Intended Use
SPECBOARD JR is intended to be used as an accessory to a mammographic x-ray system. The SPECBOARD JR is used to contain the mammographic specimen from the patient when transported to the x-ray device and then accompany the x-ray image to the pathology laboratory.
Device Description
The SPECBOARD is a medical device that allows for accurate localization of suspect lesions in breast tissue. The SPECBOARD JR is comprised of a foam core base coupled with a tape hinge along one edge to a thick cardboard cover. On the base foam core piece there is a centrally located piece of absorbent blotter paper. Along two joining edges of the blotter are two radio-opaque nickel stencils, one marked with alpha characters and the other with numerical characters. The SPECBOARD JR is used in the operating room where the surgeon will remove a suspect portion of the breast tissue and place it on the blotter portion of the SPECBOARD JR. The cover is then closed, sandwiching the breast specimen between the cover and the base. The cover is then secured with the Velcro latch and an x-ray is taken of the specimen inside the SPECBOARD JR. The resulting x-ray image will show the perpendicular stencils along the border of the blotter paper and the specimen on the blotter paper. Any lesions will show up within the specimen and the pathologist then has a reference of where to cut into the specimen to withdrawal a piece for analysis.

No
The device description details a physical board with stencils for specimen localization, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML components.

No
The device is used to contain and transport a tissue specimen for imaging and pathological analysis, not to treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is an accessory used to transport and stabilize tissue specimens for imaging and subsequent pathological analysis, not to diagnose a condition itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of physical components like a foam core base, cardboard cover, blotter paper, nickel stencils, and a Velcro latch, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • SPECBOARD JR's Function: The SPECBOARD JR is an accessory used to hold and transport a breast tissue specimen for imaging (mammographic x-ray). It provides a reference system (stencils) for localization on the x-ray image. It does not perform any analysis or testing on the specimen itself to provide diagnostic information.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to contain the specimen for transport and imaging, and to accompany the image to the pathology laboratory. It facilitates the imaging process and subsequent analysis by the pathologist, but it is not the diagnostic tool itself.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical holder with radio-opaque markers for imaging purposes. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any other components typically associated with IVD testing.

In summary, the SPECBOARD JR is a device that aids in the handling and imaging of a specimen, which is then used by a pathologist for diagnosis. It does not perform the diagnostic test itself, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

510(k) Summary

This is a 510(k) filing for a new product, the SPECBOARD JR. K123414 The SPECBOARD JR product is substantially equivalent to the SPECBOARD product (510(k) K891090, decision 04/07/1989), the difference being in size. The SPECBOARD JR is smaller than the SPECBOARD.

  • Establishment Registration Number: 1052243 3.
  • Common Name of Device: Specimen Transport and Identification 4.
  • Trade Name & Model Number: SPECBOARD JR model 222 5.
  • Classification Name and Class: System, X-Ray, Mammographic, IZH 6.
  • Regulation Number: 892.1710 7.
    1. Reason for the 510(k) – New Device. The SPECBOARD JR product is substantially equivalent to the SPECBOARD product (510(k) K891090, decision 04/07/1989), the difference being in size. The SPECBOARD JR is smaller than the SPECBOARD. Newer X-ray devise used in the operating room are more compact and require less energy than previous x-ray machines. The SPECBOARD JR uses the same design elements and packages them into a smaller package to allow for the use in these newer smaller portable x-ray machines.
    1. Identification of Substantially Equivalent Product: SPECBOARD (510(k) K891090, decision 04/07/1989
    1. The SPECBOARD is a medical device that allows for accurate localization of suspect lesions in breast tissue.
