The device description clearly outlines a physical biopsy needle assembly with various hardware components (needle cannula, stylet, sheath, handle, syringe). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the 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 fine needle biopsy (FNB) to obtain tissue samples from various anatomical sites. This is a procedure to collect material from the body, not to perform tests on samples outside the body.
- Device Description: The device is a biopsy needle designed for puncturing and collecting tissue. It's a tool used during a medical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze or test biological samples in vitro (outside the body). IVD devices are typically reagents, instruments, or systems intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. This device's purpose is to obtain the sample for potential subsequent in vitro testing, but the device itself doesn't perform the diagnostic test.
Therefore, the EchoTip Procore® HD Ultrasound Biopsy Needle is a medical device used for a biopsy procedure, not an IVD.

Device Description
The EchoTip Procore® HD Ultrasound Biopsy Needle is used in conjunction with an ultrasound endoscope and is available with needle gauge sizes of 19, 20, 22 and 25 ga. The device comprises of a needle assembly and a syringe. The needle assembly consists of the needle cannula, stylet, sheath and handle. The stainless steel needle cannula has a dimpling pattern on the distal end to allow visualization of the needle tip under endoscopic ultrasound. The needle cannula has a bevelled tip design and a notch. The purpose of the needle cannula is for puncturing/biopsy of the target site. The preloaded nitinol stylet is withdrawn from the needle for biopsy. Some variants have a stylet that coils when not in the needle. The sheath covers the needle when it's not in use. The device handle allows for needle and sheath length adjustment. The syringe can aid in tissue aspiration. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for single use. The device is for Rx used only.
