Intended Use
Spectra Soft Tissue Biopsy Needles are indicated for obtaining biopsy samples from soft tissue in percutaneous or open surgical procedures from various tissues through a combination of cutting and/or aspirating in such a manner that the biopsy sample is retained in the orifice of the needle.
Device Description
The Spectra Soft Tissue and Aspiration Biopsy Needles consist of a stainless steel needle and a translucent standard female Luer locking hub. A stylet rod assembly mates with the needle hub assembly. A depth stop is integral with each needle type to facilitate depth placement. The needle assembly is covered by a translucent removable needle guard. The needles are available in a range of wall thicknesses, gauges and lengths to match the end-user need. Needles are available with an echogenic treatment to help ensure strong reflection during ultrasound procedures. Spectra Soft Tissue Biopsy Needles will be marketed as sterile, non-pyrogenic, and single use devices.
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and biocompatibility of a biopsy needle, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
This device is designed for obtaining biopsy samples, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

No
Explanation: The device is used to obtain biopsy samples, which are then analyzed to diagnose a condition. The device itself is a tool for sample collection, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of stainless steel and other materials, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain biopsy samples from soft tissue for percutaneous or open surgical procedures. This is a procedure performed on the patient's body to collect a sample.
  • Device Description: The device is a needle designed for physically extracting tissue.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples outside of the body (in vitro). IVD devices are used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue samples in a laboratory setting to diagnose diseases or conditions.

The device is a tool for collecting a sample, not for performing diagnostic tests on that sample. The collected sample would then likely be sent to a laboratory for in vitro diagnostic testing, but the needle itself is not the IVD device.

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

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the cap was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO 10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing, " May 1, 1995. The submission device and predicate devices are identical. The battery of tests included the following:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Sensitization
  • Irritation or Intracutaneous Reactivity
  • Systemic Toxicity
  • Hemocompatibility

Other performance tests
Physical tests were performed to ensure that the Spectra Soft Tissue Biopsy Needles had standard ISO Luer hubs with applicable luer testing using ISO 594. Needle bond strength tests with hubs were also conducted. The Spectra Soft Tissue Biopsy Needles passed all tests.
