The summary describes a mechanical needle device for biopsy and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No
This device is designed for diagnostic sampling (fine needle aspiration) of lesions, not for treating a condition or disease.
Yes
The device is used for fine needle aspiration (FNA) and Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA), which are procedures that obtain tissue samples for pathological examination to diagnose diseases.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a handle, sheath, needle, and stylet, which are physical hardware components. The performance studies also focus on the physical characteristics and performance of these hardware components.
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 a sample (biopsy) from lesions in the tracheobronchial tree using fine needle aspiration. This is a procedure to collect tissue or cells from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a needle designed for physical insertion into the body to collect a sample.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
This device is used to collect the sample, which is then likely sent to a laboratory for in vitro analysis (which would involve IVD devices and procedures). However, the needle itself is a surgical/procedural device, not an IVD.

Device Description
The Flexible 19G EBUS Needle is intended for use with compatible ultrasound endoscopes for Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA) of submucosal and extramural lesions of the tracheobronchial tree. The device is supplied sterile and intended for single patient use.
The device consists of a handle, sheath, needle, and stylet. The sheath and needle are attached to the handle, and the removable stylet is located within the needle.
To perform biopsies, the flexible catheter portion is first inserted into a bronchoscope's working channel (2.2mm) then pushed forward until fully inserted. The handle is then affixed to the channel port of the endoscope using an adapter biopsy valve. The handle facilitates advancement of the needle during puncture of the targeted biopsy site. The sample is obtained by penetrating the lesion with the needle while applying suction at the proximal of the handle. The device is available with a needle size of 19 qauqe (19G).

Summary of Performance Studies
Device performance of the Flexible 19G EBUS Needle was verified through in vitro (bench) and ex vivo testing. Testing was designed to mimic stresses encountered in a clinical setting; acceptance criteria (specifications) were either identical to those of the predicate or established to verify design differences in the 19G Needle relative to the predicate. All testing met the predetermined acceptance criteria as outlined in the test protocols.
Testing to Specifications Identical to the those of the Predicate:
- Insertion and Withdrawal Force: Pass
- Stylet Insertion and Withdrawal Force: Pass
- Activation Force: Pass
- Plastic Deformation Angle: Pass
- Durability: Pass
- Handle Durability: Pass
Testing to Specifications Developed for the 19G Needle:

The device consists of a handle, sheath, needle, and stylet. The sheath and needle are attached to the handle, and the removable stylet is located within the needle.
To perform biopsies, the flexible catheter portion is first inserted into a bronchoscope's working channel (2.2mm) then pushed forward until fully inserted. The handle is then affixed to the channel port of the endoscope using an adapter biopsy valve. The handle facilitates advancement of the needle during puncture of the targeted biopsy site. The sample is obtained by penetrating the lesion with the needle while applying suction at the proximal of the handle. The device is available with a needle size of 19 qauqe (19G).
Indications for Use
The Flexible 19G EBUS Needle has been designed to be used with ultrasound endoscopes for ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of submucosal and extramural lesions of the tracheobronchial tree. Do not use this device for any purpose other than its intended use.
Comparison to Predicate
The Flexible 19G EBUS Needle) is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate, the Olympus Single Use Aspiration Needle cleared under K050503. The 19G Needle has the same technological characteristics as the predicate, that is, they operate in the same manner to obtain a tissue biopsy using an ultrasound endoscope. The intended use of the 19G Needle is a subset of the predicate intended use.
The 19G Needle has a larger, more flexible distal tip relative to the predicate device. A comparison of the 19G Needle and the Olympus Aspiration Needle is provided in the following table.
