The summary describes a mechanical aspiration needle and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No
The device is used for sampling tissue, delivering materials, or passing accessory devices, which are diagnostic or procedural functions, not therapeutic.
No
The device is an aspiration needle designed to acquire samples from lesions, which are then used for diagnosis, rather than performing the diagnosis itself. While it facilitates the diagnostic process, it is a tool for sample collection, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical needle and its intended use for aspiration and delivery of 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 primary intended use is to sample targeted lesions and deliver materials into tissue. This is a sampling and delivery tool, not a device that performs a diagnostic test on a sample in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description reinforces its function as a needle for acquiring samples and delivering substances. It doesn't mention any components or processes for analyzing or testing the collected sample.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: An IVD device is designed to perform tests on specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to obtain the specimen, not to test it.
The samples collected by this needle might be used for subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing, but the needle itself is not the IVD device.

Device Description
The Expect™ Slimline (SL) Endoscopic Ultrasound Aspiration Needle is and endoscopic ultrasound aspiration needle that can be coupled to the biopsy channel of a Curvilinear Array (CLA) Echoendoscope with a standard luer connection and delivered into the digestive tract. The needle is used to acquire samples from lesions within and adjacent to the digestive system's major lumens that can be identified and targeted using the echoendoscope. An aspiration sample is obtained by penetrating the lesion with the needle while applying suction. Per manufacturer's instructions, the Expect™ Slimline (SL) Endoscopic Ultrasound Aspiration Needle can also be used for delivery of injectable materials (fluids) or fiducials into tissue or for passage of accessory devices.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.
(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

There are no differences in the technological characteristics between the proposed device and the predicate Expect™ Slimline (SL) Endoscopic Ultrasound Aspiration Needle (K133312). The physical device will remain unchanged from the predicate K133312, but the expanded indications require changes to the product DFU. The original design specifications remain unchanged; however, additional performance criteria were introduced to evaluate the ability of the device design to support the proposed indications for use.
7. Performance Data:
Bench testing has been performed on the proposed Expect™ Slimline (SL) device. Bench Testing includes:
- Simulated Use Test Method .
- · Fluid Injection Capability
8. Conclusion:
Boston Scientific Corporation has demonstrated that the proposed Expect™ Slimline (SL) is substantially equivalent to the Expect™ Slimline (SL) Endoscopic Ultrasound Aspiration Needle (K133312), the ECHO Tip Ultra High Definition Ultrasound Access Needle (K092359) and the BNX Fine Needle Aspiration System (K150891).
