The device is intended for use in obtaining biopsies from soft tissues such as liver, kidney, prostate, spleen, lymph nodes and various soft tissue tumors.
The EliteCore™ Full Core Biopsy Device is a sterile, disposable device which features a stainless steel cutting cannula with spoon, rotating coring cannula and stylet. The device is comprised of a plastic housing that contains the mechanically actuated components. The key performance attribute of the EliteCore™ Full Core Biopsy Device is the capability of obtaining a full core specimen. A variable throw feature allows the user to choose a throw setting ranging from 13 to 25 mm.
The EliteCore™ Full Core Biopsy Device is a sterile, disposable device for obtaining biopsies from soft tissues. The performance of this device was assessed by comparing it to a predicate device, the Revolution® Full Core Biopsy Device (K090611). The tests conducted aimed to confirm that the quality of samples obtained with the EliteCore™ device is equivalent to that of the predicate device.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
| Test | Acceptance Criteria (How Equivalent) | Reported Device Performance |

| Tissue Test (Various Throw Distances) | Additional testing that was not performed on predicate. | Able to take tissue samples at various throw distances. (No direct comparison to predicate stated for this specific aspect, but overall tissue test performance confirmed equivalence). The document states identical testing performed on predicate device with equivalent results. |
| Tissue Test (1st vs. Last Sample Weight) | Identical testing performed on predicate device with equivalent results. | Measured 1st sample as compared to last sample for sample weight and verified no loss of effectiveness. Results were equivalent to predicate device. |

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the specific number of devices or biopsy attempts used for each test. Instead, it broadly states that "Identical testing performed on predicate device w/ equivalent results" for most tests. The tissue tests mention "chicken and liver" and "various throw distances," indicating a lab-based, prospective evaluation with animal tissue. No country of origin for the data is specified, but given the submission to the FDA, it is presumed to be conducted by the manufacturer, Inrad, Inc., located in Kentwood, MI, USA.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This information is not provided in the document. The performance testing appears to be based on objective physical measurements and visual inspections rather than expert interpretation of biopsy samples.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. The tests are focused on device performance metrics (e.g., dimensions, forces, ability to take tissue samples) rather than diagnostic accuracy that would require an adjudication process.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
Not applicable. This device is a biopsy instrument, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. The performance evaluation is based on engineering and basic tissue procurement capabilities.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth for most tests was based on objective physical measurements (e.g., pressure, force, dimensions, weight) and visual inspections for damage or proper function. For tissue tests, the ground truth was the ability to successfully obtain a tissue sample and verify its properties (e.g., weight, no loss of effectiveness). The comparison was made against the performance of a legally marketed predicate device.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set. The performance testing is for a physical medical instrument.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
Not applicable. (See #8)
