Intended Use
The BL Navigated Biopsy Needle is indicated for stereotactic biopsy of cranial tissue using BrainLab AG's VectorVision navigation system. The Navigated Biopsy Needle is a pre-sterilized, single-use, side-cutting needle where the cutting action is achieved by rotation of an inner cannula within an outer cannula.
Device Description
BL Navigated Biopsy Needle contains a calibrated biopsy cannula that is used with a compatible image guided surgery navigation system in stereotactic biopsy of cranial tissue. The device is compatible with specified BrainLab navigation systems (see intended use section below). Like the predicate device, the BL Navigated Biopsy Needle is a pre-sterilized, single-use, stainless steel device and uses a side-cutting cannula where the cutting action is achieved by rotation of an inner cannula within an outer cannula. BL Navigated Biopsy Needle's components include a navigable biopsy cannula, a biopsy cannula stop with screw, a stop adjustment tool and an aspiration tube.

The device is a biopsy needle used to collect tissue samples for diagnostic purposes, not to treat a disease or condition.

No.

This device, the BL Navigated Biopsy Needle, is used for stereotactic biopsy, which involves collecting tissue samples. While these samples may subsequently be used for diagnosis, the device itself is an instrument for obtaining the sample, not for performing the diagnostic analysis or reaching a diagnosis directly.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "pre-sterilized, single-use, stainless steel device" with physical components like a cannula, stop, and aspiration tube, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "stereotactic biopsy of cranial tissue using BrainLab AG's VectorVision navigation system." This describes a surgical procedure to obtain a tissue sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "pre-sterilized, single-use, side-cutting needle" used for "stereotactic biopsy of cranial tissue." It's a tool for physically extracting tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to obtain the tissue sample, not to analyze it.

The device is a surgical instrument used in vivo (within the body) to collect a sample for potential subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing, but the device itself is not performing the diagnostic test.

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

Bench testing was conducted to demonstrate that the BL Navigated Biopsy Needle performs as intended and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Tissue extraction testing was conducted to verify the ability of the device to sample tissue. Navigation testing was conducted to verify the compatibility and accuracy of the device with the specified navigation systems. Real-time shelf life testing was conducted to verify that there was no change in visual attributes, dimensional characteristics, or tensile strength after 5 years real time storage. These studies verify that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device identified above.

The biocompatibility evaluation for the BL Navigated Biopsy Needle was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 5: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity and ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011 Bacterial endotoxins - Test methods, routine monitoring, and alternatives to batch testing. The battery of testing included the following tests:
