No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical aspects and physical performance of a biopsy needle system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No.
The device is intended for soft tissue and tumor biopsy, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The device is described as being used for soft tissue and tumor biopsy and, "When used for breast biopsy, the product is for diagnosis only." Biopsy is a procedure used to obtain tissue for diagnostic evaluation.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components made of polycarbonate, polyethylene, and stainless steel, and describes sterilization and single-use design, indicating it is a hardware medical device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Safety Biopsy Needle System is a tool used to obtain a tissue sample from within the body. It is a surgical instrument used for the collection of the specimen, not for the analysis of the specimen.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is for "soft tissue and tumor biopsy," which is the process of removing tissue for examination. While the tissue obtained will be used for diagnosis (likely through histological examination, which is an IVD process), the needle itself is not performing the diagnostic test.
The device is a tool for specimen collection, which is a necessary step before an IVD test can be performed on the collected tissue.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Safety Biopsy Needle System (Safety Biopsy Needle and Safety Coaxial Needle with Finger Guard) 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 histological 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 histological abnormality; e.g., malignancy. When sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal of using standard surgical procedures.

Device Description
The Safety Biopsy Needle System consists of two main components: The Safety Biopsy Needle and the Safety Coaxial Needle with Finger Guard.
The Safety Biopsy Needle is composed of two primary assemblies: the biopsy needle and the safety mechanism. The material used to manufacture both the biopsy needle and the safety mechanism is polycarbonate. The needle sheath is made of polyethylene. The available gauges for the safety biopsy needle ranges in size from 14 to 20, with lengths ranging up to 20 centimeters.
The Safety Coaxial Needle with Finger Guard is composed of two primary assemblies, the coaxial needle cannula and the stylet. The material used to manufacture the assembly and introducer cannula, and for trocar stylet, is stainless steel. The needle sheath is made of polyethylene. The available gauges for the safety coaxial needle with finger guard ranges in size from 15 to 19, with lengths ranging up to 17 centimeters.
The Safety Biopsy Needle System is sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EtO) and is designed for single use only.

Intended Use
The Safety Biopsy Needle System (Safety Biopsy Needle and Safety Coaxial Needle with Finger Guard) 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 histological 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 histological abnormality; e.g., malignancy. When sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal of using standard surgical procedures.
Substantial Equivalence
By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but can be demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device. The Safety Biopsy Needle System design and technology is substantially equivalent to the basic catheter design and function of the predicate devices (K11765 and K933364). The differences between the Safety Biopsy Needle System and the predicate devices do not raise questions regarding safety and effectiveness of the system. The proposed system, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate system.

Dear Mark Job.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
