Predicate and the Biopince® Predicate. Testing of stroke lengths confirms that the stroke length of the Device is the stroke length of the SABD™ Predicate and has a stroke length that is equivalent to one of the settings of the BioPince® Predicate. The Full Core Biopsy System was tested in a side-by-side comparison against the SABD™ Predicate which was used in conjunction with a Coaxial Introducer. Testing against the Biopince® Predicate with Coaxial Introducer was also conducted. Test results confirmed that the Full Core Biopsy System would retrieve a tissue sample that was substantially equivalent to the tissue sample retrieved by the predicate devices.
Mechanical Durability Testing: The Device utilizes the same components, springs, manufacturing processes, and tests as used in the assembly of the SABD™ Predicate. Mechanical Durability testing of the Device will be a part of the normal inspection process, which is the same as the inspection process for the 510k Owner's SABD™ Predicate.
Sterilization: The sterilization process will be identical for the System as the SABD™ Predicate. The SABD™ Predicate and the Introducer have been validated for gamma sterilization at a minimum level of 25kGy and a maximum of 50kGy. The process is validated and monitored to a 10 SAL per ISO11137-2:2006, method VDmax25.
Aging Tests: The SABD™ Predicate has been evaluated for shelf-life stability using accelerated aging as well as real-time shelf exposure under normal storage conditions. All materials, manufacturing methods, and packaging are the same for the subject Device and the SABD™ Predicate; therefore no further testing of the System is necessary.

The System will be provided in 16, 18, and 20 gage and the working lengths range from 10cm to 25cm. The Device includes a Franseen-style cutting geometry on the end of the cannula and the Introducer includes a standard trocar tip.
Indications for Use:
The System is intended to be used for soft tissue and tumor biopsy of such organs as the liver, spleen, kidney, prostate, lung, breast, and lymph nodes. When used for breast biopsy, the product is for diagnosis only. 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 of using standard surgical procedures.
Scientific Concepts that Form the Basis for the Device:
The Device has an outer Cutting Cannula having a sharpened tip and an inner stylet. The Cutting Cannula and the inner stylet are both operated manually by the user by a Plunger. In operation, the Introducer is positioned within tissue in a standard fashion. As with the SABD" Predicate device, the Device is first placed in a Ready condition (prior to introduction to the patient) by pulling back on a Plunger, and then the Device is advanced within the Introducer. The Plunger is first advanced to the first stop. To fire (advance the outer cutting cannula to obtain a biopsy tissue sample), the Plunger is fully depressed. When the Device is fired, the outer Cutting Cannula extends forward and cuts tissue. A tissue specimen is retained within the Cutting Cannula. As with both Predicate devices, the Device is then removed from the Introducer to retrieve the tissue specimen from the Device. From the user perspective, the tissue specimen is delivered from the Device the same as the SABD™ Predicate, by pulling back on the Plunger and then advancing the Plunger forward to the first stop. In a device such as the SABD" Predicate, this action results in exposure of the sampling notch so that the specimen can be manually removed. With the Device, this action results in the delivery of the tissue specimen from the distal end of the outer Cutting Cannula of the Device, as occurs with the BioPince® Predicate. If it is desired to obtain another tissue specimen, the Device is again placed in the Ready condition by pulling back on the Plunger. From the user perspective, this is identical to how the SABD" Predicate is used.

The SABD™ Predicate
్రా
ェ・ン
The Full Core Biopsy System has the same intended use as the SABD™ Predicate. All materials, manufacturing methods, chemical composition of components, and energy source are the same as the predicate SABD" Predicate. The design is the same as the SABD" Predicate, with the exception of the cutting feature.
The System uses an end-cut technology on the Device rather than the side-cut technology found in the SABD" Predicate. The difference in the cutting feature poses no concerns regarding safety and effectiveness, as it is equivalent to the cutting feature of the Biopince® Predicate.
The SABD" Predicate has a fifty-nine month shelf life. The subject device will have a thirty-six month shelf life. The shorter shelf-life for the subject device is due to marketing purposes. The difference in shelf-life poses no concerns regarding safety and effectiveness.
The Biopince® Predicate
The Full Core Biopsy System has equivalent intended use as the Biopince® Predicate". The end-cut technology (mechanism of cutting tissue) of the Device and delivery of tissue sample (as described above) is equivalent to that of the Biopince® Predicate. The Device has a fixed stroke, which is a simpler construction from the Biopince® Predicate, which has a variable stroke.
Performance Testing:
Bench Testing:
The Full Core Biopsy System was tested in a side-by-side comparison against the SABD™ Predicate and the Biopince® Predicate.
Penetration testing confirms that the penetration force of the System falls between the penetration forces of the SABD™ Predicate and the Biopince® Predicate.
Testing of stroke lengths confirms that the stroke length of the Device is the stroke length of the SABD" Predicate and has a stroke length that is equivalent to one of the settings of the BioPince® Predicate.
The Full Core Biopsy System was tested in a side-by-side comparison against the SABD™ Predicate which was used in conjunction with a Coaxial Introducer. Testing against the Biopince® Predicate with Coaxial Introducer was also conducted. Test results confirmed that the Full Core Biopsy System would retrieve a tissue sample that was substantially equivalent to the tissue sample retrieved by the predicate devices.
Mechanical Durability Testing:
The Device utilizes the same components, springs, manufacturing processes, and tests as used in the assembly of the SABD™ Predicate. Mechanical Durability testing of the Device will be a part

of the normal inspection process, which is the same as the inspection process for the 510k Owner's SABD™ Predicate.
Sterilization:
The sterilization process will be identical for the System as the SABD™ Predicate. The SABD™ Predicate and the Introducer have been validated for gamma sterilization at a minimum level of 25kGy and a maximum of 50kGy. The process is validated and monitored to a 10° SAL per ISO11137-2:2006, method VDmax25
Aging Tests:
The SABD" Predicate has been evaluated for shelf-life stability using accelerated aging as well as real-time shelf exposure under normal storage conditions. All materials, manufacturing methods, and packaging are the same for the subject Device and the SABD™ Predicate; therefore no further testing of the System is necessary.
Conclusion:
The Full Core Biopsy System is safe and effective and performs substantially equivalent to the Predicates.
