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. The 19Ga. and 22Ga. BNX Aspiration Needles are also intended to implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures.
Device Description
The BNX Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) System is a sterile, single patient use endoscopic ultrasound aspiration needle. The device consists of the BeaconTM Endoscopic Ultrasound Delivery System and BNXTM Fine Needle Aspiration Needle which are assembled before insertion through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The device is offered with needle sizes of 19, 22 and 25 ga (however only the 19 and 22 gauge needles will be indicated for fiducial delivery). 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. 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. For delivery of fiducial markers the needle is loaded with the fiducial marker and fixated in place using bone wax. The fiducial marker is deployed into the target tissue by advancing the stylet.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical features, needle design, and safety mechanisms. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing for analysis, or any software-driven decision-making based on data.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a system for sampling lesions (diagnostic) and implanting fiducial markers for future therapeutic procedures (pre-therapeutic/diagnostic aid), not for delivering therapy itself.

Yes

The device is used to sample targeted gastrointestinal lesions, which is a diagnostic procedure, and also to implant fiducial markers for future therapeutic procedures, which aids in future diagnostic imaging and treatment planning.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as needles, sheaths, handles, and a safety shield, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The primary intended use is to sample targeted lesions and implant fiducial markers. This is a procedure performed in vivo (within the body) to obtain tissue or place markers.
  • Device Description: The device is a needle system designed for aspiration and delivery within the body. It is used to physically interact with tissue.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: The description of performance studies mentions bench and simulated use testing, but there is no mention of testing involving the analysis of samples outside the body, which is characteristic of IVD devices.
  • No Mention of Sample Analysis: The device is used to obtain a sample, but there is no indication that the device itself is involved in the analysis of that sample. The analysis of the aspirated tissue would likely be performed using separate laboratory methods, which might involve IVD devices, but the BNX FNA System is not that device.

In summary, the BNX FNA System is a surgical/interventional device used for tissue acquisition and marker placement in vivo, not a device used for the examination of specimens derived from the human body in vitro.

shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle stick injury. The 19Ga. and 22Ga. BNX Fine Needle Aspiration Needles are also intended to implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures.

Technological The proposed BNX FNA System's indications for use and technological characteristics are identical when compared with the predicate BNX FNA System cleared in K133008. Characteristics: With respect to fiducial delivery, the BNX FNA System indication for use statement proposed is identical to the predicate Wilson-Cook Medical EchoTip Ultra Fiducial Needle cleared under K111895. There have been no changes made to the design of the BNX FNA System to allow for expanded indication.

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. 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. For delivery of fiducial markers the needle is loaded with the fiducial marker and fixated in place using bone wax. The fiducial marker is deployed into the target tissue by advancing the stylet.

Performance This premarket notification is supported with bench and simulated use testing. Testing Data: performed demonstrates that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for the proposed intended use.

Conclusion: Covidien has demonstrated that the proposed BNX FNA System is substantially equivalent to the predicate BNX FNA System and Wilson-Cook Medical EchoTip Ultra Fiducial Needle when used to implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures.
