Intended Use
The BNX FNA System is used to sample targeted sub-mucosal and extramural gastrointestinal lesions through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e., automatic) safety shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle stick injury.
Device Description
The BNX Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) System is a sterile, single patient use endoscopic ultrasound aspiration needle. The device consists of the BNX Aspiration Delivery System and BNX Aspiration Needle which are assembled before insertion through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The needle is used to acquire aspiration samples from lesions targeted using an ultrasound endoscope. An aspiration sample is obtained by penetrating the lesions with the needle while applying suction. The device is offered with needle sizes of 19, 22 and 25 gauge. The BNX FNA System has an integrated needle protection shield that automatically engages over the distal end of the needle during removal to cover the needle sharp. In this manner, the needle tip is covered to help protect against inadvertent needle sticks. The referenced BNX FNA device incorporates a long stiff metallic needle with stylet housed in a sheath with handle assembly. The handle is screwed onto the luer-lock connection of the endoscope. The needle is manipulated by a handle piston which is locked and unlocked by means of a screw to avoid advancement of the needle during introduction and withdrawal of the biopsy assembly. The tips of the Aspiration Needles are etched for enhanced ultrasonic needle visualization. Tissue samples are acquired into the lumen of the needle via applied suction using a standard hypodermic syringe. The BNX FNA System is modular in design, i.e., the sheath and handle assembly are incorporated in a Delivery System as a separate component from the Aspiration Needle/stylet assembly. The modular design facilitates exchange of any size aspiration needle as the needle can be removed from the scope without requiring that the handle be disconnected. Additionally, the BNX FNA System has an integrated needle protection shield as a sharps injury protection feature that automatically engages over the distal end of the needle during removal to cover the needle sharp. In this manner, the needle tip is covered to help protect against inadvertent needle sticks. If a second sample acquisition cycle is required, the needle protector shield is captured within the handle housing to be actuated during the next needle removal cycle.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical features, needle sizes, and a passive safety shield. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data.

No
The device is used to acquire aspiration samples for diagnosis, not to treat a condition.

No

This device is used to acquire aspiration samples from lesions, which are then analyzed to make a diagnosis. The device itself is used for acquiring samples rather than performing the diagnostic analysis.

No

The device description clearly details a physical medical device consisting of a needle, sheath, handle assembly, and a safety shielding feature. It is a hardware device used for aspiration.

Based on the provided information, the BNX FNA System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to sample targeted lesions. It is a tool for collecting a sample.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of the device for obtaining a sample (needle, sheath, handle, suction, safety features).
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device itself does not perform any analysis or testing on the collected sample to provide diagnostic information. The sample is collected for subsequent analysis, which would be performed using separate IVD devices or laboratory procedures.
  • No Mention of Reagents or Assays: IVD devices typically involve reagents, assays, or other components used to analyze a biological sample. This device does not mention any such components.

The BNX FNA System is a medical device used for sample collection, which is a step that precedes in vitro diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Bench and simulated use testing were performed demonstrating that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for the proposed intended use. As per CDRH's Guidance for Industry and FDA: Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features, simulated use studies were conducted on the subject device evaluating greater than 500 cycles of product use with zero failures for the sharps injury prevention feature. Results of this evaluation met FDA's minimum standard for a "97.5% confidence that the true failure rate was no higher than 0.7% and 99.5% confidence that it is no higher than 1.1% " as per the FDA Guidance and documented that the BNX FNA System's passive sharps safety prevention mechanism did not impede or adversely affect the intended clinical performance of the device and provided protection against unintended sharps injury through disposal.
