Intended Use
The Beacon Fine Needle Fiducial System is intended to implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e. automatic) safety shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle stick injury.
Device Description
The Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System is a sterile, single-use, endoscopic ultrasound device which consists of the Beacon™ Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Delivery System and a Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial (FNF) Needle preloaded with fiducial markers. The Beacon™ EUS Delivery System with Beacon™ FNF Needle is inserted through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The Beacon™ FNF Needle houses two fiducial markers and a fiducial spacer enclosed with bone wax. A blunt stylet contained within the Beacon™ FNF Needle allows for manual deployment of the fiducial markers to the intended location. Once the fiducial markers have been implanted, the Beacon™ FNF Needle may be removed from the Beacon™ EUS Delivery System and replaced with a new Beacon™ FNF Needle for placing additional fiducial markers. The Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System has an integrated needle protection shield that automatically encloses the distal end of the needle during removal to cover the needle sharp. The needle tip is covered to help protect against inadvertent needle sticks.

The description focuses on mechanical components and manual deployment, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing for decision-making.

No.
The device is intended to implant fiducial markers to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures, not to perform a therapeutic procedure itself.

No

The device is intended to implant fiducial markers for future therapeutic procedures, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components including a needle, delivery system, fiducial markers, and a safety shield, 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 "implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body for marking purposes, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a system for delivering physical markers into soft tissue. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes typically associated with IVDs, such as reagents, assays, sample collection, or analysis of biological fluids or tissues in vitro.

Therefore, the Beacon Fine Needle Fiducial System is a medical device used for a therapeutic/procedural purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System is a sterile, single-use, endoscopic ultrasound device which consists of the Beacon™ Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Delivery System and a Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial (FNF) Needle preloaded with fiducial markers. The Beacon™ EUS Delivery System with Beacon™ FNF Needle is inserted through the accessory channel of an ultrasound endoscope. The Beacon™ FNF Needle houses two fiducial markers and a fiducial spacer enclosed with bone wax. A blunt stylet contained within the Beacon™ FNF Needle allows for manual deployment of the fiducial markers to the intended location. Once the fiducial markers have been implanted, the Beacon™ FNF Needle may be removed from the Beacon™ EUS Delivery System and replaced with a new Beacon™ FNF Needle for placing additional fiducial markers. The Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System has an integrated needle protection shield that automatically encloses the distal end of the needle during removal to cover the needle sharp.

Indications for Use

The device is intended to implant fiducial markers under endoscopic ultrasound to radiographically mark soft tissue for future therapeutic procedures. The needle is designed with a passive (i.e. automatic) safety shielding feature to aid in the prevention of needle stick injury.

Technological Characteristics of the Device Compared to Predicate Device

The Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System is identical to the legally marketed BNX Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) System (K150891) in terms of principle of operation, anatomical location, and fundamental scientific technology. Both systems use a delivery system and needle sub-assembly to manually initiate delivery of fiducial markers, as well as exchange needles. In addition, the Beacon™ FNF System indications for use are the same when compared to the predicate BNX Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) System (K150891); with respect to fiducial delivery and prevention of needle stick injury.

Although the predicate BNX FNA System is compatible for use with fiducial markers and bone wax, the materials are not provided with the system. The Beacon™ FNF System includes the components preloaded into the needle sub-assembly for the user. This premarket notification discusses the inclusion of such materials into the Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial Needle subassembly and the design modifications that assist placement of preloaded fiducial markers. Design changes to the Beacon™ FNF System from the predicate BNX FNA System include the following:

  • . Modification to the distal end of the needle stylet
  • Inclusion of two gold seed fiducial markers
  • Inclusion of bone wax
  • . Addition of a fiducial spacer
  • Addition of a deployment indicator ●

Non-Clinical Test Summary

Bench testing was performed for attributes affected by the modifications made to the subject device. Bench testing evaluated such characteristics as fiducial deployment force, fiducial echogenic performance, bond strengths, and deployment indicator functionality. Performance testing for the Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System also consisted of user validation testing, biocompatibility assessment, sterilization validation, packaging validation, shelf life testing, Image Guided Radiotherapy Compatibility, and Magnetic Resonance testing. The results of these tests provide reasonable assurance that the proposed device has been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its intended use. No new safety or performance issues were raised during device testing.

Conclusion

Covidien IIc considers the Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate device BNX Fine Needle Aspiration System (K150891) based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and safety and performance testing. Testing performed demonstrated that the Beacon™ Fine Needle Fiducial System met the required specifications for its intended use.
