No
The summary describes a biopsy system and introducer needle for soft tissue biopsies. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No
The device is a biopsy system used for histological biopsy, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one. It is used to collect tissue samples, not to treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a biopsy system used for histological biopsy, which is a procedure to obtain tissue samples for analysis, not a device that itself diagnoses. The diagnosis is made by a pathologist examining the tissue.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe a "biopsy system" and "introducer needle," which are hardware components used for physical tissue sampling. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the devices are for "histological biopsy on soft tissue." This involves obtaining a tissue sample from a living organism for examination, which is an in vivo procedure.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are performed outside the body.

The devices described are tools used to obtain the sample, not to perform a diagnostic test on the sample itself. The diagnostic testing would happen after the biopsy is taken, likely in a laboratory setting using IVD methods.

Dear Mrs. Coronati:

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.
