No
The device description focuses on the physical design of the needles/cannulas and their enhanced ultrasound visibility through physical reflectors. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition, whereas this device is used for diagnostic purposes (obtaining biopsies).
No
This device is a biopsy needle/cannula, which is used to obtain tissue samples. While the samples may be used for diagnostic purposes, the device itself is an instrument for obtaining the sample, not for performing the diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical needle/cannula made of stainless steel and polycarbonate, with physical reflectors for ultrasound visibility. It is a hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for obtaining biopsies from soft tissues, puncturing, and aspiration. These are procedures performed on the patient's body to collect samples or access tissue.
- Device Description: The device is a needle/cannula designed for physical insertion into the body.
- Lack of Mention of In Vitro Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples outside of the body (in vitro). IVD devices are used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue samples in a laboratory setting.
The device is a surgical/procedural instrument used for collecting samples from the body, not for analyzing those samples in vitro.

Device Description
Chiba SONO cannulas/ needles enhanced for ultrasound visibility are single use sterile and nonpyrogenic devices used to gain entry or puncture the tissue and aspirate soft tissue for biopsy purposes. The needles/ cannulas may be used during all biopsy and puncturing procedures according to the physician´s indication. Additionally fluids for example for fluoroscopy may be injected.
Cannulas/ needles enhanced for ultrasound visibility are standard cannulas/ needles equipped with CornerStone reflectors (cleared in K111374 - SonoPlex STIM) in order to significantly enhance ultrasound visibility.
The cannulas basically consist of stainless steel tubing and an epoxy glued polycarbonate hub.
In order to enhance ultrasound visibility the cannulas are equipped with a special reflector pattern named "CornerStone" imprinted to the cannulas surface. These reflectors are designed to optimally reflect ultrasound waves.

The needles/ cannulas have been subjected to standard testing applicable for all cannulas. Standard testing consists of bending stability and breaking resistance testing as well as of hubto-needle-bondage testing. Due to technological equivalence the subject device is tested the same way as each cannula is tested at PAJUNK® GmbH Medizintechnologie. There are no special testing requirements defined, neither in incoming and in-process inspection routines nor in final testing.

§ 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.

Sterilization
The contract sterilizer and the sterilizing process are identical to the process and sterilizer used for all PAJUNK® - manufactured and purchased devices which are already cleared for market or exempt. CornerStone-technique does neither influence sterilization process nor shelf life properties.
Cleaning and Sterilization method, which ensures an SAL of 10th as compliance with limits for chemical burden, bioburden, pyroburden (i.e. LAL) and EtO-residuals as well as shelf life have been validated and are safe and effective.
Efficacy of sterile product's lifecycle has been validated for a period of 10 years now. Shelf life is set to 5 years.

Biocompatibility:
All cannulas comply with ISO 10993-1, 20d and 3rd edition.
The stainless steel tubing of the Sono-needles/cannulas is identical to stainless steel tubing of the needles/cannulas as they were cleared for market in K063697 in formulation, processing, and sterilization, and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, color additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents, etc.).
The polycarbonate hub of the Sono-needles/cannulas is identical to the polycarbonate hub of the needles/cannulas as they were cleared for market in K063697 in formulation, processing, and sterilization, and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, color additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents, etc.).
The epoxy resin glue of the Sono-needles/cannulas is identical to the epoxy resin glue of the needles/cannulas as they were cleared for market in K063697 in formulation, processing, and sterilization, and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, color additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents, etc.).
The optional polymeric NanoLine coating of the Sono-needles/cannulas is identical to the polymeric NanoLine coating of the NanoLine-needles/cannulas as they were cleared for market in K053283 in formulation, processing, and sterilization, and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, color additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents, etc.).
Technology Characteristics:
The components are listed in a table in section 11 of this submission. Shelf life and impact of sterilization and storage on the devices has been proven and found to be safe and effective.
Performance Testing
The needles/ cannulas have been subjected to standard testing applicable for all cannulas. Standard testing consists of bending stability and breaking resistance testing as well as of hubto-needle-bondage testing. Due to technological equivalence the subject device is tested the same way as each cannula is tested at PAJUNK® GmbH Medizintechnologie. There are no special testing requirements defined, neither in incoming and in-process inspection routines nor in final testing.
Conclusion:
The comparison between the predicate devices and the subject device in section 12 of this submission as well as the validated sterilization process and the results of the bench testing and bench marking demonstrates that the proposed devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and identical in technical description to devices already cleared for market and therefore demonstrated to be safe and effective.
Based on the clinical evaluation, the biocompatibility testing and the bench testing conducted, safety and effectiveness as well as efficacy of the Cornerstone -technique is demonstrated for each type of cannula.
